Murder Unblocked

Murder is a tiny, tense browser game with a dark sense of humor. You’re a scheming royal adviser creeping up behind a king, and success depends on reading his every glance. Once you win, you’re the new king, and now you have to keep an eye on whoever is sneaking up on you. It’s free to play in a browser tab, with nothing to download.

What “Murder” Means Here

This page is about a cartoon browser game, not true crime or anything real. The “murder” is a comic palace-intrigue setup: a cartoon king, a dagger, and a dungeon for anyone who gets caught.

Two Phases, One Button

Phase One: The Assassin

You sneak up behind the king and charge your attack. If he turns around and sees you with the dagger ready, you’re sent to the dungeon and start over. If you strike while he’s looking away, he’s finished and you take the crown.

Phase Two: The King

Now the pressure flips. Other characters approach from behind, and you have to look back and deal with them at the right moment. A game database notes that not everyone approaching is a killer, so a reflex reaction can cost you. The same source mentions four possible endings depending on how you play.

Controls (and Why Sources Disagree)

Source	What it says
Poki-style listings and a game database	Space charges and stabs as the killer and looks behind as the king
One unblocked portal (UBG66)	Spacebar to hold and creep forward or check behind, mouse for navigation
Another portal (murdergame.github.io)	Hold the mouse button or tap, then release

The original keyboard version is built around the spacebar. The mouse and tap options likely come from how individual sites have adapted it, so try your copy’s start screen first.

Tips for Staying Out of the Dungeon

These are suggestions drawn from the sources’ advice and general sense, not tested strategy:

Watch the king, not the meter. He gives subtle cues before he turns.
Let go when he looks. Listings advise releasing your attack rather than getting caught holding it.
Be patient. Rushing is how most runs end early.
As king, check behind you regularly. Don’t stare straight ahead.
Don’t react to everyone. Not every character is a threat, so identify who’s approaching before you act.
Use failures as practice. Each dungeon trip teaches you the king’s habits.

Who Made It?

Credits vary. A Poki-based listing credits Studio Seufz of Stuttgart, Germany, while a game database lists Exotworking for the original Flash game. If the credit matters to your page, check the official source for your version.

Content Note for Parents and Teachers

The game is cartoon-styled and comic, but its premise involves attacking a king with a dagger. Decide whether it fits your setting before you recommend it to younger players.
