Murder Mystery: Just Village Map FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start a Murder Mystery game on this map?
Load the Just Village map, gather your players, and designate one person as the murderer while others are innocents. The murderer should start in a hidden location (like one of the towers or inside a house) while innocents spawn in the central market area and have a set time to hide or prepare before the hunt begins.
Can I play Hide and Seek instead of Murder Mystery?
Yes, the map is designed for both game modes. For Hide and Seek, designate one seeker and have all other players hide throughout the village—use the houses, barn, towers, and riverside areas as your hiding spots.
What's the best hiding spot in the village?
The tall stone towers offer height advantage and multiple rooms, while the houses scattered around provide quick indoor cover. The barn and riverside areas near the boats are good for players who want to hide away from the central market, though the towers give you visibility to spot other players too.
How many players does this map support?
The map is built for small to medium groups playing together—typically 4-12 players works best for Murder Mystery or Hide and Seek, though you can adjust based on how many hiding spots you want to use.
Are there any areas outside the playable zone?
The high mountain cliffs that border the town act as natural boundaries to keep players in the main village area, so you won't accidentally wander into unfinished terrain.
Can I modify the map or add my own rules?
Yes, you can edit the map in Creative Mode to add custom rules, change spawn points, or adjust hiding spots to suit your group's preferences.
Does the map work in multiplayer?
Yes, the map is designed for multiplayer minigames and works on servers or in local multiplayer sessions with your friends.
What should I do if players keep finding the same hiding spots?
Rotate which areas are off-limits each round, use the river and boats as alternative hiding zones, or have players hide in less obvious locations like inside the market stalls or on rooftops of the houses.
Is there a time limit I should set for rounds?
There's no built-in timer, so you'll need to decide with your group—typically 5-10 minutes works well for Murder Mystery to give hiders time to find spots and the murderer time to hunt, but adjust based on your map size preference.
Can I use the towers to get an unfair advantage?
The towers are part of the map design and visible to all players, so using them is fair game—but experienced players will check them first, so hiding there requires strategy and timing.
