Murder Mystery: Movie Theater Map

A NEW Murder Mystery Map: The movie theater.
This idea randomly occurred to me while playing murder mystery, of a movie theater/cinema themed map. This map would be similar to older theaters rather than modern ones, as it fits the vibe of mm better.

So basically, the map itself would include the theater area of your average movie theater, with doors that are automatic (similar to the Spaceship map), that would open into the main entrance area of the theater, where snacks and drinks are commonly sold. These snacks/drinks (and maybe vending machines), would be your typical interactables, either 1 or 2 coins, (5 for the vending machine) offering effects such as 5 seconds of speed, 10 seconds of night vision, 5 seconds of invisibility, etc. Night vision would come in handy for the main theater area of the map, which would be dimly lit. (Night vision would be useful for both the murderer and sheriff, or innocents armed with bows).

Interactables could include: Popcorn, candy box, soda drinks, etc.

Now, an interactable that would cost more, would be the projector. This would cost maybe 10 coins, and would light up the big screen in the main theater room, offering 5-10 second long clip, shown in third person, and semi pixelated, in real time, of the murderer. This clip would mostly be in black & white, with maybe a 10% chance of it being in color, similar to the percentages of receiving different runes from the Remnants map. The projector would only be usable twice, and would be located in the theater room, by the highest seats.

The murderer projectile of popcorn would go quite well with this map.

I don’t have any build examples for this map currently, but if anyone else does, please share them!

Like a Victorian Theatre (eg The Globe) or like a modern cinema (eg Odeon)?
I think there should be a little thingy playi in eahc ofthe rooms and that it would be a whole building

Honestly, it could be both! I was thinking of a more modern theater interior. But there could be 2 different variants instead, (like the ones you mentioned) sort of like how backrooms has map variants.

that sounds like a really fun map design, except instead of a commonday movie theater where its just a box with seats I think an olden-day theater where plays happened would be so much better. This would allow the map to include the audience, the stage, and backstage as well. The potential for creative map elements here is also much higher. All in all, a great map theme so voted.

I see some map ideas that are ok but I don’t really care if they get added, but this is a good idea. It just fits the vibe of mm so well. Like a killer in the kinda “liminal” theater. Voted!

That is a possibility! I was thinking more of a year round map, but it could be a seasonal one instead.

I think the only problem i could see is people recreating Abraham lincolns death or smth, but it is a nice idea. Though new movie theartres would match the Hive nice, since they could make the movies like game trailers lol. Voted!

I really don’t think that would be anyone’s first thought at a cinema styled map. If someone were to see a movie theater, all they would think is it’s a cool movie theater.

Whos that? Oh… But thats an opera isnt it? At least the scene i saw looked like an opera box (hh)

Also would this be like a victorian silent picture theatre or a theatre or a cinema and if so what time period of cinema (also in the movies they always have a design where it has like letters showing whats on but i have literally never seen a cinema or theatre like that)

Modern theaters are very different, I don’t think that would be an issue.

Players recreating that moment didn’t even cross my mind lol. But the seats would be in a more modern format I think. If the map does go with a more olden-day theme, it would just be a simple stage. But, I think that modern day theaters would work better with the idea of the projector interactable, and the murderer clips, since modern theaters have large screens, and not a stage. I do like the concept of the trailers as movies.. maybe it could play different trailers for other games on the hive?
