Welcome to The Deadliest Game Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the The Deadliest Game series.

Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * Mature rating: Assuming it's the aforementioned murder mystery, it may also be rated 17+, just like Crimes of Passion.

Confirmed Theories

 * GOC Murder Mystery: Given that this is a multiple LI book, it is believed that this is the gender of choice murder mystery teased in Choices Insiders July 2023. This is confirmed with the release of "The Deadliest Gambit", a prequel which mentions said game which leads to a real murder mystery, and Choices Insiders January 2024 confirms this book is GoC.


 * Theories about what the "game" could refer to: Since we currently only know that the book is potentially a murder mystery, the titular game could refer to:
 * Murder Mystery Party: It's possible that the "game" is a murder-mystery party that soon turns into the titular "deadliest game" when people end up dying for real. This is confirmed with the release of a VIP-exclusive book of the same series, called "The Deadliest Gambit".

Debunked Theories

 * Theories about what the "game" could refer to: Since we currently only know that the book is potentially a murder mystery, the titular game could refer to:
 * Squid Game inspiration: It's possible that the "game" is a Squid Game-esque game where people compete in life-or-death games.
 * Saw inspiration: Since the Saw franchise involves people playing the killer's "games", it's possible that this book will take inspiration from it and feature a Jigsaw-esque antagonist.
 * The Most Dangerous Game: Since the titles are similar, the book may also be inspired by The Most Dangerous Game, which is about a human hunt.
