Murder at Homecoming Theory Page



Welcome to the Murder at Homecoming Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the Murder at Homecoming series.

Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * Mentioned in the blog: Given the title, it is believed that this is the untitled mystery book mentioned in PB's new year blog post.
 * Homecoming king/queen: There's a theory that one of the love interests is the homecoming king or queen, depending on who we choose to be the love interest, and whoever we don't choose becomes the victim.
 * Killer: There are already two suspects in players' eyes as to who Gabbie's killer could be.
 * The first is Mr. Lewis. Players are suspicious of him because he's portrayed as extremely kind and well-liked by the students, and it's a common trope in media for very kind characters to be revealed as criminals or other antagonists.
 * The second is Millie Pereira. Players think it's a little too convenient that she was "out of town" around the time Gabbie was killed.

Confirmed Theories

 * Meaning of the title: Players believe the murder will take place at a high school during Homecoming, or it could mean the MC returns home just in time to witness the murder. The cover reveals that "Homecoming" refers to Homecoming in a high school.
 * Teen detective: There's a theory that if this story turns out to be a high school story, the MC will be a teen detective solving the murder mystery. The theory is confirmed via the trailer and the first two chapters.
 * Clues: Given the murder mystery and previous series with similar premises and the overall trend towards collections, it is theorized that we may get collectable clues and / or a score system similar to Crimes of Passion, Veil of Secrets or Most Wanted. This is true since MC can take photos of evidence and store them in their locker.
