Squeeze Murder
Everyone sits in a circle. Get enough pieces of paper for everyone in the party, and write the letters 'M' on one of them. All the rest are blank. Fold the papers up and get everyone to take a piece. Whoever has the 'M' is the murderer. They must keep it secret.
Now turn the lights out and start. The murderer chooses who he wants to kill and, from memory, counts how many people are between him and the victim. That number is the number of times he will squeeze the person's hand to his left (or nudge them).
That person then squeezes the next person's hand 1 less time than the murderer and so on around the circle. Whoever only gets squeezed once is now dead. They must act a short 'death' and move out of the circle.
Repeat until everyone is dead or the murderer kills himself accidentally.
Note: the murderer wants to wait a while after the lights go out to start the squeezing so no one suspects him!
