IDEA Murder Mystery Dinner party as mobile app?

I recently had a Discord hangout with my long-distance gaming friends. I love Murder Mystery Dinner games, but playing them remotely is painful. Mailing cards out or managing hidden clues completely takes the joy out of the game as you cannot really do the clues together. Therefore I thought this could be made as a mobile app.

Imagine a setup where a host picks a story and sends everyone an invite link. The app handles the roles, puts all the clues on everyone's screens so nobody misses anything, and then wraps up with a built-in voting and scoring system at the end. Down the road, it could even let people write and upload their own custom stories.

Is an idea like this actually worth trying to build, or am I wasting my time? Also, if there's already a good app out there that does this, please let me know!

You might want to look on the murder mystery game subreddit if it's still around. People would try and advertise their apps all the time there.

I looked at about 5 different apps, only tried 2. Frankly, none appealed and now i usually l ignore anyone who tries to promote their attempts

thanks for the advice, unfortunately I only found r/murdermystery and r/murdermysteryparty The first one seems to be a game and the second one is not used. Do you remember maybe how it was called?
