Bad Guy Mystery vs Murder Mystery 2
Same three-role skeleton. Different creator, names, tone, and shop.
People arrive here because the old title was MM2 KIDS and because the Roblox description credits @NIKILIS. That credit is a courtesy, not a shared studio. Murder Mystery 2 is Nikilis’s long-running place. Bad Guy Mystery is dyingblu’s kid-friendly fork, live since 11 July 2026. This page is the dictionary so guides on this wiki do not steal MM2 facts.
Role names
| Murder Mystery 2 | Bad Guy Mystery |
|---|---|
| Innocent | Good Guy |
| Sheriff | Protector |
| Murderer | Bad Guy |
| Knife | Stick, brick, egg, and other throws |
| Gun | Party popper, water pistol, Nerf Gun |
| Coins | Candy |
| Bodies | No bodies; a slap and a vanish |
Teach the right-hand column. The Roles Hub is written in those words on purpose.
What carries over as skill, not as rules
Hiding, watching hands, and not panic-firing a gun still matter. Trading values, chroma flex, seer prices, and official MM2 codes do not carry over. Pasting SPRINGTIDE26 into this shop fails; the expired codes page exists to say that out loud.
Bad Guy throws miss more often up close than a classic knife. If a veteran says the hunter role is “easy,” they have not read how to win as Bad Guy.
Accounts and access
Some households open this place because a kids account cannot join the original MM2. That is a real reason and it is why the review talks about tone. It is still a hunt. Chat still exists. Scripts still get advertised. Roblox family settings still matter.
Shop and passes
MM2’s godly culture is not this crate table. Peekaboo, Sugar Rush, and Snitch are this place’s extra layer. Dual Wield and Double Candy are this place’s Robux extras. Do not buy an MM2 bundle expecting it to appear on dyingblu’s server.
Which game should you open tonight?
Open Bad Guy Mystery if you want a playground lobby, a short 15-player round, and names a younger player can say. Open Murder Mystery 2 if you want the original economy and a decade of item history. Do not open a clone that uses both names at once.
The official dyingblu URL is on official links. This wiki will keep using Bad Guy Mystery in titles even when search still types MM2 KIDS. The changelog is the rename receipt.
If you only needed the table, you can leave. If you needed to play, how to play is the next page that does not mention a single MM2 knife.
Search terms that mix the two games
Queries such as “MM2 kids codes,” “MM2 protector,” and “Nikilis kids mode” will keep landing on both wikis and both Roblox pages. Use this rule: if the article talks about seers, chromas, or a summer pier map from Nikilis, you are reading the original. If it talks about Candy, Peekaboo, and a playground lobby, you are reading this place. The Codes Hub will never import an MM2 string to fill empty space.
Teachers and parents who need one sentence: Bad Guy Mystery is the separate, colorful fork. Murder Mystery 2 is the original catalog. They do not share inventories. They do not share bans. They do not share codes. They share a three-role idea and a credit line.
