In this study, we explore the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) in "Jubensha" (Chinese murder mystery role-playing games), a novel area in AI-driven gaming. We introduce the first Chinese dataset specifically for Jubensha, including character scripts and game rules, to foster AI agent development in this complex narrative environment. Our work also presents a unique multi-agent interaction framework using LLMs, allowing AI agents to autonomously engage in the game, enhancing the dynamics of Jubensha gameplay. To evaluate these AI agents, we developed specialized methods targeting their mastery of case information and reasoning skills. Furthermore, we incorporated the latest advancements in in-context learning to improve the agents' performance in critical aspects like information gathering, murderer detection, and logical reasoning. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of our proposed methods. This work aims to offer a fresh perspective on understanding LLM capabilities and establish a new benchmark for evaluating large language model-based agents to researchers in the field.
