* Parodied in ''[[The Goodies (TV)|The Goodies]]'' episode "Daylight Robbery on the Orient Express".
* ''Mathnet'' (from ''[[Square One TV]]'') did an episode like this that was both a parody (the villain turned out to be a {{spoiler|court stenographer}}) and an ''homage''.
* One ''[[Boy Meets World]]'' episode (Called "And Then There Were [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Shawn]]") features this plot, with the characters stuck in detention (caused by a quarrel between the main characters) and soon being killed by a mysterious murderer within the school, ([[Shout
* Parodied in ''[[Frasier]]'' when the station is redoing an old radio drama. It was clearly supposed to be like this, but Niles (who was forced to take on multiple roles, including the murderer, at the last second) finally gets sick of Frasier's overdirecting and "kills" every other character in under a minute, before doing himself in cheerfully proclaiming that the secret of the mystery will die with him, leaving Frasier (as the detective) to desperately close the thing out.
* ''[[MacGyver]]'': "The Invisible Killer". Just as Mac determines which of the Phoenix employees on his wilderness stress-relief retreat is an imposter, we find out that not one but ''two'' of them are really escaped convicts.

** {{spoiler|Since it's a birthday party, they decide to have everyone tell them what's in their gift, something chameleon wouldn't know. Here comes Nathan's turn. He says a blue sweater. Surprise: his present is actually a blue scarf. He had someone else buy the gift and comes to the conclusion that they must've thought that the scarf would've been a better gift than the sweater.}}
** {{spoiler|[[The Reveal|And the chameleon is...]] Audrey. Yes, the main character is the chameleon. When the chameleon transformed into her, he took her form, but she didn't die, so she had to lock her in a chest hidden away in the mansion. Nathan had recently discovered that he could feel Audrey, when he can't feel anything else. He figured out who the chameleon was he couldn't feel "Audrey". To confirm, he kissed Audrey, still felt nothing, pushed her back, and calmly shoots her in the chest, killing the chameleon.}}

* Referenced by title, and played with, in the episode of ''[[Leverage]]'', "The 10 Li'l Grifters Job". [[The Mark]] invites all his favorite enemies to a murder mystery dinner party. Right after announcing that someone is about to die, the lights go off, and someone actually kills him. Nathan, realizing that he would be the prime suspect, has to figure out who actually committed the murder... while simultaneously trying to convince the rest of the guests that it's actually [[All Part of the Show|all part of the event]].
* "Murder at Moorstones Manor" is the ''[[Ripping Yarns]]'' take on this trope.
