★★★★★ Sharon Leal - In May a crew of 4 presented the Caribbean Cruise Murder Mystery for a group of 24 at our Seniors Group. The timeframe for prep was a lot longer than anticipated. However, we all had a blast and will be running it again in September for more members who were unable to attend.

We made my son Emperor Palpatine and worked in three groups of five. It was a great night. I converted my dining room into the Death Star, bought dry ice for the drinks and made food from a Star Wars menu. Thank you for an amazing time. Alison Bernstein.

FAQ
Do players need to memorise scripts?
No, most modern games use prompts and guided dialogue rather than scripts, so players can participate naturally without remembering lines. Our experience is that players prefer this as scripts put them under too much pressure.
How much will the whole murder mystery party cost?
You receive 2 to 3 hours of entertainment for half the price of hiring a karaoke machine.
You should factor in these costs:
- The cost of your murder mystery game.
- The cost of your murder mystery host.
- The cost of your venue.
- The cost of food and drink.
- The cost of decorations.
How many guests do I need?
For a 1920s murder mystery party we have options for small games of 1 to 4 people, medium games of 5 to 30 people and large games of 31 to 600 people.
How long does a 1920s murder mystery party last?
Generally you would allow 2 to 3 hours.
Can guests come without costumes?
1920s costumes look super cool but are not essential. Why not provide some cheap hats and feather boas.
Can children play?
Kids are fine but that is up to you. The 1920s theme does include violence and bootleg alcohol so you have to consider that.
Can everyone be a suspect?
Yes, everyone is a suspect gangster right up until the end.
What happens if someone cancels?
Our games are super flexible and immediately adapt to different guest numbers.
Can I host the game outdoors?
You could especially in an old barn but normally you would pick an indoor art deco venue.
