Customer Testimonial
Hi, we certainly had a very different, but enjoyable night! Myself and one of my colleagues ran the night, but it was a lot of hard work. I would definitely recommend hiring one of your staff to do this, as I do not think we did it justice. Loved the character names and the printable invites, and everything that went with it. It was a great workplace Christmas party and everyone commented that they enjoyed it. Thanks Katie.

Boxed games are for 9 to 60 or 61 to 120 people.
Downloadable games are for 1 to 15, 16 to 30, 31 to 60, 61 to 120, 120 to 300 or 301 to 600 people.
How long does a murder mystery party take?
A typical murder mystery party lasts between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the game format, number of players, and how quickly guests engage with the mystery. Smaller groups often finish closer to 2 hours, while larger groups may take up to 3 hours as more players interact and share clues.
What age group are murder mystery parties suitable for?
Murder mystery games are typically suitable for adults and teenagers, though some versions are specifically designed for kids or family-friendly events. For the younger ones (and the older ones that need glasses) reading is an essential part of the game so kids need to be old enough to read.
Do my guests have to act?
Absolutely not! No acting experience is required. Players can participate at their own comfort level. If the murder mystery places participants in groups this is even better. The more gregarious players can take the spotlight while the more reserved players can share clues or sleuth away in the background.
