Customer Testimonial
I wanted to do something special for my 30th birthday. After researching online I found your site, booked a host and selected the Hollywood game. The host made the night run very easily and it was a great theme for guests to get into. The instructions were very clear and the game ran for two to three hours. The guests loved it and I would definitely do one again.

What is a murder mystery party?
A murder mystery party is a live, interactive event where guests take on character roles and work together to solve a fictional crime.

Each participant receives background information and secrets, and the story unfolds as the night progresses.

Even the victim remains involved, helping guide the experience and keep the story engaging.
