Customer Testimonial
Hello!!! OMG YES! We absolutely loved our murder mystery game. We used it at my sister’s bachelorette party. We had everyone dressed as different reality stars. The process was really easy, especially with editing and printing all the materials ourselves. My older sister was our host so we kept it simple but overall we really enjoyed it! Thank you!! Areeg

FAQ
What do you need for a murder mystery party?
You need the game materials (digital or physical), a group of players, a space to host the event, and optional extras like themed decorations, costumes, and food to enhance the experience.
How do you assign characters in a murder mystery game?
We recommend that you don't assign characters until the night of the event. This means that if people are sick at the last minute then the game will not be affected. You can give people suggestions as to the type of character they are e.g. come as a surgeon, dress as a hippie. This way they are dressed generically and can suit a wide range of characters. It is best to let your host put people into groups and assign characters on the night.

Can I make it a surprise party?
We generally don’t recommend keeping a murder mystery party as a complete surprise. While you’re free to run your event however you like, guests tend to enjoy the experience more when they know what to expect. Because murder mystery parties are interactive and often involve dressing up, giving people advance notice helps build excitement and participation.
If you’re planning a surprise birthday party, it’s best to bring in the murder mystery host after the surprise has taken place. Once the surprise happens, there is usually 30–45 minutes of meet and greet while the guest of the moment greets everyone. This makes it difficult to start the game straight away. For example, if the surprise is at 7:00pm, have your host arrive around 7:30pm so they can set up and begin once things settle.
If the host arrives before the surprise, they may be left waiting with little to do. Similarly, for workplace events, it’s better not to surprise your colleagues—letting them know in advance will lead to a more engaged and enjoyable experience.
Can you hold a murder mystery party at home?
Yes, murder mystery parties are commonly held at home and are ideal for house parties, dinners, and small gatherings. Home is free, easy to setup and you have full control over the space.
Do you have a murder mystery game suitable for a hen's night or for all girls?
You have great choices:
- Our "Bogan Bride (or Redneck Bride) and the Billionaire" theme is set at a wedding and is perfect.
- Our "Hollywood Scandal" theme has characters that could either be boys or girls with names like "The Star" and "The Producer".
- Our "Wild West" theme involves a wedding and a baby swap and is great for a Hen’s Night (some guests will be boys but this increases the fun!)
