Customer Testimonial
On behalf of the Social Club committee and our members, I would like to say a huge thank for a fantastic night on Friday. We truly appreciate the hard work you went to create a bespoke murder mystery event for us. You thought about all the venue and guest challenges and created an event that worked seamlessly and was great fun. What I loved about the design of the event was the flexibility for people to get involved as much or as little as they wanted yet still have fun. The design of the event also encouraged guests to socialise outside of their normal bubble. At our events we typically see guests staying in their own groups, however the purpose of social club events is to network and meet people you would not normally speak to in your day-to-day role. Your design achieved this beautifully and it was great to see people interacting. Thank you so much.

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.
Do you need a host for a murder mystery party?
Our murder mystery games are designed to be self-hosted, meaning no professional host is required. The game materials guide the host step by step through the experience. However, you can choose to have a professional host if you prefer, allowing you to relax and enjoy the event while someone else manages the flow. An experienced host can also enhance the experience with their energy and experience.
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.
What if I have an odd number of guests or last-minute dropouts?
Our games are super flexible and allow characters to be removed or reassigned easily so the game can continue even if a player drops out. You will never need to worry about last minute cancellations.
Can the host play too?
Yes!
Our games come with a step by step run sheet that guides you through every part of the game. The murderer is only identified in the full story so you can keep the game spoiler free until everyone finds out.
