Google Review
★★★★★ Bought this game for my wife's 30th surprise birthday party. She had no idea what was happening but loved every second of the game. It was perfect timing since her birthday is just before Halloween. We did it up big. Everyone dressed their parts. There was one group who knew the killer in the second round but wasn't certain. Everyone kept walking around stealing info from other teams. You may not want to allow phones, though it was fun watching everyone try to be slick with hiding the fact that they were taking pictures. We can't wait to try it again with our customers.

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.
