Customer Testimonial

A big thank you to your amazing product! I used it for my 18th birthday party and did not get one complaint. Everyone agreed that it was much better than a regular party and we all had a blast. We bought the download version of the Hollywood pack for 15 people and had fun trying to figure out what events led up to the murder. I really enjoyed the night and so did the guests. I would absolutely do another murder mystery in the future. Many thanks, Mana.

FAQ

Can murder mystery games be played virtually?

Yes, all our games are designed for online play using video conferencing tools, making them suitable for remote teams and virtual parties. We have our own in-house system that lets you share clues and interact virtually.

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.

How many guests do I need?

For a 1920s murder mystery party we have options for small games of 1 to 4 people, medium games of 5 to 30 people and large games of 31 to 600 people.

How long does a 1920s murder mystery party last?

Generally you would allow 2 to 3 hours.

Can guests come without costumes?

1920s costumes look super cool but are not essential. Why not provide some cheap hats and feather boas.

Can children play?

Kids are fine but that is up to you. The 1920s theme does include violence and bootleg alcohol so you have to consider that.

Can everyone be a suspect?

Yes, everyone is a suspect gangster right up until the end.

What happens if someone cancels?

Our games are super flexible and immediately adapt to different guest numbers.

Can I host the game outdoors?

You could especially in an old barn but normally you would pick an indoor art deco venue.
