Hi team! We used the Tracy Gang 1920s party for a mid-year work function and had the best time! I loved the print-and-go format, the ability to add games was great and lightened the mood. We self-hosted and the information provided made this really easy. Thanks for a fabulous evening. Anna.

FAQ
What age group are murder mystery parties suitable for?
Murder mystery games are typically suitable for adults and teenagers, though some versions are specifically designed for kids or family-friendly events. For the younger ones (and the older ones that need glasses) reading is an essential part of the game so kids need to be old enough to read.
What food works best for a murder mystery party?
Finger foods or buffets work best, as they allow guests to eat while interacting and solving the mystery. If you want a full meal we strongly recommend you play the game before or after dinner.
Can large groups play murder mystery games?
Absolutely, Premium Edition games are designed for up to 120 people and Mega Edition games are suitable for up to 300 people.
How do players solve the mystery?
Players gather clues, question other characters, and piece together information to identify the murderer, motive, and method.
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. Unlike traditional sit-down games, most murder mystery experiences are more like a theatrical event, with players moving around, interacting, and uncovering clues through conversation. Each participant receives background information and secrets, and the story unfolds as the night progresses. In many games, one guest becomes the victim and another the murderer, while the rest work in teams to investigate and solve the mystery. Even the victim remains involved, helping guide the experience and keep the story engaging.
