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
Do you have a custom murder mystery game?
We offer two ways to have a custom murder mystery.
Digital Custom Murder Mystery
This is where you enter your details in a database and a custom game is produced instantly to match your requirements.
Boxed Custom Murder Mystery
This is a fully custom version. We write these games from scratch and you can include any story element you wish in your mystery
There will be kids at the party, is that OK?
Yes. Kids are often present and they can join in or just be around. If they are not going to be involved just make sure they have something else to do.
How long does a murder mystery dinner party typically take?
Most dinner games run between 2 to 2.5 hours, which aligns perfectly with a standard two or three-course restaurant meal service.
How does a murder mystery dinner work alongside meal service?
The game is structured to run smoothly in distinct rounds between your food courses. Guests mingle over starters, dig into clues during the main meal, and make their final accusations right before dessert, ensuring your food stays hot and the gameplay stays fast-paced.
Do we need to hire a restaurant in Wellington, or can we host it at home?
You can host anywhere! Our murder mystery dinners work brilliantly in private home dining rooms, rented Airbnb spaces, function rooms, or local restaurants with private dining areas.
Is this suitable for both small intimate groups and large group banquets?
Yes. We offer scalable character formats designed specifically for cozy groups of 4 to 10 guests as well as large multi-table corporate dinners with 100+ attendees.
What happens if a venue or restaurant in Wellington has noisy background music?
We recommend booking a private or semi-private dining space where possible. If you are in a main dining room, our host guides and printable materials ensure every guest has physical or digital clue sheets so no crucial details are missed.
Do guests need to dress up according to the theme?
Dressing up is lots of fun but we know you may not wish to be in costume in a public place. Costumes or no costumes are both great.
Can we run a self-hosted murder mystery dinner without hiring an actor?
Absolutely. Our self-hosted and DIY game kits include simple, step-by-step instructions so the host can play along or designate a guest to facilitate the rounds between courses.
What if our guest count changes at the last minute?
Our game formats feature flexible mechanics, so an unexpected drop-out or last-minute RSVP won't ruin the storyline or game balance.
