Customer Testimonial
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
Does the murderer know they are the murderer?
No, but they play the game the same as everyone else. The murderer is a specific character that the host will pick at the start of the night but that person does not know they are the murderer.
Our experience has shown that this is the better strategy. When someone knows they are the murderer they often act "nervous" or "different" and this can cause people to choose them just by how they are acting. We want everyone to enjoy the game whether they are the murderer or not.
Can you hold a murder mystery party at home?
Yes, murder mystery parties are commonly held at home and are ideal for house parties, dinners, and small gatherings. Home is free, easy to setup and you have full control over the space.
Can we go to a restaurant in Wellington, or can we host the night at home?
Murder mystery nights can be held anywhere!
Do guests need to dress up for the night?
Dressing up is lots of fun but we know some guests may not wish to be in costume. Both choices are both great.
Can you do murder mystery nights away?
What an amazing idea. Get a box or print a game and take it with you to play away.
Do you offer complete murder mystery nights in Wellington?
Absolutely. You can run them anywhere and especially in Wellington.
How long does a murder mystery night take?
The playing time depends on the particular game and the number of players. 2 to 3 hours is normal.
How many guests do I need?
For a murder mystery night we have options for small games of 4 to 10 people, medium games of 9 to 30 people and large games of 31 to 600 people.
