★★★★★ David Elliott The game was excellent. We have 4 couples who go away for a weekend together once a year. We are all in our 60s and always looking for fun things to do. We all got dressed up in the 1920s gear and played the parts of the Tracey game. What a night it was, everyone enjoyed the experience. Thank you so much.

Customer Testimonial
We had a great time doing the game. I hosted the evening. I thought everything you provided was excellent. I had a good idea of what to do and how to do it with the information provided. Everyone enjoyed themselves and were so involved we did not take any photos sadly. It was the 80s theme and everyone dressed up which was great and really helped create the atmosphere. The clues were challenging without giving everything away and the team has already asked if we can do another one sometime. Thank you, we will order from you again in the future. Merrin Jack

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.
