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
What is a murder mystery game?
A murder mystery game is a set of materials designed to help a host run an interactive murder mystery experience. They typically include character profiles, clues, secret information, and instructions that guide players through a fictional crime.

How long does a murder mystery party take?
A typical murder mystery party lasts between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the game format, number of players, and how quickly guests engage with the mystery. Smaller groups often finish closer to 2 hours, while larger groups may take up to 3 hours as more players interact and share clues.
Do my guests have to act?
Absolutely not! No acting experience is required. Players can participate at their own comfort level. If the murder mystery places participants in groups this is even better.

What makes a good murder mystery game?
A good game has a clear storyline, engaging characters, balanced clues, and an easy-to-follow structure that keeps players involved. They are also produced to a high standard of design.
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 the host play too?
Yes!
Our games come with a step by step run sheet that guides you through every part of the game. The murderer is only identified in the full story so you can keep the game spoiler free until everyone finds out.
What are your best selling murder mystery games?
Our best selling games tend to be Tracy Gang 1920s, Hollywood Scandal, Caribbean Cruise, Wild West, Christmas Capers and Hippie Homicide 1960s.
