FAQ
What do you need for a murder mystery party?
You need the game materials (digital or physical), a group of players, a space to host the event, and optional extras like themed decorations, costumes, and food to enhance the experience.
How do you assign characters in a murder mystery game?
We recommend that you don't assign characters until the night of the event. This means that if people are sick at the last minute then the game will not be affected. You can give people suggestions as to the type of character they are e.g. come as a surgeon, dress as a hippie. This way they are dressed generically and can suit a wide range of characters. It is best to let your host put people into groups and assign characters on the night.
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 Cambridge, 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 Cambridge 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.
