★★★★★ 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.

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.

Each participant receives background information and secrets, and the story unfolds as the night progresses.

Even the victim remains involved, helping guide the experience and keep the story engaging.
