FAQ

Are murder mystery games difficult to run?

No, most games are designed to be easy to run with clear instructions. Preparation usually involves following a step by step procedure, making it accessible for beginners.

What sort of venue do I need?

Because murder mysteries involve playing games and your guests doing lots of fun and silly things, they need a quiet venue with lots of space.

You can hold a murder mystery at home or in a function venue. Try any venue which:

  • Is completely private i.e.: not a restaurant or public spaces.
  • Is very quiet i.e. no bands, piped music or DJ's next door.
  • Has lots of room to move around. Imagine all your guests standing in a circle.
  • You need one central area big enough for all guests at one time.

The games are naturally engaging but there are a number of tricks of the trade.

  1. Guest work in teams or groups and never on their own.

  3. For groups larger than 80 and especially larger than 120 you need a very large roving microphone.
