FAQ
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.
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. The more gregarious players can take the spotlight while the more reserved players can share clues or sleuth away in the background.
What games work for very large groups?
For everyday large events, our Premium Edition Murder Mystery come standard for 60 to 120 people.
For very large events, our Mega Edition Murder Mystery games are a great option because they are designed for large groups and corporate events with 120 to 300 or 300 to 600 people.

Can one person host and run a large group murder mystery?
Yes, I have done it myself hundreds of times. You may need helpers or assistants but only one person is required to run the show.
How do you keep everyone involved in a large group murder mystery?
The games are naturally engaging but there are a number of tricks of the trade.
- Guest work in teams or groups and never on their own.
- For groups larger than 80 people you really need them seated in teams at a table.
- For groups larger than 80 and especially larger than 120 you need a very large roving microphone.
How do you run a murder mystery for a large group?
You need one dedicated presenter to run the show. It is also a great idea to have 2 or 3 nominated helpers to run out materials etc.
How do guests know what they are supposed to do during the mystery?

In the Mega Edition games each team has a leader. The leader is supplied with clear instructions of what to do next and then they guide their team with the presenter's help.

With the characters you make sure you always have more than you need.
