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
How does a murder mystery party work?
A murder mystery party follows a structured storyline with a beginning, middle, and conclusion. The event starts with the crime being introduced, followed by a period of investigation where guests gather clues, question each other, and uncover secrets. It ends with players presenting their theories before the solution is revealed. Many games also include fun challenges and light-hearted moments to keep the experience engaging.
Our murder mystery party pack contains everything you need to run a fabulous murder mystery party.
Organise a murder mystery party in 3 steps!
- Step 1 Order your murder mystery game
- Step 2 Host the game yourself or hire a murder mystery host
- Step 3 Have a killer night of murderous fun!
Once you get your box or download you have 2 choices:
- 1)DIY - This is a do-it-yourself party pack so you, a friend or family member can be the host. Hosting your party this way keeps the cost down and is very exciting.
- 2) Hire a host - hire a professional murder mystery actor in your area. Hosts definitely add more fun to the night and make your job easier.
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 Newcastle, 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 Newcastle 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.
