FAQ
What age group are murder mystery parties suitable for?
Murder mystery games are typically suitable for adults and teenagers, though some versions are specifically designed for kids or family-friendly events. For the younger ones (and the older ones that need glasses) reading is an essential part of the game so kids need to be old enough to read.
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.
Can we go to a restaurant in the United Kingdom, or can we host the night at home?
Murder mystery nights can be held anywhere!
Do guests need to dress up for the night?
Dressing up is lots of fun but we know some guests may not wish to be in costume. Both choices are both great.
Can you do murder mystery nights away?
What an amazing idea. Get a box or print a game and take it with you to play away.
Do you offer complete murder mystery nights in the United Kingdom?
Absolutely. You can run them anywhere and especially in the United Kingdom.
