Customer Testimonial
Good morning! We ordered the premium Tracy Gang box for our 1920’s themed staff party. The box came with everything we needed to guide us through hosting a great night! Everyone loved the personalised name badges. The amount of information is daunting to begin with, which is why you need to familiarise yourself with the story etc. The party was a hit, the clues weren’t giving everything away so not every team was able to guess the correct murderer, which is great. Very detailed kit, which we were very happy with. Thank you!

FAQ
What is a murder mystery game?
A murder mystery game is a set of materials designed to help a host run an interactive murder mystery experience. They typically include character profiles, clues, secret information, and instructions that guide players through a fictional crime. The materials may be physical or digital and participants use these materials to uncover evidence, interact with each other, and solve the mystery.
How many people do I need for a murder mystery game?
Boxed games are for 9 to 60 or 61 to 120 people.
Downloadable games are for 1 to 15, 16 to 30, 31 to 60, 61 to 120, 120 to 300 or 301 to 600 people.
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 players need to memorise scripts?
No, most modern games use prompts and guided dialogue rather than scripts, so players can participate naturally without remembering lines. Our experience is that players prefer this as scripts put them under too much pressure.
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.
Can murder mystery games be played virtually?
Yes, all our games are designed for online play using video conferencing tools, making them suitable for remote teams and virtual parties. We have our own in-house system that lets you share clues and interact virtually.
What makes a good murder mystery game?
A good game has a clear storyline, engaging characters, balanced clues, and an easy-to-follow structure that keeps players involved. They are also produced to a high standard of design.
Does the murderer know they are the murderer?
No, but they play the game the same as everyone else. The murderer is a specific character that the host will pick at the start of the night but that person does not know they are the murderer.
Our experience has shown that this is the better strategy. When someone knows they are the murderer they often act "nervous" or "different" and this can cause people to choose them just by how they are acting. We want everyone to enjoy the game whether they are the murderer or not.
Can the host play too?
Yes!
Our games come with a step by step run sheet that guides you through every part of the game. The murderer is only identified in the full story so you can keep the game spoiler free until everyone finds out.
What are your best selling murder mystery games?
Our best selling games tend to be Tracy Gang 1920s, Hollywood Scandal, Caribbean Cruise, Wild West, Christmas Capers and Hippie Homicide 1960s.
What games are suitable for small groups of 4 to 10 people in Sheffield?
