★★★★★ Nicole Lehman We purchased the Medieval Madness dinner edition game. Everything was downloadable and easy to print out. Instructions were very easy to follow. Allow a bit of time prior to hosting to familiarise yourself with the contents and structure of the game. Had a fabulous time playing along. It complemented our medieval theme and feast for the night. Highly recommend this site. We will definitely play more games in the future.

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.

Our games are super flexible and allow characters to be removed or reassigned easily so the game can continue even if a player drops out. You will never need to worry about last minute cancellations.
