Customer Testimonial

Hi team! We used the Tracy Gang 1920s party for a mid-year work function and had the best time! I loved the print-and-go format, the ability to add games was great and lightened the mood. We self-hosted and the information provided made this really easy. Thanks for a fabulous evening. Anna.

FAQ

What do you need for a murder mystery party?

You need the game materials (digital or physical), a group of players, a space to host the event, and optional extras like themed decorations, costumes, and food to enhance the experience.

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.

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 your games handle 100+ guests?

Yes. Our Premium Edition and Virtual Edition games suit groups up to 120 people. Our Mega Edition murder mystery games are specifically designed for very large groups including corporate events and large parties of 120 to 300 and 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.

  1. Guest work in teams or groups and never on their own.
  2. For groups larger than 80 people you really need them seated in teams at a table.
  3. 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.

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.
