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.
Can you hold a murder mystery party at home?
Yes, murder mystery parties are commonly held at home and are ideal for house parties, dinners, and small gatherings. Home is free, easy to setup and you have full control over the space.
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.

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.

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.

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.
