Customer Testimonial
The Murder Mystery Party was for my 16-year-old daughter and five friends. The party was amazing, even with a small group. They all had multiple characters which kept them thinking and remembering who they were. We also included a shooting game for extra clues. The convenience of not having to organize and print everything was worth it with the box, the quality of the game was excellent and I had no problems with delivery or the contents. Thank you so much, my daughter had an AMAZING Murder Mystery Party. Tanya.

FAQ
Are murder mystery games suitable for beginners?
Yes, most games are designed for first-time players and include simple instructions, making them easy to understand and enjoy. Remember, everyone is a beginner the first time they play.
Can I make it a surprise party?
We generally don’t recommend keeping a murder mystery party as a complete surprise. While you’re free to run your event however you like, guests tend to enjoy the experience more when they know what to expect. Because murder mystery parties are interactive and often involve dressing up, giving people advance notice helps build excitement and participation.
If you’re planning a surprise birthday party, it’s best to bring in the murder mystery host after the surprise has taken place. Once the surprise happens, there is usually 30–45 minutes of meet and greet while the guest of the moment greets everyone. This makes it difficult to start the game straight away. For example, if the surprise is at 7:00pm, have your host arrive around 7:30pm so they can set up and begin once things settle.
If the host arrives before the surprise, they may be left waiting with little to do. Similarly, for workplace events, it’s better not to surprise your colleagues—letting them know in advance will lead to a more engaged and enjoyable experience.
How many people do I need for a murder mystery team building event?
Boxed games are for 9 to 60 or 61 to 120 people.
Downloadable games are for 4 to 6, 7 to 10, 9 to 15, 16 to 30, 31 to 60 and 61 to 120 people.
How long does a murder mystery party take?
A typical team building murder mystery party lasts between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the game format, number of players, and how quickly guests engage with the mystery. Smaller groups often finish closer to 2 hours, while larger groups may take up to 3 hours as more players interact and share clues.
Do staff have to act?
Absolutely not! No acting experience is required. Players can participate at their own comfort level. The murder mystery places participants in groups and 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 we use our own venue?
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.
Should we hire a professional murder mystery presenter?
A professional host brings experience, structure, and energy to your event. They help get all guests involved, guide the game, and ensure everything runs smoothly so you can relax and enjoy the party.
However it could be a really fun aspect of your team building event that one of your staff runs it.
Can remote staff join?
Absolutely! You can either host a fully online murder mystery or have a hybrid approach where some staff are in the room and some are remote.
Are murder mystery parties good for team building in Jacksonville?
Yes, they encourage communication, problem-solving, and teamwork, making them ideal for corporate events and team-building activities. They can be played at the office or in any venue of your choice.
