Customer Testimonial
We had a great time doing the game. I hosted the evening. I thought everything you provided was excellent. I had a good idea of what to do and how to do it with the information provided. Everyone enjoyed themselves and were so involved we did not take any photos sadly. It was the 80s theme and everyone dressed up which was great and really helped create the atmosphere. The clues were challenging without giving everything away and the team has already asked if we can do another one sometime. Thank you, we will order from you again in the future. Merrin Jack

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.
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.
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.
