FAQ
What age group are murder mystery parties suitable for?
Murder mystery games are typically suitable for adults and teenagers, though some versions are specifically designed for kids or family-friendly events. For the younger ones (and the older ones that need glasses) reading is an essential part of the game so kids need to be old enough to read.
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.
How many guests do I need?
For a 1920s murder mystery party we have options for small games of 1 to 4 people, medium games of 5 to 30 people and large games of 31 to 600 people.
How long does a 1920s murder mystery party last?
Generally you would allow 2 to 3 hours.
Can guests come without costumes?
1920s costumes look super cool but are not essential. Why not provide some cheap hats and feather boas.
Can children play?
Kids are fine but that is up to you. The 1920s theme does include violence and bootleg alcohol so you have to consider that.
Can everyone be a suspect?
Yes, everyone is a suspect gangster right up until the end.
What happens if someone cancels?
Our games are super flexible and immediately adapt to different guest numbers.
Can I host the game outdoors?
You could especially in an old barn but normally you would pick an indoor art deco venue.
