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.
Can we go to a restaurant in Los Angeles, or can we host the night at home?
Murder mystery nights can be held anywhere!
Do guests need to dress up for the night?
Dressing up is lots of fun but we know some guests may not wish to be in costume. Both choices are both great.
Can you do murder mystery nights away?
What an amazing idea. Get a box or print a game and take it with you to play away.
Do you offer complete murder mystery nights in Los Angeles?
Absolutely. You can run them anywhere and especially in Los Angeles.
How long does a murder mystery night take?
The playing time depends on the particular game and the number of players. 2 to 3 hours is normal.
How many guests do I need?
For a murder mystery night we have options for small games of 4 to 10 people, medium games of 9 to 30 people and large games of 31 to 600 people.
