★★★★★ Nicole Lehman We purchased the Medieval Madness dinner edition game. Everything was downloadable and easy to print out. Instructions were very easy to follow. Allow a bit of time prior to hosting to familiarise yourself with the contents and structure of the game. Had a fabulous time playing along. It complemented our medieval theme and feast for the night. Highly recommend this site. We will definitely play more games in the future.

Customer Testimonial
I wanted to do something special for my 30th birthday. After researching online I found your site, booked a host and selected the Hollywood game. The host made the night run very easily and it was a great theme for guests to get into. The instructions were very clear and the game ran for two to three hours. The guests loved it and I would definitely do one again.

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.
