Customer Testimonial
A big thank you to your amazing product! I used it for my 18th birthday party and did not get one complaint. Everyone agreed that it was much better than a regular party and we all had a blast. We bought the download version of the Hollywood pack for 15 people and had fun trying to figure out what events led up to the murder. I really enjoyed the night and so did the guests. I would absolutely do another murder mystery in the future. Many thanks, Mana.

Boxed games are for 9 to 60 or 61 to 120 people.
Downloadable games are for 1 to 15, 16 to 30, 31 to 60, 61 to 120, 120 to 300 or 301 to 600 people.
How long does a murder mystery party take?
A typical 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.
What do you need for a murder mystery party?
You need the game materials (digital or physical), a group of players, a space to host the event, and optional extras like themed decorations, costumes, and food to enhance the experience.
Do players need to memorise scripts?
No, most modern games use prompts and guided dialogue rather than scripts, so players can participate naturally without remembering lines. Our experience is that players prefer this as scripts put them under too much pressure.
Do my guests have to act?
Absolutely not! No acting experience is required. Players can participate at their own comfort level. If the murder mystery places participants in groups 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.
What if I have an odd number of guests or last-minute dropouts?
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.

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.
