Customer Testimonial
Hi, we certainly had a very different, but enjoyable night! Myself and one of my colleagues ran the night, but it was a lot of hard work. I would definitely recommend hiring one of your staff to do this, as I do not think we did it justice. Loved the character names and the printable invites, and everything that went with it. It was a great workplace Christmas party and everyone commented that they enjoyed it. Thanks Katie.

FAQ
What is a murder mystery party?
A murder mystery party is a live, interactive event where guests take on character roles and work together to solve a fictional crime. Unlike traditional sit-down games, most murder mystery experiences are more like a theatrical event, with players moving around, interacting, and uncovering clues through conversation. Each participant receives background information and secrets, and the story unfolds as the night progresses. In many games, one guest becomes the victim and another the murderer, while the rest work in teams to investigate and solve the mystery. Even the victim remains involved, helping guide the experience and keep the story engaging.
Do you have a murder mystery game suitable for a hen's night or for all girls?
You have great choices:
- Our "Bogan Bride (or Redneck Bride) and the Billionaire" theme is set at a wedding and is perfect.
- Our "Hollywood Scandal" theme has characters that could either be boys or girls with names like "The Star" and "The Producer".
- Our "Wild West" theme involves a wedding and a baby swap and is great for a Hen’s Night (some guests will be boys but this increases the fun!)
