FAQ

What is a murder mystery game?

A murder mystery game is a set of materials designed to help a host run an interactive murder mystery experience. They typically include character profiles, clues, secret information, and instructions that guide players through a fictional crime. The materials may be physical or digital and participants use these materials to uncover evidence, interact with each other, and solve the mystery.

Contents of a murder mystery game
How many people do I need for a murder mystery game?

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.

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 food works best for a murder mystery party?

Finger foods or buffets work best, as they allow guests to eat while interacting and solving the mystery. If you want a full meal we strongly recommend you play the game before or after dinner.

What makes a good murder mystery game?

A good game has a clear storyline, engaging characters, balanced clues, and an easy-to-follow structure that keeps players involved. They are also produced to a high standard of design.

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 the host play too?

Yes!

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.

What are your best selling murder mystery games?

Our best selling games tend to be Tracy Gang 1920s, Hollywood Scandal, Caribbean Cruise, Wild West, Christmas Capers and Hippie Homicide 1960s.
