FAQs
What is a murder mystery?
Murder mystery games are generally party games wherein one of the partygoers is secretly playing a murderer, and the other attendees must determine who among them is the criminal. Our games are scripted so that all guests can play the game but interactive enough so that your guests can relax and have fun.
Can I host it without knowing who the murderer is?
Yes! All of our games follow flexible formats that allow them to be reused and played so that the host can be involved!
I run a hotel or business, is this game suitable for me to use for my guests?
This listing is designed to be played by the host, but we would love to make a bespoke option for your premises. Check out our bespoke listing option!
How does it work?
Send your guests their invitations along with their character information sheets. These have been designed to send via email or in a traditional print format. Don’t forget to include the basic information such as time, date, location, dress code etc.
Choose your format for the night. A three-act murder mystery works well throughout a dinner party or for a drinks reception. A dinner party menu can be developed to match the theme of the murder mystery. The game is more challenging when played as a drink reception, and a dinner party is a good format for first-time murder mystery hosts.
Give your guests a print out of their character booklet and get set for a great evening!!
