A Sampling from the Introduction:

“Welcome to all of our lovely guests.

The year is 1920, we are two years past the ending of the brutal World War and people finally feel free to live their lives again. Prohibition takes over the United States, leaving the hangovers to the creative. Rebellion is brought out among the people, creating a love of Jazz music, flappers, and dancing. Organized Crime runs rampant and the Mafia is on the rise. The streets are filled with moonshine, bootleggers, gangsters, and, dare I say it, Murder.

Welcome to our 1920s Speakeasy Murder Mystery. While most of you are among the rich and the famous, there are quite a few who dabble among the conniving and the desperate. There are rich histories to be learned and scandalous secrets to be discovered. We had high hopes that tonight would go off without a hitch, but, given the morally ambiguous nature of our guest list, we understand why that simply could not be the case.

With that being said, at the end of the night, three of you will be dead.

All of my stories are completely original to our company, guaranteeing a unique experience! We also generally have one murderer and three murder victims (depending on the size of the party) to keep as many players involved as possible.

We do also utilize a more flexible party style. Most of our parties are not scripted (unless they are over Zoom). We find that giving your guests enough information about their character really allows them to play their role however they'd like to without being limited to what a script says. While it's easy to incorporate these parties into a sit-down dinner, it's best to make sure that there is plenty of room for mixing, mingling, and laughter.

No! Each party is organized in a way where you only find out who the murderer is at the very end, in the "Conclusion/Reveal" Section of the Instructions. If the host wishes, they can simply choose not to read ahead and be surprised like everyone else!

The Host will also get their own character, truly allowing them to enjoy the evening.

Our stories utilize Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Characters. Primary Characters are essential to the story line, they may be the Murderer, one of the Victims, or included in crucial pieces of evidence. Secondary Characters still have fun individual roles to play but they are non essential to the story, so if they can't make it, the show will still go on! Tertiary Characters are the same as Secondary with the exception that they may mention a Secondary Character so will need to assigned last.

Depending on the character count, each story will have a mix of Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Characters and this will create the Player Count for that particular story. For example, parties marked as 10-20 players will have 10 Primary and 10 Se

Included in each party, you'll find a "Suggested Timeline". Generally, parties will take between 1.5-2 hours to run depending on your guest count as well as how talkative your group is, but it can be flexible.

You can feel free to space out the murders/prop reveals or compress them into a shorter time frame if that works better for you. The flexibility in the timeline also allows for you to add in some things of your own if you'd like to, like a dinner or a dance!

We're constantly trying to improve our shop and value feedback of all types! Murders Inc. is operated primarily by the Owner Chelsea. She is the main Writer, Designer, Editor, Marketer, and Creator. This means that (while she constantly strives to make everything perfect) if something slips through the cracks, we definitely want to know so that it can fixed immediately.

Reviews are extremely important to us and if there are any issues whatsoever, please feel free to contact us prior to leaving a review! We're always more than willing to make things right by the customer and our top priority is making your party to die for!

Zoom parties are specifically designed to be playable across any video platform. They differ from the standard parties in a few ways:

1. Each Character will have their own Character Folder (digital), that you can email to your guests directly.

2. Each guest will get a Flip-Through Packet that they can easily follow along with as the host guides the evening.

3. Each round has scripted questions for your guests. This way, it is less hectic to control things via a video platform
