What Is a Murder Mystery Party?
A murder mystery party is an interactive game where every guest becomes part of a thrilling investigation. During the event players exchange information, follow leads and accuse each other of suspicious behaviour. The best part is seeing how dramatically different everyone's theories become as the mystery unfolds.
Google Review
★★★★★ East Pier and Sons Bought this game for my wife's 30th surprise birthday party. She had no idea what was happening but loved every second of the game. It was perfect timing since her birthday is just before Halloween. We did it up big. Everyone dressed their parts. There was one group who knew the killer in the second round but wasn't certain. Everyone kept walking around stealing info from other teams. You may not want to allow phones, though it was fun watching everyone try to be slick with hiding the fact that they were taking pictures. We can't wait to try it again with our customers.
