I wanted to do something special for my 30th birthday. After researching online I found your site, booked a host and selected the Hollywood game. The host made the night run very easily and it was a great theme for guests to get into. The instructions were very clear and the game ran for two to three hours.

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.
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.

A typical murder mystery party lasts between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the game format, number of players, and how quickly guests engage with the mystery. Smaller groups often finish closer to 2 hours, while larger groups may take up to 3 hours as more players interact and share clues.

You need the game materials (digital or physical), a group of players, a space to host the event, and optional extras like themed decorations, costumes, and food to enhance the experience.
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 if I have an odd number of guests or last-minute dropouts?
Our games are super flexible and allow characters to be removed or reassigned easily so the game can continue even if a player drops out. You will never need to worry about last minute cancellations.

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.
