What Is a Murder Mystery Party?
A murder mystery party is a memorable social event where your guests become the stars of their own mystery story. Throughout the game they investigate clues, question suspects and attempt to uncover hidden secrets. By the end everyone is comparing theories and discussing what they should have noticed earlier.

★★★★★ David Elliott The game was excellent. We have 4 couples who go away for a weekend together once a year. We are all in our 60s and always looking for fun things to do. We all got dressed up in the 1920s gear and played the parts of the Tracey game. What a night it was, everyone enjoyed the experience. Thank you so much.

Customer Testimonial
The games are great, I ordered both a box and an online version. Our host Robyn was fantastic and kept a bunch of 16 years olds entertained for 3 hours (best money I have ever spent LOL) and everything ran smoothly. I think having a host was the key. Bronwyn Kennedy
