★★★★★ 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
A big thank you to your amazing product! I used it for my 18th birthday party and did not get one complaint. Everyone agreed that it was much better than a regular party and we all had a blast. We bought the download version of the Hollywood pack for 15 people and had fun trying to figure out what events led up to the murder. I really enjoyed the night and so did the guests. I would absolutely do another murder mystery in the future. Many thanks, Mana.
