Your Murder Mystery Evening/Murder Mystery Dinner Party
You can run this lively, crime-solving entertainment in your own home or a venue of your own choosing. The plots are designed to work very well over a meal but can also be run on their own.
Each party guest’s invitation includes a brief description of their character to help them decide what to wear and to prepare for the party. We have some costume suggestions which provide further help with this.
Ahead of the event, you can plan where the “action” will take place and what food to serve (if it’s at home) or arrange this with your chosen venue. Because the plots are set in different historical periods, your food and drink choices can be made to match them.
As the guests arrive, the host/hostess gives them a character name badge and more information about who they are, what they know and what their character wants. Some have secrets to hide, others secrets to share. Everyone has plenty to talk about and plenty of other players to speak to. One person is, of course, the evil murderer.
The host/hostess relies on our downloadable step-by-step guide to make sure everything flows as it should. Best of all, running the game doesn’t mean you can’t get involved. Everyone has their own character to play.
Murder Mystery Games are Fun!
As your absorbing Murder Mystery Game unfolds, the guests enjoy the experience in different ways
Some focus on trying to solve the murder.
Others delight more in participating, playing a character and being dressed up.
The Murder Mystery Party Kit you download indicates when and how the clues are revealed and how to moderate the pace of the party and its denouement.
Some of the Happy Customers from our previous Murder Mystery Events
“I am just writing to say how wonderful an evening we had. The game was both well organised and easy to understand. Everyone concerned had a great evening and I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you and look forward to you putting more such games onto the internet for the public to enjoy.”
“Just to let you know, the party was FABULOUS!!! Everyone was so excited they all either rented costumes or made them. Everyone looked great and had the best time ever. We had a very original solution by one of our groups, it was excellent, not correct but amazing how they came up with what they did. A couple of other groups guessed the right answer. Whoever created this did an excellent job, we will definitely purchase another one in the future.””
“Everyone agreed this was a great evening and something totally different. The plot managed to include everyone and had twists and turns a plenty. They are also cleverly written to take into account a couple of last minute cancellations (there’s always someone!). Even the hostess doesn’t know till the end who committed the crime which means I was as confused as everyone else (nothing new there). A great night was had by all”
