How many people can play?

Our Murder Mystery Party games are designed to be played by 5-40 people. However, there is no limit to how many people can play along. Even if a guest is not assigned a unique ‘character’, they can still play along by asking questions and gathering clues.

Can the organiser play?

Yes! If you are organising your event, you can absolutely play. Our games are designed so that everyone (including the organiser) only finds out who the murderer is at the very end. The ‘Big Reveal’ is an audio or video file, so there is no risk that anyone will accidentally see who the murderer is.

What type of Murder Mystery Party is this?

All of our games are Interactive Mysteries where players uncover clues by questioning their fellow guests. This type of social deduction game means players are totally free to investigate the mystery in their own way and at their own pace.

Are the games beginner friendly?

Yes! Even our moderate to challenging games are ideal for brand new players as well as experienced sleuths! New (and perhaps nervous) players don’t have to read out scripted lines or perform silly tasks. How much or little a player wants to roleplay as their character is entirely up to them!

Do your games pair well with food and drinks?

Because players are the suspects, our games are highly interactive. This makes them a great choice to pair with canapes and cocktails or *before* a meal - they will provide a lot to talk about during dinner! We actively don’t recommend playing our games *during* a sit-down meal as players will be moving around and interrogating their fellow suspects.

How long does it take to play?

Our mysteries are designed to last between 1 hour and 2 1/2 hours, depending on the number of players.

Can you play a game more than once?

No. Our mysteries are ‘one shot’ games that are carefully constructed so that the murderer is the only character with the means, motivation and opportunity to have committed the crime. This ensures our games feature high drama, devious twists and BIG reveals!

Can you play virtually via video chat?

Yes! All of our mysteries work great as virtual parties.

Do you give content warnings?

Yes! Every game comes with a list of highlighted themes such as Murder, Violence and Illegal Substances.

The following themes are never featured: Child Abuse, Suicide, Self-Harm, Miscarriage & Infant Loss, Sexual Assault, Homophobia, Racism, Ableism & Real-Life Tragedies. While players are free to bring their own ideas and experiences to their game, these themes are never the intended interpretation.
