Our story

During lockdown, Jess' virtual murder mystery parties became a mainstay among her friends—Amber included. With a shared love for creative writing and murder mysteries, they quickly formed the devious duo behind Nobody’s Fool.

Where it started

After a few rounds of hosting murder mystery parties, Jess Hennessy began to feel frustrated with what the market offered: games were often confusing, ridden with plotholes, and difficult to host. Luckily, there was a budding horror novelist in her mist: Amber Boothe. With her first draft for a horror novel receiving the Owned Voices award, Amber’s creative talent became the perfect addition to Jess’ appreciation for seamless hosting, and Nobody’s Fool was born: easy to host, and delightfully devilish to solve.

Where it’s going

Amber and Jess completed the Roundhouse Accelerator Program in 2023. Walking away with a business plan and some welcome prize money, there are exciting growth plans on the horizon for Nobody’s Fool. Watch this space.
