Graphic - murder mystery game descriptionHOW OUR MURDER MYSTERY DINNER PARTY GAMES WORK:

Graphic - How our mystery dinner party games workIMPORTANT! PLEASE READ.

  • This type of murder mystery party game is geared towards groups of 20 or more.
  • You'll need to provide 6-8 people to play the primary suspects. They'll have full knowledge of the script, which means they'll know whodunit. **DON'T WANT YOUR PRIME SUSPECTS TO KNOW WHODUNIT? READ THIS.
  • The rest of your guests will take on the role of detective and it will be their job to actively solve the case by examining evidence, finding clues, following and questioning suspects - whatever it takes for them to solve the mystery.
  • Essentially, EVERYONE will have a crucial, interactive part in the mystery.
  • The whodunit will be about 1 1/2 to 2 hours long but you can make it shorter by tightening up the sequence of events or longer by allowing more time between the scenes/action.
  • Your prime suspects won't have to memorize a lot of dialogue but they will have to be familiar with a sequence of events or timeline that will move the mystery through the clues, the murder(s) and the solving of the crime. They'll have to carry out certain actions (like arguments) and suspicious activities to set themselves up as suspects.
  • All are mystery games are challenging to solve but they're also comedies - a great combination for an unforgettable event.
  • This will not be a stationary mystery - it will be action-packed; we get people active and involved unlike those mysteries-in-a-box where everyone just sits around reading their part and asking questions they get from a booklet.
  • DOWNLOAD A SCRIPT SAMPLE and watch our MOVIE to get a better idea of how our mysteries work.

Photo - A suspect in our murder mystery games**DON'T WANT YOUR SUSPECTS TO KNOW WHODUNIT? Add a narrator to your game. Have the narrator read the script as if telling a story. Your suspects will need to act out what he or she says. You'll give them their ONLY characters descriptions ahead of time but not the script itself. We're currently in the process of adding this option to all our mystery games so you'll soon have 2 versions available to you with purchase: Version 1 is our "know it all " version where the prime suspects know whodunit; Version 2 is our "narrator" version where they don't know whodunit. 2 options; one very low price.

MYSTERY GAMES CURRENTLY ADAPTED TO INCLUDE THE NARRATOR VERSION: Bordello of the Damned, Diary of a Burning Woman, Final Cut, Murder at the Midnight Hour, Murder on Maui, My Alma Martyr, Next of Kin, The Mafia Murders and Vintage Murder. Not available on all games at this time. We're slowly adapting all our mysteries but we aren't there yet!

Because we haven't yet adapted ALL our mysteries to include the narrator version of the game, we've lowered the prices of those we haven't gotten to yet from $24.95 to $21.95. Not yet adapted: A Deadly Incentive, Rushmore's Revenge, The Demise of the Downhome Dealers, Spies Like Us, Thirst For Blood and What Happened to Sam Disney?

We did "Murder on Maui" last year and everyone had such a good time, they wanted to do it again this year. With all of the added information that you send with the script, the group thinks I am a genius, even though I give you the credit! Thanks again, Pepi Parshall, Satisfied Customer

Photo - old west bordello mystery gameCan’t decide on a theme? Download script samples of any mystery game and show these choices to your cast of primary suspects. Whichever script excites them the most is the one you should do. If they’re enthusiastic about the theme and the characters, you’re half way home to a great mystery evening. More helpful hints.

Editing/changing a mystery: All mysteries can be edited for content so long as you maintain a motive for murder for each of the suspects. If you have ANY questions please contact us.

Adapting a storyline for a special occasion: Is it someone’s birthday?  Anniversary?  Tweak the storyline so it’s a celebration for them (don’t forget to adapt the program included with the game).  How memorable will that be?  An evening full of fun and zaniness not to mention wild characters and a murder or two.  An unforgettable celebration to be sure. 

Graphic - murder mystery game playersNUMBER OF PLAYERS: Due to the interactive nature of the mysteries, they are best suited for groups of 20 to 125 guests. Why?

Graphic - murder mystery games lengthLENGTH OF MYSTERY: Approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Graphic - murder mystery games prep timePRE-EVENT PREP TIME: Anything and everything that can be downloaded is included with this game. You can prep the mystery in an hour or two. You’ll need to print programs and other such documents, shop for small items (like a fake knife or other possible murder weapon) and organize the props (clues, etc.) and supplies but it’s all very simple to do. I do recommend however that you give your primary suspects about 2 weeks to get familiar with the script and to prepare their character. It takes at least one read through to get everyone (the suspects) straight. I'd also recommend that you all watch my little murder mystery movie to get a "visual".  (By the way, that's your game designer, Susan Haley, lifting her skirts as Savannah Sugarbaker).   Set a time to get together, perhaps add some food and drink to the "rehearsal", and just TALK through the script. Don't have everyone read it word for word - it won't help anyone really understand what's happening and it's pretty boring. I've always found that if you all talk through the action/sequence as your character, it helps loosen things up, people start finding the humor in their character and they get a better understanding of the whole picture. It's informal and relaxed - two things you need to alleviate some of the actors' nervousness. More helpful hints.

"Murder at the Midnight Hour" was a smashing hit. Our community has been hard hit by downsizing of the textile industry. This night made some folks laugh and escape their problems for about two hours. Something they had not done for a long time. I thank you for the script and plan on selecting another to perform in the months ahead. Eric Tyler, Alexander City, AL More testimonials.
