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 willing to take part in the mystery as the primary suspects, victim(s), detective and killer (see mystery game choices). They'll have full knowledge of the script, which means they'll know whodunit**
  • 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 guest actors 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 (*see game sample). 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.

**PLEASE NOTE: If you don't want your prime suspects to know whodunit you can 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 characters descriptions ahead of time but not the script itself.

COMING SOON...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. This option is now available for The Special Ones Kids' Mystery Game, Diary of a Burning Woman,Murder At The Midnight Hour, Murder on Maui and Next of Kin and we're slowly making our way through all our mystery games.

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 video on my web site at www.haleyproductions.com/movie.html 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.
