I am terrifically impressed by the detail in your murder mystery dinner party game. It must be so wonderful to make this type of program into a career. I could have looked forever for something this good and never found it. Isn't the internet wonderful? Cheryl Melvin, Spring Lake, Michigan. More
HOW
OUR MURDER MYSTERY DINNER PARTY GAMES WORK:
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ.
- Our murder mystery party games are for large groups (20 to about 125 or so). They will not work for just 8 people like the boxed games.
- Depending on which mystery game you select, you'll need to provide 6-8 people to play the primary suspects. Most of our mysteries provide you with 2 versions of the mystery: The Know It All Version (where the suspects will know whodunit) and the Narrator Version (where you'll add a narrator to narrate the mystery while the prime suspects act it out. They will not need to know whodunit in this version).
- 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 game. No one will be bored or feel left out. Take a look at our little movie to see what we mean.

WE STRONGLY
ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ A SCRIPT SAMPLE BEFORE PURCHASING TO MAKE SURE
IT WILL SUIT YOUR NEEDS.
A
Deadly Incentive: Seamus O'Malley
hires a public relations firm to help him put his cherished yet failing
pub back in the black. *You can put this in any era you choose.
Great choice for St. Patrick’s Day. Only $24.95.
Bordello
Of The Damned: Circa
1880. The Old West at its best! Y’all
are invited to Miss Iggy’s, the best little whorehouse in Deadwood
- or shall we say the deadliest? *You can put this in any era
you choose. Note: You can change the name of this mystery to Dead in Deadwood AND you can have it be a dance hall & saloon instead of a bordello. The girls then become can-can girls and nickel a dance girls. Only $24.95.
Diary
Of A Burning Woman: Ebenezer Pennypincher is visited by a ghost
who has a story to tell and a mystery to solve. *You can put
this in any era you choose. We like the turn of the century.
For your holiday party it becomes The Ghost Of Christmas Past but
this script is adaptable to anytime of the year. Only $24.95.
Final
Cut: Director Eddie Cheek is looking for backers for his
new movie so he’s throwing a gala shindig for interested
parties. Includes
auditions for your guests! *You can put this in any era you
choose. Great choice for an “Academy Awards” party. Only $24.95.
Murder
At The Midnight Hour: Circa 1969. Going to the chapel and we’re
gonna get murdered, uh, sorry, married... Hippies and wealthy snobs
just don’t mix! Great choice for a wedding party dinner. *This
script has been translated into Italian by a customer in Italy.
Please email
us if you'd like the Italian version. Only $24.95.
Murder
On Maui: Our luau murder mystery. You’re invited to
one of Harold Logan’s
(in)famous luaus and a fundraiser for HAAL, The
Hawaiian Association of Authentic Leis. *You can put
this in any era you choose. Great choice for a pool party. Only $24.95.
My
Alma Martyr: Celebrate if you dare with Opossum State College’s
Class of 1938 (or whatever year you choose). This reunion won’t be boring but you know it
will be deadly. Do you dare attend? Only $24.95.
Next
of Kin: "Big Daddy" Sugarbaker, wealthy Southern
patriarch, must decide
which of his worthless, underhanded, crazy kin will inherit his
vast estate. *You can put this in any era you choose. Great
choice for any sort of family gathering. EASY
FOR FIRST TIMERS. EVERYONE HAS THE SAME MOTIVE: THEY ALL
WANT DADDY’S MONEY. Only $24.95.
Take a look at this commercial for the Next Of Kin murder mystery. Dorothy deBakker of the Holy Redeemer Parish played it at the end of Mass to get people's interest up for the murder mystery dinner they were having. The video was fun to do and the congregation laughed pretty hard just seeing their fellow parishioners dressed up!
The
Mafia Murders: Circa 1920’s. Someone in the family is
out to destroy the Godfather. So much for loyalty to "da boss". Only $24.95.
Thirst
For Blood (alternate
title: The Mystery of Devil's Gulch): Devil's Gulch
is cursed which makes its annual Halloween costume party doomed. *You
can put this in any era you choose - we like the turn of the
century. You can also do this one anytime of the year by changing
the party to The Annual Groundhog Day Gala or The Annual Turnip
Festival Gala, etc. Only $24.95.
Vintage
Murder: An historical winery is forced to go up for sale (due
to the death of the owner) and 6 people - some wine lovers, some
not - would kill to get their hands on it. *You can put this
in any era you choose. Only $24.95.
The following games DO NOT INCLUDE a Narrator version of the game! They only include the Know It All version.
The
Demise Of The Downhome Dealers: Major Country and Western stars
Dixie Diver and the Downhome Dealers have come home to Mossy Bottom,
Texas to announce the signing of their new contract with Good Ole
Boys Records. No singing required (unless you want to). *You
can put this in any era you choose. Keep it in modern day or
have it take place in the early 1940’s (Depression era) - think “O
Brother, Where Art Thou”, the movie starring George Clooney. Only $21.95.
Rushmore’s
Revenge: A social for the 1979 graduating class of Rushmore’s
Beauty Academy for Women. All female cast. We
love to make the women English or Southern. Perfect for that all-girls
party or for guys that like to dress in drag. Only $21.95.
Spies
Like Us: Our tribute to science fiction. Dr. Ernest Terrence
Mars (but you can call him E.T.) is a renowned scientist and an
expert in the field of alien research. His flu eradication drug
will be the talk of the medical world after he completes Phase
2 of the testing. You and your guests are alleged "Phase 2 test subjects". *Modern day. Only $21.95.
What
Happened To Sam Disney? Gotham City has a mysterious benefactor.
Or they did. Now he’s gone missing and it’s up to you
to find him! Only $21.95.
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
Can’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.

"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.
