What is a murder mystery party?
A murder mystery party is a social dinner game where each guest plays a character at the scene of a crime, and the group works through the evidence to uncover who the killer is. Our games are built on famous real historical cases: you reopen the file, examine the scene, question each other, and name the killer the world once tried to. It runs from any screen with private roles sent to each guest's phone, so there's no prep, no printing, and no host experience needed.
How do you host a murder mystery party?
Pick a case, add your guests, and we assign each a character with a costume note. Send the invitations, then on the night open your host controls to deal the secret dossiers and play through the evidence to a final accusation. No prep and no acting experience needed.
What comes in a murder mystery kit?
Every game includes a private character dossier for each guest, a costume guide, a host booklet, and the full case played from the app on any screen, with evidence, clues and the reveal. It's instant and digital, so you can start the night you buy.
How long does a murder mystery game last?
Most party games run about 2 to 3 hours including dinner and the accusation. The two-player Be the Detective cases run 60 to 90 minutes.
How many people do you need for a murder mystery party?
Our party games play best with 6 to 12 guests, and Be the Detective is built for two. Extra guests can join as observers.
Are the cases based on real murders?
Yes. Every case is built on a famous real historical crime. You reopen the file, work the real evidence, and name the killer the world once tried to.
