How does a murder mystery party work?

Our murder mystery party pack contains everything you need to run a fabulous murder mystery party.

• Organise a murder mystery party in 3 steps!
  • Step 1 Plan your murder mystery party
  • Step 2 Order your murder mystery game on this site
  • Step 3 Host the game yourself or hire a Canadian murder mystery host from this site

• Once you get your download you have 2 choices:
  • 1)DIY - Your murder mystery game is a do-it-yourself murder party kit so you, a friend or family member can be the killer host. Hosting your party keeps the cost low and is lots of fun.
  • 2)Hire a host - Click hire a murder mystery actor for hosts in your area of Canada. Hosts bring their experience to the night and make your job easier.

No! They play the game just like all the other guests.

With our Dinner Edition games yes. With the Premium Edition games the host will be a dedicated role and busy helping everyone have fun. So the host doesn't get directly involved in solving the murder.

Download games are for 4 to 8, 2 to 15, 2 to 60, 2 to 120 or 120 to 300 people.

Most murder mysteries run for 2 to 3 hours. Smaller groups will be closer to 2 hours and larger groups closer to 3 hours.

Yes and no. Instead of burdening a guest with a scripted role, each attendee will be assigned a character at the party, alleviating unnecessary pressure. This approach ensures that last-minute cancellations or additions won't disrupt the organization of your murder mystery party. Our games employ amusing character names and rely on clues rather than scripts. Extensive research indicates that guests greatly prefer this approach. When contemplating how to host a murder, simply instruct your guests to dress up and leave their character assignment for the murder mystery party itself.

We don't recommend it. While you have the freedom to choose any approach you prefer, it's worth noting that individuals often enjoy anticipating and getting excited about events. Based on our experience, murder mysteries tend to be more engaging and enjoyable when participants dress up and embrace the interactive nature of the experience. Therefore, it is beneficial for attendees to be aware in advance that they will be attending a murder mystery party, allowing them to prepare and heighten their excitement for the event.

To ensure a smooth flow of events at a surprise birthday party, it is advisable for the host to arrive after the surprise has taken place. Typically, after the surprise moment, the birthday celebrant spends approximately 45 minutes mingling and conversing with the guests. This can delay the start of the actual party. By having the host arrive around 7:30 PM if the surprise occurs at 7 PM, they can use this time to set up and prepare while the birthday boy/girl completes their greetings. This way, the host avoids a prolonged period of inactivity if they were to arrive before the surprise. Additionally, it is recommended not to surprise your work colleagues at a murder mystery party. Informing them about the planned celebration in advance allows them to anticipate and enjoy the event to a greater extent.

While costumes are not mandatory, they add an element of fun and enhance the overall enjoyment of your guests. Dressing up in costumes or elegant attire can significantly contribute to a more memorable experience. Your guests are welcome to wear any costume of their choice, regardless of the character name badge they receive.

Certainly! While not essential, many individuals enjoy "setting the scene" with decorations. Adding decorative elements can enhance the overall ambiance and make the night even more enjoyable for everyone involved.

Due to the interactive and engaging nature of murder mysteries, it is crucial to have a spacious and quiet venue. This provides ample room for your guests to participate in the games and enjoy various entertaining and lighthearted activities.

• You can hold a murder mystery at home or in a function venue. Try any venue which:
  • Totally private i.e.: not a restaurant with other people.
  • Is really quiet i.e. no bands, piped music or DJ's next door. Your guests need to be able to hear.
  • Has plenty of room to move and mingle. Imagine all your guests standing in a big circle.
  • You need one central area big enough for all your players at one time.

Yes. Finger food and platters are highly suitable for serving during a murder mystery event. If you prefer to have a complete meal, we urge you to consider playing the game either before or after dinner for the best experience.

• You have great choices:
  • Our "Redneck Bride and the Billionaire" theme is set at a redneck wedding and is perfect.
  • Our "Hollywood Scandal" theme has non gender specific characters that could be boys or girls with names like "The Star" and "The Producer".
  • Our "Wild West" theme involves a wedding and a baby swap and is perfect for a Hen's Night (some guests will be boys but this is really fun!)

Yes! Generating entertaining ideas for a large group, particularly a gathering of teenagers, can be challenging. However, interactive games and puzzle-solving activities tend to be popular among most individuals. If you find yourself tasked with entertaining a sizable group of teenagers, a murder mystery game party could be an ideal choice. It serves as an excellent game option for events like sleepovers or birthday parties. To further enhance the experience, guests can dress up in costumes that reflect the era portrayed in the murder mystery game. Playing music from that era and even watching movies from that time period after the mystery is solved can add to the immersive atmosphere. For teenage girls seeking a more glamorous experience, the Hollywood Scandal edition of the murder mystery game is highly recommended. Guests can dress up as their favorite Hollywood stars, walk the red carpet, and thoroughly enjoy portraying their assigned characters during the game. This edition is perfect for slumber parties or simply for having fun with friends.

If you are worried about adult themes, our game pages tell you what is included.

To fully engage in a murder mystery game, participants should possess confident reading skills, so we suggest a minimum age of 11 and up. Concerns may arise among parents and other adults regarding the appropriateness of murder mystery games for children under 18. However, our games labelled as "teenage games" are devoid of adult themes, making them suitable for all age groups. Additionally, we offer non-murder children's games as alternatives. While our murder mystery games involve theatrical murders, they do not include any graphic violence or gore. They provide an enjoyable experience for children and teenagers who appreciate interactive games and the thrill of solving puzzles.

Absolutely! Many groups use one of our packs and run the fundraising party themselves. They charge $15CAD to $20CAD per person for nibbles and the mystery.

Yes! Your guests can choose their level of participation but joining in is easy and doesn't require acting.
