Dinner Party
Megan on her Murder in Manhattan dinner party
“The party was so much fun. The mystery was just hard enough that it was challenging but not impossible. There was never a lull in conversation or the game the entire night. We got great feedback from our guests and have already decided this will be an annual event!”
Book Club Party
LeAnn on her Mardi Gras, Masks, Murder! club party
“My book club got together for a night of fun. There were 12 of us and we had a hoot! Everyone was great about keeping in character and mingling. We went all out with decorations and did a scavenger hunt to find clues in second act. We had a blast and would do another party in a minute.”
Family Reunion
Jen on her Malachai Stout's Family Reunion party
“We DEFINITELY Enjoyed it! We had 75 people at the Reunion. Everyone got really into it. I really liked your packet, it was simple and easy to use. Our people ad libbed and really made it fun. I would definitely recommend this one for other families.”

Murder Mystery Party Description
What is a Murder Mystery Party?
A murder mystery party is an event where guests play the suspects in a mysterious crime, taking directions from the host and working together to uncover clues and solve the mystery as a group.
Playing With Murder's mystery party games come as downloadable PDF kits that include scripts, character sheets, printable clues and everything else you need to host a mystery party. Perfect for dinner parties!
Mystery party games provide a great excuse to get a group of creative friends together for fun! Just pick a mystery game, plan your guest list, schedule a date, then use your kit to run the party.
Why Choose a Murder Mystery Party?
With all of today’s varied entertainment options, you may ask why someone would throw a mystery party. Why set up an elaborate, pre-staged murder scene when you could instead invite a group of friends over for a simple meal and a movie or go to the theater instead? The answer, of course, is to create a night to remember!
A Unique Experience
A well-written mystery party incorporates elements of novelty and interactivity that are hard to find in other entertainment activities. Instead of being audience members, you and your guests will take on the roles of killers, criminals, spies, detectives and suspects. You will examine the clues and evidence presented and conduct your own investigation into the nature of the events leading up to the crime and the identity of the murderer. You and your guests become the actors in your own thrilling tale of treachery, deceit and death!
Memories for a Lifetime
A successful dinner party may linger in your guests’ memories for a few weeks at best, but a murder mystery party that includes carefully crafted scenes, dress descriptions, role-playing tips, personalized invitations and awards for your guests, and numerous extra activities and mini-games for the players, is certain to be one of the most memorable events to which your guests have ever been invited!
We Make Hosting Easy
And best of all, our company is committed to making it easy for you! At Playing With Murder we make it our business to ensure that all our party scripts are professionally designed and extensively play tested to provide all the features necessary for creating a social event suitable for any occasion: dinner parties, birthdays, corporate retreats, company team building exercises, school problem-solving lessons or just for an awesome get-together that will be enjoyed and remembered by all!
Parties for Every Occasion
Whether you are on a budget and want a simple, unique way to entertain your friends, or if you want to devote an entire weekend to a lavish party where your guests spend hours unraveling the dark details of the plot until the grand conclusion is revealed, Playing With Murder has a party for you.
