What is a murder mystery party?
A murder mystery party typically brings 8-30+ friends together to solve a whodunnit style mystery, each guest playing a character that could ultimately be the game’s killer (or victim). They are typically theme parties where the venue is decorated and guests outfitted in the proper attire for the plot’s time and place. These games are great for birthday parties, corporate parties, fundraising events, school parties, and of course – game night!
