Have you got what it takes to solve the murder, achieve your goals and keep your guilty secrets hidden from everyone else? It's up to you!

Our murder mystery games put you in the middle of the action. We don't give you a predetermined script to read out, we don't drip feed your background to you - we don't even know how the game will end.

That's up to you.

But we do give you your detailed character background in advance. We give you goals and contacts - and secrets. You might have a secret identity, you might be rich, you might be poor - you might even be the murderer (we'll tell you up front if you are). We even give you ways of finding out other players' secrets - just so you can blackmail them.

You will decide who to talk to, who to trust - and who to betray.

You may know who your friends are. Or you may only think you know who your friends are. You won't know until the chips are down.

As the lights go off and someone falls down dead, a murder will be committed!

At this time, the guests will receive another envelope with more objectives to complete and secrets to keep. Some envelopes will also contain evidence for the crime and one envelope will contain the secret that that guest is the murderer! (The murderer will find out that they are the murderer at this point.) These objectives will help the guests reveal more information about the murder in question, some evidence and possible motives each character may have.

While trying to maintain their own innocence, each guest will be instructed to conduct their own investigation into the crime using their second set of objectives and the knowledge they have previously gained in order to guide them. One guest, the investigator at the party, will be in charge of officially collecting the evidence and presenting it to the group. (More instructions will be given to this character.)

Our Murder Mystery Games provide a unique and memorable party experience. Whether you are hosting a dinner party, social event, theme night, or just getting together with friends, our games provide the perfect ice breaker. Even strangers will be talking, laughing and scheming like the best of friends in no time. 

There are no scripts to read, with the exception of the Evidence Presentation and the Solution. Our interactive mingle format allows more intimacy between guests. You become a part of the mystery, instead of feeling like you are just sitting around a table reading cards and playing a game. No more dreaded party lulls! Be prepared to discover how cunning your friends REALLY

Unlike scripted games, your guests are allowed to determine their own fate. How will they handle their enemies? How will they achieve their goals and desires? Their decisions will have consequences! Our parties are not just about solving the murder. You will find that your guests all have their own agendas!
are!

Murder Mysteries?

Why include murder mystery information? As this site is just starting out, I'm including information for friends who I do regular murder mystery parties with.
This will likely be moved to either a subdomain, or registered user only areas.  For now, it's available for anyone visiting the site to see.
