This is our 3rd murder mystery party I’ve hosted using this company and theirs are above the rest. I love how easy the game is so assemble and it’s much more interactive than others. We will definitely use again!
We had a blast with this mystery party!!
I liked the attention to detail. It was a complete production with good instruction. I liked the choices of add on and the ability to have alternates that don’t effect the outcome. I look forward to playing it.
There were 10 of us-we are a supper group that meets routinely and I decided to trying something different-the murder mystery-everyone got into-came dressed up and we had a blast. I did it short notice/decided and ordered on a Tuesday and dinner party on the Saturday. It was fantastic! Easy to follow-props we’re easy to do-fun had by all!
