Murder Mystery Synopsis:
NASA scientists have made an official Doomsday announcement that an unexpected cluster of asteroids will strike Earth in only ten days. They predict this collision will lead to global mass devastation. The top astrophysicists have exhausted all efforts to prevent the disaster, and the outlook for Mother Earth is grim.
The vampire, sorcerer, and werewolf factions have formally announced their existence to the humans and have arranged a meeting to form an alliance and save the planet. The faction leaders believe, with their combined skills, they will be able to band together and stop this catastrophe. But that can only happen if this unprecedented gathering goes well.
The factions will gather in the French Quarter of New Orleans at Dauphine Place - a legendary house of horrors. This will be the first time that supernatural beings have met with humans. Will the alliance save the world? Or, will the apocalypse commence? This is where your story begins.

Long-time mystery party enthusiast, first-time using My Mystery Party
This was my first time using this company, previously I had mostly used a competitor. The instructions were helpful and explained everything well. The storyline kept everyone involved, and the night went well, without a hitch! This party included a factions minigame where you try to convert other players to your faction throughout the investigation. This was great fun, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! There was a downside in that the instructions for this were very long and a little confusing, so it took a while to explain to the guests, and many of them still didn't fully understand. Nevertheless, we loved the game, and I wish more mystery parties included plot-driven games like this!

Everyone had a blast!
We wanted to host a different kind of Halloween party, so we decided to try a murder mystery dinner night. Everything was sent for a successful evening! All details were well thought out. It was such a fun night! Everyone got right into character and acted their parts. Costumes were unbelievable! The decor consisted of skulls, cobwebs, eerie floating candles with color themes in black, white and purple (Definitely New Orleans style) I would recommend this game! The only disappointment was that it didn't conclude whether or not we saved the earth (which was the ultimate purpose of our gathering) Great night otherwise! We will purchase another game in the future! ------------------------------------ My Mystery Party: thank you for your valuable feedback. We have taken your advice and tightened up the story ending for this game. We always strive to improve and we are glad you had a blast!

Awesome Halloween themed party
This one was so much fun. We have more men that play so not many are happy playing female roles. Still, everyone enjoyed themselves.

One awesome party
Great time had by all. The costumes were phenomenal, the story was intriguing and everything went smoothly. Due to time constraints, we couldn't play the bonus games, but they looked like fun and we plan to play later.
