A hilarious St. Patrick’s Day murder mystery party game set during the annual celebration at Patty O’Brian’s Pub in Dublin. This lively Irish-pub mystery is packed with pop stars, athletes, television personalities, artists, neighborhood gossips, outrageous grudges, suspicious secrets, simmering feuds, festive entertainment, and murder at Dublin’s most anticipated annual celebration.

Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:

Patty O’Brian’s Pub sits in the heart of Dublin and is famous for hosting celebrations worth discussing long after the final glass has been cleared. The pub’s highly anticipated annual St. Patrick’s Day bash is drawing near, and the town’s most prominent, beloved, and trendy residents are preparing to enjoy festive entertainment, delicious Irish offerings, spirited conversation, and enough green attire to make a leprechaun feel underdressed.

Unfortunately, the past year has been plagued by scandals, feuds, betrayals, and increasingly outrageous behavior. Former friends have become bitter rivals, mild-mannered townsfolk have revealed ruthless streaks, and several guests are carrying secrets they would do almost anything to protect. Pub management expects everyone to set aside their differences for one enjoyable evening, but peace may be asking far too much from this crowd.

You have secured your ticket to the celebration and are preparing to mingle with Dublin’s most unforgettable personalities. This is where your story begins.

Host a Large Group Game:
  • Main Game: 15 unique suspect characters
    • Includes 2 optional expandable teams:
      • Flanagan Sheehan’s Midnight Heroes.
      • Riley O’Keefe’s Dublin Greasers.
    • Each expandable team may include up to 30 duplicate, gender-flexible, non-suspect roles.
  • Expansion Pack #1: 8 additional unique suspect characters
    • Sold separately.
    • The expansion characters may be added in any number or combination with the optional main-game roles.
    • It is best to assign the unique expansion suspects before adding large expandable teams.

All 23 suspect roles are unique characters. The 2 expandable teams use duplicate, non-suspect roles and may include up to 30 players each, allowing the complete game to accommodate up to 83 players.

This Murder Mystery Party was Fun!

We asked everyone to wear green and bring a dish to share. We had 20 people, and everyone participated. The directions, website, and YouTube videos were a big help. The party was a lot of fun and everyone said that they really enjoyed it. It was a great change of pace!

GREAT TIME!

We had 20 playing that were assigned characters (we purchased the expansion pack).
We had 8 additional adults/teens that didn't want to play but wanted to watch. We also had several children present that we let dress up as members of the Midnight Heros, Dublin Greasers, or Riverdance Dance Crew (The Crazy Clovers - lead by non other than the legendary Murphy O'Sullivan). At first, we were a bit concerned because of the # of people playing. We've done a couple of smaller (10) mystery parties by other companies in the past, and they were a bit chaotic and hard to follow. This one was laid out wonderfully. The directions were very easy to follow. I did the download and print package. The pre-game activities really helped get everyone excited. I loved that we were all able to mingle about as we would at a real party. We decorated the house to look like a pub, and I made a Paddy O'Brian's sign to put at the entrance to our house. I was impressed at how well everyone stayed in character throughout the night. They would even request a couple of extra minutes between rounds to "go ask another question" of another character. We actually ate while everyone walked around and talked during the first round. That worked well for us. If you want to take lots of pics and video, I wouldn't suggest playing a character. It's hard to focus on both.
This was a great product, and we will defintely be using this site again.

Great night

We were 10 people and it was everybody’s first time doing a Murder Mystery. As the host, I also played along. It was a great game and very easy to follow. Half of the group guessed who the Murderer was. We all had fun!!
