'60s Murder Mystery Party
A hilarious and light-hearted 1960s Murder Mystery Party for 8 to 12 players in the main game, ages 17+ for relatability and difficulty (see additional details below for more details)! There are two expansion packs available (purchased separately) that add more suspects (see the breakdown for how to host a large party below).
This is the instant download upon purchase version of the game - no waiting, no shipping fees, as nothing needs to be shipped! You will have everything needed to play with the game file. Easy to host, easy to prepare.
There are multiple PDF files to download with this game - a host instruction file, printable file, solution key, and the optional invitation (free, available via download below). You must use Adobe Reader (free software that you can download at Adobe.com) to view the PDF, as a PDF is an Adobe product or you will face problems with the PDF files, as PDF files are Adobe products.
Format: this is a traditional, mingling, clue-based game (downloadable version) for in-person groups. For virtually-formatted games that are ideal for video chat platforms, click here.
Gifting: the standard game license does not allow transfers, so you cannot purchase a download as a gift. For gifts, click here for gift certificates, or use the link below for the boxed version of the game (party pack).

Peace Love and Murder 60's
Oh my gosh! This was my second murder party and let me tell you we all really got into it. Everyone dressed up and I of course had appetizers, dinner and dessert. The evening was full of role playing and they really did a great job acting. I got creative with making all the props including a VW Bus for photos. This was everyone's second party and we all just loved the heck out of it. Now they are asking me what are we doing this year? Thank you so much!
