Corporate Murder Mystery Party | Chaos in the Cubicles | Boxed Set

An exciting corporation-themed murder mystery party game held in a corporate setting for ages 15 and up due to difficulty and relatability with the office setting.  Multiple kit sizes are available, covering up to 300+ players. There are 8 required characters with Kit A and Kits B-J have 12 required players (see host character lists for details).  There are two required videos to play to push along the story. There are also two fun, team-building group challenges built into the mystery.

This is the boxed version - Party Ready Pack - the game materials will come to you, ready to go for your mystery party! 

Select the party ready (spoiler-free) option above, and our staff will fold and slip the clue cards for rounds one, two, and three into the envelopes to prevent you from seeing spoilers on the round cards.  If you do not select this option, you will have some assembly required with your kit. 

Please see the video below, at the bottom of the page, to view an example boxed mystery party kit.  The download version is a different product and does not come with the party pack, as they are not seamless and materials should not be used together.

Expandable team kits:

 Kits F-K: Will add the expandable team roles listed below. These kits (F-K) are offered in the following sizes: 70, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 by adding the eight expandable teams (duplicated non-suspect team roles).  See our FAQ for explanations of how the teams work (under the title OPTIONAL PLAYERS). 

The team members will be added as evenly as possible, given the number of team members in the kit. For example, in Kit F, which has 70 players total, there are the 48 unique character roles and an additional 22 team members (non-suspect players) put into teams of 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2. The expandable teams get the same type of materials as everyone else in the game, but they play as a team and are not suspects.
