Murder Mystery Synopsis:
Dr. Larry Doom, heir to the Doom estate and a renowned chemist, has led a life mired in misery, lies, and deceit. After receiving troubling news from his doctor that he wasn't as healthy as he believed, he reflected on all the evil deeds he had committed against those closest to him. In a fit of regret, he pleaded with his niece, Miss Crimson, the only one still in his good graces, to host a dinner at Doom Mansion so he has a chance to reconcile with those he had wronged.
The guests will undoubtedly arrive at the mansion in style, anticipating an intriguing and mysterious evening. Dr. Doom has planned a glamorous night filled with sumptuous food, engaging conversations, exciting party games, and his long-awaited and highly anticipated apologies to everyone on the guest list.
You’ve received an invitation from Dr. Doom, who wishes to make amends. You hope the night holds nothing more than apologies. Dr. Doom isn’t known for his honesty, so you worry this could be a setup full of secrets, lies, and danger. This is where your story begins.

Highly recommend!
I purchased the downloadable pack for 10 guests. We had such a wonderful time. We normally have a big Halloween party every year, but with covid we wanted to something a little different. So we invited some family over had had a murder mystery dinner party. Everyone dressed up in their different character roles, we did the pregame task which got everyone excited. My sister told me it was the best Halloween she's ever had. It was a blast! I would definitely do it again!

First party
We threw our first murder mystery party, and it was more fun than we expected. We had 9 people and it turned out great! I downloaded and printed everything out and placed in envelopes (which you will need). Will be ordering again soon.

Highly Recommend for Fun....
This murder mystery dinner party was a blast. We ordered the extension package, so we had a complete total of 16 guests. I liked the fact that the main character, "Dr. Doom" was not an actual part, so no one had to "die" and everyone could actively participate. We all loved the write-ups at the end where each character revealed why they were not the murderer (but one). All the character parts were very interesting and everyone dressed up. I HIGHLY recommend some of the games. They provide a nice "break." We did the "Rapping" contest after round one and the dance contest after the final reveal. I don't know when we have all laughed so hard!! We drew names for partners which made it so much more interesting and fun.

Everyone Loved It!
We played this in our office for Halloween. I purchased it a week before and was able to get everything organized in time. It was easy to follow and we had a lot of great laughs. Everyone said they want it to be a Halloween tradition. Can't wait until we do it again!

A “Killer” Halloween Party!
First off, let me just say how hilariously named the characters are- basically knock off Clue, in the best way!!! The game instructions were very organized and concise, making my very first mystery party a breeze to host! You will be surprised by how immersed in character your guests will be! Everyone delivered their roles so well and we had the best time playing. Definitely a new Halloween tradition!!
