Find the Spy Before you Die mystery party
Find the Spy! First of its kind - it's a unique experience! How about a fun night of mystery (non-murder) where your guests are 'locked in a room' and given exciting challenges of working as a team, intellectual strength, and physical agility - all competing for secret clues each round to the saboteur's identity. Your guests will have a blast with exciting rounds of sleuthing clues and challenges while they attempt to figure out who the spy is among them and why they were invited to this exclusive dinner party. Great challenge for any group - churches, schools, corporate events or a fun night with friends & family! Ages 14+ for difficulty - non-murder in-person challenge-based mystery party for 8-12 players with a 6 player expansion pack available (purchased separately).
This is a challenge-based mystery party - not as much of a roleplaying experience as the traditional mystery parties, but more focused on three rounds of challenges to find the mole among the group. Mingling with clues is secondary to the challenges. The title is just being cheeky - nobody dies in this game. Mr. Peabody has an announcement at the start where he 'eludes' that nobody will get out if they don't find the saboteur, but this statement doesn't have to be said by the host when making that announcement.
This is the instant download version of the game. No waiting, no shipping fees! Everything you need to play is included in the PDF file - just print, prepare and play! For the party ready pack version (boxed kit), see the link below under the Helpful Links section.

Note: this game does not have a victim sign or a forensic report because it is a unique, non-murder mystery party game. The host will be provided with 3 challenges each round (9 total) and you are required to host one per round. The remaining games can be played after the mystery is over. With some of the bonus game options, some regular household items or other props (i.e. balloons, marshmallows) may be required. However, the game can be played with what is included in the printed and prepared download.
Mystery Synopsis:
Dr. Percy Peabody has invited you to his mansion in Dead Hollow for a VIP dining experience.

Fun time!
We are a family of 4 (2 adults/2 teens) and played with another family of 6 (2 adults/2teens2kids). It was a lot of fun. The adults and teens were the required 8 characters and it was wonderful to have gender neutral names and also optional characters we could assign to the smaller kids. I wish we hadn’t done it at dinner though - I’d recommend doing a buffet of appetizers, snacks, etc. I also highly recommend the chopsticks challenge for round 3! We added M&Ms as an added bonus. All the rounds were fun. I will say our spy had no clue, and I think the overall clues to his/her identity are tough. Overall, it was great, and we will play it again with neighbors and just be hosts.

Definitely go with older players for this --
This is a TRICKY one, and such fun - the team challenges were HILARIOUS and a good break from wracking our brains trying to figure out the spy clues. Take note of the age minimum and revise upwards if you're working with a crew who gets frustrated easily. It's completely fine to NOT figure out the Spy (other than the whole dying thing), and people who were clueless still had a good time, but this is DEFINITELY a good mental exercise for those who are good with locked-room mysteries and stumping clues.

Great Fun!
So much fun! My guests are still talking about our spy dinner party. Even my quiet friends had fun with this. We had 14 people and it took close to 3 hours to complete. Highly recommend if you are looking for laughter and great memories.

So thrilled!
It was so super simple to download after purchasing and getting the kit ready was a breeze. I loved that I didn't have to wait for anything in the mail and didn't waste money on shipping. So convenient for last minuters like me! The game was a ton of fun - my guests are still laughing! Thanks for this!

MORE fun than we planned on!
Sending a HUGE THANK YOU to the creative writers of this Mystery package! I had fun planning the evening & even more fun watching it unfold as each character came to life! My teenage daughter wants me to plan her Bday the same way because she's jealous that she missed out on the fun! I am SO EXCITED!

So much fun.... Great teen party
This was the first party for any of us to ever do. We did it for a church youth group. It was a hit. We will definitely do another one. The package was well put together and so easy to do. My only regret is in the excitement of it all I forgot to take pictures.
