    I purchased this for a Christmas staff party. I was a little nervous that we would not all get into the spirit of things, but I needn't have worried. WE LOVED IT!! Everyone was straight into it, and it was a great way for us to get out of our shells and interact with one another. I cannot thank you enough - everything was super easy to put together and it ran so well. THANK YOU!

    Family Christmas

    I did this for a our large family Christmas party. It was great and so much fun. This was my first murder mystery party. I was nervous, but the instructions was excellent and helped me plan. I will definitely being doing this again next year. The only thing I would do different is pay the extra for the party pack instead of doing digital.

    Great time and easy to set up

    I was pretty apprehensive about hosting a murder mystery party for my daughter's 16th birthday but it was what she wanted. I cannot tell you how pleasantly surprised I was with this kit. It was easy to follow, has step by step instructions for set up and gave nothing away so I could enjoy the game as well. The storyline was great and everyone had a wonderful time. Well worth it.

    The My Mystery Party games have extremely well written characters. The clues are fun and easy to work with. We had a fabulous event and laughed all night.

    So fun!

    We had a great time with this murder mystery! The characters were a lot of fun, the story lines were fun, and the mystery was tricky, but not too hard we didn't someone solve it. We also loved the optional party games that were included! You will want to have your video recorder handy to capture the fun! We didn't use all of the recipes that were included, but the ones we did were awesome! Overall it was a great experience!
