Last Will & Testament of Roland Kingsley

I just hosted my first murder mystery party and chose this package to use. We played with 14 people, all of whom are in our mid twenties to early thirties. It was so much fun! Even my biggest doubters were impressed and surprised not only at how well put together the story was, but how much they enjoyed it. I tried to follow everything the instructions said and printed all of the materials, put clues in envelopes and scrolls, decorated my apartment with a gothic, funeralesque vibe and served finger foods and wine. Only one person guessed the killer! So we also gave out best actor awards, which was fun. By the end of the night everyone had told me multiple times how great of an idea this was, and how excited they were to do it again. Thanks for a well crafted game and making my first party special!!

We just played it with 17 adults who had never done a murder mystery before. We were concerned after hearing it was a 8/10 for difficulty so we explained to everyone not to be too stingy with their clues they can conceal. 17 is quite a bit of people to try and talk to so I might might cut down the number of people to 14-16, but it was still good. In the end about 75% of the people got the answer correct. Also the customer service was like nothing I’d experienced, extremely quick and helpful responses. Keep up the good work, would definitely do another or recommend to others

This was our second mystery party from your company. Last year our daughter, who was turning 16 at the time, was hesitant to have a birthday party (you know, it might not be cool) but really wanted to try this. She did, and it was such a huge success and the kids had so much fun that she did another one again this year. Anything that keeps a huge group of teenagers entertained, engaged, and having a blast is a huge success! It’s been so fun for them that I want to try it for my own birthday. So, we’ll be ordering from you again soon! 5+ stars!!

I have never hosted a murder mystery before, so I did quite a bit of shopping around before choosing this company and this particular mystery. My goal was to find a game that would be fun for a group of smart adults and teens, not too corny, well-written, and with a mystery that was genuinely challenging. This set was perfect. Printing and assembling the materials wasn't much work at all; the only drawback was that everything looked very plain on white copy paper inside plain white envelopes. If I did it again, I might consider upgrading my paper materials or purchasing the full kit. Even though I hosted, I was able to successfully keep the solution a secret from myself, so I enjoyed participating as much as anyone. We had a few hams in our group who really got into character, but even the more staid, non-theater-types enjoyed themselves. I was pleasantly surprised that EVERYONE dressed up as their character, even my husband, who doesn't normally like this kind of thing. The murderer ended up being my 13yo daughter, who played it up dramatically. Overall, I do recommend this and I'm sure I'll purchase from this company again.

Everyone enjoyed the mystery. We played with 5 couples. Some guests were into playing their character and some were into solving the mystery. We did solve it after reading all the material. Would definitely recommend. Easy to host.

Great material! My daughter wanted to do a murder mystery. They had a great time and enjoyed it. They all thought they knew who the murder was but was surprised when only 2 guess it right. Would buy another pack from this company.

This was my first murder mystery party. We had a blast!! Instructions were clear and very helpful. Costume suggestions were right on. Party flowed perfectly. Will definitely buy another murder mystery!

It's a challenge, but a fun one! My group got into their characters before the party, which added to the fun. We all had a great time trying to decipher who did it. I h ave done many of this company's games and this did not disappoint - bit of a different format than the others, and it was a great time.

We were up for a challenge and this did not disappoint. There is a lot of history behind the characters that you can study up on before the game. The pre party fun was great, my guests wanted more! Overall, out of 18 players in their 30s - only two got it right - but they worked for it. BRAVO! Thanks to the writer and creators - we had a great time.
