Bloodwood Masquerade Murder Mystery
A masquerade ball murder mystery party game for 8-18 players, ages 14 and up due to difficulty. This is an in-person, face-to-face formatted game. Characters are flexible gender, so this game may be played co-ed, all female or all male. There are two expansion packs available (purchased separately) to include 40 unique player roles. Also, the game is expandable to up to 200+ players with duplicated team players.
This is the instant download version of the game, you will have everything needed to play within the download, and there's nothing to ship, so you avoid shipping fees. No waiting, just download, print, prepare and play! Don't want to prepare your game? No worries - for the party ready pack (boxed set), click on the link below in the helpful links section.
INCLUDED: There are four PDF files to download with this game - a host instruction file, printable file, solution key, and an optional free invitation file. You must use Adobe Reader (free software that you can download at Adobe.com) to view the PDF file, as a PDF is an Adobe product.
FORMAT: this is a traditional, mingling, clue-based game (downloadable version) for in-person groups. For virtually-formatted games that are ideal for video chat platforms, click here.
GIFTING: the standard game license does not allow transfers, so you cannot purchase a download as a gift. For gifts, click here for gift certificates, or use the link below for the boxed version of the game (party pack).

Murder Mystery Synopsis:
Bloodworth Falls is an isolated town plagued with scandals. The townsfolk bicker in the streets, and many believe the local government is corrupt. Nevertheless, the mayor is hosting a mysterious masquerade ball in the old Bloodwood Castle. The tickets to the event have sold out in record time. The townspeople are curious to discover why the mayor would put effort into doing something positive in this hopeless town of gloom. Anticipation for the event hangs thickly in the air, and many are already hunting for the perfect mask.
You are worried about what will happen when toxic people come together this night. You are alarmed, as you didn't purchase your ticket - somebody placed it in your mailbox in an unmarked envelope. Somebody wants you there, but you're unsure why. This is where your story begins.

Can't give enough praise
My group had a ball - no pun intended - with this game. The host instructions were easy to follow and detailed. They answered my emails - asking things covered in the instructions (Ha ha). I thought the kit was easy to prepare - kind of therapeutic to cut out clue cards, LOL. The mystery was challenging, but not impossible and the guests were crazy for it. Will do again very soon! Never going to another manufacturer for sure.

Great fun...
I bought this for a birthday party down the country where we had rented a house. It was great fun but a lot of work when you got the PDF. A lot of printing, cutting and organising. I think if I was doing it again, I would actually pay the extra bit to get it sent out due to the amount of time it took to get organised. Everyone had a great time and I think we would as a group do it again. Group of 12, late 20's

Total blast
Ok real talk, i was super hesitant to spend money on this but it was worth EVERY penny! Boas flew, accusations were screamed across tables, pretty sure two people almost real life broke up!! But in the end everyone was practically murdering me with questions over when we could do the next one and what other theme options existed! Only downfall? Tons of people who weren't invited on Facebook saw pictures and as soon as they got past the silently hating us phase, are now trying to invite themselves over for another one. Be warned, everyone you don't invite will be jealous as heck

Wish I could load pictures - GREAT GAME
I can't even describe how much fun our group had. We're already planning our Halloween party. I'll never use another company, these guys are awesome in every aspect. The author is great with the plot, details and the video, guest site, everything added to make this the best party ever.

Awesome product
We did this for my daughter's 18th birthday party. The kids had so much fun. Invitations with the character list got them excited. They all dressed up for their parts. Loved that the optional parts were well integrated and not just an after thought. One of the guest remarked we should do this every Saturday! This will be a hard party to top. The package is clear and well thought out. A very, very good product.

Lots of fun!
This was my first murder mystery party and we had a blast! There were 11 of us and not everyone knew each other but everyone stayed in character and laughed a lot. By the end of the party everyone was planning our next one. This package was perfect at the last minute and we'll definitely ordering another mystery soon!
