Murder Mystery Party | Bloodwood Masquerade Ball | Boxed Kit
A masquerade ball murder mystery party game for a minimum of 8 players, ages 14 and up due to difficulty. There are various kit sizes available in the drop-down box above. This game can cover up to 200+ players with the larger kits.
Spoil yourself, and choose the spoiler-free option above, and our staff will fold and slip your clue cards for rounds one, two, and three into the envelopes to prevent you from seeing spoilers on the round cards. Without the spoiler-free option selected, you will have some assembly required with your kit and there will be spoilers upon opening the kit and viewing the rounds 2 and 3 clue cards.
The download version is a different product and does not come with the party pack, as they are not seamless and materials should not be used together.

I'm a junkie for these games
The boxed kit was the way to go. I've done many b4 and never splurged but glad I did this time. Well organized and thought out.
