Mullets Mystery Party | Party Pack
A hilarious, lighthearted murder mystery party game for up to 16 players, age 14 and up for difficulty. Multiple kit sizes are available, covering up to 300 players.
There are 8 required characters with Kit A and Kits B-J have 12 required players (see host character lists for details). You also have the ability to make any optional character seem required by adding their round two post-murder clue into the game. This does not narrow down to 6 players like the download - there are 8 required.
This is the boxed version of the game. Please see the video below, at the bottom of the page, to view an example boxed mystery party kit. 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.

Murder Mystery Synopsis:
Henpecked Junction is a small, charming town chock full of the best trailer parks with the most offbeat, neighborly, and, well, troublemaking residents. The festival planners have spewed blood, sweat, and bacon grease to make this year's Mullet Fest the most extraordinary jubilee ever thrown in the town square. Everyone's chompin' at the bit to party this year, as Henpecked Junction recently received national recognition for bringing home a record number of winnin' titles, such as the Mullet of the Year Award, Muds & Suds Truck Race, Rompin', Stompin' Hot Dog Chomp - and the list goes on.
But the mayor's feelin' like a long-tailed cat in a room of rockin' chairs about how the townies will behave. Last year, the festival had to shut down b'fore sundown due to excessive table divin', portable potty vandalism, among other wrongdoings. So hopefully, everyone will be on their best behavior. Well, hmm, that bar ain't too high, if ya know what I'm sayin.' But can't never could do nothing, so the show will go on as planned.
I saw that you snagged your ticket to Mullet Fest, and I know you can't wait to see what all's being fried up for the food offerings.
This is where your story begins.

Great fun
We did this game for my daughter’s birthday and everyone enjoyed themselves! The Game was straightforward to present to the group, but there were clues that were less obvious to everyone. Though, some had a difficult time figuring out who was the culprit.

Our first one
I purchased this game for a youth centre event, and it was hit! I had the drama kids play main characters and had extra spots for non-actors and people who showed up without an RSVP (that will happen with teenagers). The characters were fun, the dialogue was great. The puzzles were challenging. We were a little lost at times during the game, but we figured it out and it turned out to be a great night! Highly recommended!

Great light-hearted game for teen party
We did this party with a group of 10 high school seniors. They all had an amazing time. The characters were light-hearted and fun and they all enjoyed the funny back stories. The level of difficulty was perfect and a few of them were able to figure out the solution. This game has no scripts, but each character has suggested clues on things they should reveal each round. The videos and other materials are clever and add to the party. I highly recommend buying the printed materials which all come on nice paper and look professional.
