Fun
This was the first murder mystery my family has ever done. I planned the party also a first. I must say it was very easy to pull together and everyone had a lot of fun. I would recommend this game to anyone. We loved it.

Our Holiday Christmas Party at Snowflake Lodge
Our family of 20 had an absolutely great time! Ages 5-91. The options and suggestions far exceeded my expectations! Thank you!

8 teens had a great time
We kept it simple and with 8 girls it went much quicker than the given time line. It was a success and the murderer was found:-) I have organized several mysteries. This one was straight forward and easy to follow.

Great time with Family!
We did this with our parents, kids and grand kids. Our ages ranged from 10 to 85! We paired the younger kids with the older adults. It worked great! We did not go full blown but simply introduced characters and did the rounds between appetizers, dinner and dessert. Our participants took their roles seriously and we had many laughs and much fun! It made for a very enjoyable evening! We are now thinking about doing it full blown with adults!

Awesome for teens
I bought this for a teen event. It took me a little set up before hand but everything was so simple and easy. Teens are notoriously low on commitment so I just gave them their characters the night of and it actually worked out great! They had a blast and no one even realized who the extra characters were. The kids are demanding another one now with even more characters.

Great party!
We've done a few mystery parties from other companies and this one was far better. Our guests had a blast. The player parts were great, and everyone got into it. I suggest doing all the pre-game activities, as well. I'll be back with this company, for sure.

Great Christmas Event
We held this for a client's Christmas party. The story was humorous and well enjoyed by all. You should have seen some of those sweaters. ;)
