Immerse yourself in the Polynesian spirit as it whirls around you, setting the stage for an adventure unlike any other. Upon arrival, a vibrant Hawaiian lei will be your first token of the evening, a prelude to a night filled with delectable appetizers, spellbinding party games, and unforeseen interactions. Yet, tread lightly — beneath the veneer of warmth and celebration, a cauldron of secrets bubbles, and hidden agendas await. Forget the notion of an ordinary luau—each celebration is a grand affair destined to leave an indelible mark on all who partake. Prepare for an evening drenched in luxury and cloaked in mystery at the grand Oceanside Palace Hotel—the night beckons with promises of surprises, revelations, and perhaps an element of peril.

Fun and Different
We wanted something fun to do for our adult twins' birthday during quarantine, and this was really memorable! We chose a mystery for a small group and everyone had a blast dressing up and getting into character. We can't wait to do another one for a larger group when quarantine is over!

Loved it!
The game was a ton of fun to be had by all. Festive costumes made for great laughs, the mystery was a challenge to us, as we'd never done one before. Great job on this game - will play another.

Great overall murder mystery
This was my 4th party I've tried and was easy to follow and easy for people who are beginners to succeed.

Amazing party!
We all had a blast! Easy instructions. Perfect entertainment for theme birthdays.

Really Amazing
We had the best time. This was so well done, as the host I could still participate. Full of surprises. Out of 6 guests, 3 were very shy/quiet so these cards that get distributed at each round were PERFECT because it told them exactly what they should mention. We of course were nervous so rushed Round 1 (which the instructions told us not too) but it still worked great because each round gave you the perfect amount of clues. I HIGHLY recommend this company because this was a great set up. The Luau was super fun and we will definitely be doing another party with a new pack from this company.

So well-written everyone could participate!
We've been to other murder mysteries where either you were given a detailed character bio but we're on your own to come up with questions or the entire thing was scripted. My Mystery Party is the perfect balance...with an absolutely perfect dose of laughter added. The quiet folks felt they could participate and have fun, never pushed to the sidelines, yet not made to feel uncomfortable. And the outgoing guests had a blast watching their characters evolve. In the end, the storylines were hysterical and so well thought out. Our 26 guests had the best time, and they've all asked when the next party will be.

Tons of fun!!
While on vacation at the beach last week I ordered the Maui murder mystery pack and extension pack for our family. The pack included everything we needed to have an awesome murder mystery dinner, plus lots of extras. Very well put together and easy to follow instructions. We had a party of 20 ranging from 10-64 and everyone enjoyed it. So much fun and very entertaining!! Can’t wait to do another one.

A Killer Birthday Party
We did the Murder in Maui for my birthday party and had a great time! We're all 30-somethings and it was great to see the group dress their parts and really get into character. The cards/directions were easy to follow, especially since none of us had ever done a murder mystery before. At the end of the party we were all joking that we wanted to do one every weekend! Everyone had a GREAT time!
