Panic at the House of Groove | 70's Mystery Party
1970s Disco Murder Mystery Dinner Party Games for adults: Panic at the House of Groove. The main game covers 8-14 players, ages 15 and up! With the purchase of the expansion packs #1-3, there are 30 suspects (15F, 13M, 2 flex) and with expansion pack #3 (all packs are purchased separately), you get two expandable teams (duplicated, non-suspect roles) to cover 80+ players.
This is the instant download upon purchase version of the game - no waiting, no shipping fees, as there is nothing to be shipped. Everything you need is included in the instant download! Easy to host, easy to prepare.
Note: This game is unique in that the host will know who the victim is in advance of playing the game but this does not confer an advantage to solving the crime.
Included: four PDF files to download - host instructions, printables, answer 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 for in-person groups.
Gifting: the standard game license does not allow transfers. For gifts, click here for gift certificates.

Murder Mystery Synopsis:
The House of Groove Discotheque is hosting the annual Disco Fever Competition. As a result, groovy cats and foxy mamas will soon flock to the legendary hotspot to cut a rug with the rich and famous. You've been practicing your groovy moves all year in anticipation of this competition and are ready to boogie. You can't wait to jump into your best disco threads and win over the judges with your smooth moves.
But unfortunately, not all is going as planned. Dance duos have been in turmoil, contestants have been feuding, and scandals have caught the public's attention. Nevertheless, the club management hopes that the participant list will keep growing. So you have fingers and toes crossed that this drama doesn't interfere with your chance to shake your groove thing on the dance floor. You'll be there because you're no square.

Awesome!
I had such a fun time planning and having this event. I hosted it for my birthday. My friends enjoyed and the night was full of fun and laughs. I did have some trouble with the timing of things but it still worked out really well. It's easy to adapt if you need to make a few changes.

Super Fun Night!
This was the third My Mystery Party that I’ve hosted. Everyone had a great time! My guests liked having characters based off real people to help with costumes. I’ll definitely be using another My Mystery Party in the future!

Fun night!
I have done three mysteries from this company and they never disappoint. We had a great time at the disco! Host instructions were easy to follow, the kit didn't take too much time to prepare (although I've done three now and knew exactly what to do). Love hosting these kind of parties!
