Back in Time for Murder: Time Travel Mystery Party Game

This was a very different game than others in the past we have played. I really get into making sure the atmosphere is perfect. So for this one I wanted to make it different. I set up different areas in my basement to be the different time period from the players. We had ancient Egypt's tomb in a hallway with writing on the walls and flickering candles. Rembrandts paintings in the Netherlands, 1950's diner for Monroe and more!

My party really enjoyed this one! The characters and theming were very fun and that led to a lot of fun interactions. The one critique I have is that the murderer was difficult to figure out. There seemed to be very little by way of motive or alibi that seemed to give the killer away. The additional information post-murder was a tad bit difficult to follow. Besides that, it was a great game!

We've done other Murder Mysteries and love them in general. This one in particular we really enjoyed since it was more interactive. From side conversations that were expected and had to the blood curdling scream. Definitely would recommend this one.

It was so much fun!!

This was an absolute blast. I purchased this product for my wife's 35 birthday and cast her as the main character. She was blown away. In fact, we had so much fun that we are already planning our next mystery party. We had about 50 people at the party so if your are going big definitely buy the expansion. It was awesome.

Love the product and writing - the characters are great. Sadly - I accidently clicked the order 'download' version 3 times -and was triple charged.... website should disallow or automatically recognize that you can't download the same product 3 times (meaning if you pay for 1 download - how can you download it 3 times at 3x the price?

We bought this for my partner's birthday party (ages 20-40). Not only did he love but the guests had a blast too! We bought the expansion pack as well because we were planning on having a large group and then a huge portion had to cancel last minute. We ended up playing with about 10 people (7 of the required characters and the rest were opinion from both the game and the expansion). 10 seemed like a really good number to play with.

Some things that I wish I had done differently or things that I changed a bit.

-A lot of the characters who had to bail were more villain type characters. When everyone was interacting, it was mainly a big group that got together to talk rather than smaller groups of people or couples talking. I wish that I had been more careful in assigning characters. 1 good guy to 1 bad guy.

-It was my first time hosting a murder mystery party and I read through everything so that I had a better idea of game play and could help specific characters if they needed it.

-On their clue sheet, I can't remember exactly what it is called. They have a map that shows the layout of the space the party is taking place in. Even though every character had a map on their notes, I wish I had blown up the map and posted it somewhere.

-I think I overwhelmed my guests a little bit pre party. I was getting excited as I was figuring out what food I wanted to go along with the theme or while I was looking at costumes or while I was figuring out how the game out to be played. A lot of that is just me personally, I get excited and want to share. Giving people characters and then backing off until just before the party would have been a better for my guests. That being said, we in the planning stages of doing another murder mystery party, we will be have a lot of the same guests, and they are so excited about it!

I hosted this one for my daughters 11th birthday. Ages 11 - 15 they had a great time!

We had a great night, with many guests not knowing each other it was a good icebreaker. Such a broad range of characters which made it even more fun!
