A spooky haunted-mansion murder mystery party game. This atmospheric mansion mystery is packed with wealthy socialites, forensic investigators, paranormal researchers, suspicious servants, determined detectives, ambitious reporters, tragic family history, malevolent ghost stories, guarded secrets, and murder inside the shadowy halls of the Cadbury estate.

Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:

Victoria Cadbury, the mysterious heiress of Golden Grove, is hosting an unprecedented dinner party at the Cadbury estate in honor of the Golden Grove Historical Society. Since invitations to exclusive gatherings are rarely extended beyond Victoria’s carefully selected social circle, you were bewildered when one arrived in your mailbox.

The sprawling 18th-century manor has a tragic history, and generations of Golden Grove residents have whispered about malevolent spirits roaming its shadowy halls. Strange occurrences, unexplained noises, chilling sightings, and troubling stories have made the Cadbury estate one of the town’s most notorious landmarks.

Despite the manor’s unsettling reputation, curiosity has overwhelmed your better judgment. Golden Grove’s socialites, investigators, scientists, servants, law-enforcement officials, paranormal researchers, and reporters are preparing to gather beneath one roof for an evening that promises to be unforgettable. You have received your invitation to the Cadbury estate. The mansion doors are opening, the guests are arriving, and this is where your story begins.

This was a blast! Everyone came in character and we were totally engaged until the end of the game. Everything was downloaded and easy to follow, highly recommended!

Best game we’ve played

This murder mystery game was by far the best that we played. We do this yearly for Halloween and this one has such a surprise that we were left very satisfied.. the only recommendation I have is to simplify the directions. That it would be nice to have more like a boy kind of thing to help us has been going to keep us on track. This was definitely the ultimate game.

Murder at the Old Cadbury Mansion

What FUN! Three weeks later we are still laughing about the games and events of each round. We had a small group of nine, and this being the first My Mystery party I have thrown, I’m glad it wasn’t bigger. Next time a larger group will not be as intimidating!

Way fun

We threw this party for Halloween with our friends and it was a riot. We loved the Victorian theme and we went all out with our table setting & house decor. All our guests showed up dressed to the nines.
We have played *alot* of murder mystery dinners. We would say this one is very fun if you have people willing to get into character. We had people wandering around the house, getting up from the table to talk to people, private conversations in different rooms. That was a fun and unique element. The cons of this are that there is not as much full table interaction. There are limits on who you are supposed to talk to and who you are not, it’s a little ‘cliquey’ as part of the game. So you don’t get as much camaraderie and boisterous laughter with the full table as with other games. But all in all, still totally spooky and fun. Made a night we will never forget.

Over all flow and ease

I’m sure we didn’t map this game as well as we could, but it didn’t matter we had so much fun. It was very engaging. Flowed nicely. All around great fun.

It worked great!

I used this for a group of 8 people and it worked great! Everything went smoothly and it couldn’t be easier to set up and run. This is the first one I have used and I am looking forward to using more, everyone is looking forward to our next murder mystery! Plus this has a great twist :)

So Fun!

We decided to do a small party for my daughter’s birthday and this was a perfect way to celebrate! I loved the surprise ending...didn’t see it coming! We will do another one in the near future. I highly recommend.

Old Cadbury Mansion Halloween Party

Best Halloween yet. From the game trailer to the invitation PDF and suggestions; it was well done. Hosted a halloween party for our friends and it was awesome. Everyone took it seriously and came well dressed and in character. Will definitely host more of these murder mysteries.

An amazing and fantastic night

We have never been to or hosted one of these before this one. Our guest had an absolute fantastic time. Setting the house up took minimal effort but, of course I had to push the envelope. We set up fog machines for the guests to experience as they arrived. When the actual party started, we kicked in the lightning machines outside the house along with the sound inside which really set the atmosphere. All costume suggestions were matched by those playing and really took it over the edge and made it super fun. Since this was a setting of a fundraiser, we played right, left, center during one of the breaks in order to add to the fundraising feel. Everyone who attended had never participated in a murder mystery game but, always wanted to do so. I would definitely recommend this game. We are now expected to host these every Spring.

Super fun and great twist!

Great game. We had 18 people, and everyone felt involved. It was a very fun game, and we will definitely be doing more of them!

Great Mystery Great Party

This was our first ever murder mystery party, and it was fantastic!! We played with the expansion and had a total of 22 guests! The instructions were easy to follow and really set us up for a great evening. We had a mixed group of friends so there were several people who didn't know each other, but that didn't really matter. Once the game starts everyone gets their clue card, and it really didn't matter as the game starts and everyone gets into character.

As hosts we weren't spoiled at all except for a few minor details that we were able to guess or infer based on some of the instructions, ie when the murder was going to happen, and who was suddenly missing from the group. This was so minor that it didn't even matter and we were definitely surprised with how everything unfolded.

We got rave reviews from all of our guests even the ones who were a little unsure at first. Can't wait to start planning next years party!

Time flew by!

The game is easy to set up, the host instructions were clear. The plot was full of details and we could have played it for a lot longer than planned, as there's a lot to do. We didn't play any of the bonus games, due to time restrictions, but it's good that you can adapt the game to how much time you have. I'd use this website again.

Great game, easy to prepare - I have my kit ready to go for my party. The host instructions seem easy to follow, so I am not anxious that everything will go as planned. I am so excited!

good fun

We like the extra games included with the mystery and we haven't had the party yet but it looks to be on par with other parties we've purchased from other vendors. The site has a good selection of parties to choose from.
