Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:
Dr. Larry Doom, heir to the Doom estate and a renowned chemist, has led a troublesome life filled with misery, lies, and deceitful practices. After receiving troubling news from his doctor, Dr. Doom began reflecting on the many cruel deeds he had committed against those closest to him.
In a sudden fit of regret, he pleaded with his niece, Miss Crimson, the only person still in his good graces, to host a dinner party at Doom Mansion. Dr. Doom claims he wants an opportunity to reconcile with the friends, relatives, and former associates he has wronged over the years.
The guests will undoubtedly arrive in style, anticipating an intriguing and mysterious evening inside the legendary mansion. Dr. Doom has planned a glamorous gathering filled with sumptuous food, engaging conversation, exciting party games, and his long-awaited apologies.
You have received an invitation from Dr. Doom and hope the evening holds nothing more dangerous than uncomfortable confessions. Unfortunately, Dr. Doom is not known for his honesty, and the gathering could be a setup filled with secrets, lies, and danger. This is where your story begins.

Overall we had a great evening and enjoyed the game. We played with 6 characters and felt like we would have liked more detail to help solve it. Maybe you get that with bigger groups? Still, we would be happy to recommend it!
received everything very easy to download and print.
can't wait to do this mystery game.
Really liked the game, it wasn't too difficult. We enjoyed our thanksgiving day playing this game
This was my 1st ever murder mystery party. So as the host I felt that more instructions were needed. For example, I passed around the round one cards but had already revealed the murder (which was suppose to be a surprise still) so that messed up alot of the clues for round 1. The only suggestions they gave the host for the rounds were what food to serve during each round. The flow of the game was choppy and I kept referencing my papers I had already read a dozen times and those were no help. Overall I was disappointed because I purposely purchased this "starter" package since I was just that a newbie who never hosted a murder mystery. My advice, if you've never done anything like this before don't pick this game because your party will get confused and so will you as the host.
Got this as a last minute idea for dinner party. Easy set up and was a blast to play. Instructions were clear and everyone had a great time!
