An entertaining old-mansion murder mystery party game set at an elite dinner inside the legendary Doom estate. This classic mansion mystery is packed with suspicious relatives, former associates, fractured relationships, secret motives, dangerous weapons, mysterious rooms, lies, deceit, long-awaited apologies, and a notorious chemist attempting to make amends.

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 an elegant dinner 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 conversations, entertaining 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 this gathering could be a setup filled with secrets, lies, and danger. This is where your story begins.

Host a Large Group Game:
  • Main Game: 10 unique suspect characters
    • The game may be played with a co-ed or all-female group.
  • Expansion Pack #1: 6 additional unique suspect characters
    • Sold separately.
    • Includes 4 female and 2 gender-flexible roles.
    • All 6 expansion characters are optional.
    • The expansion characters may be added in any combination.

Dr. Larry Doom is not a player role—the murder has already occurred when the investigation begins, so no guest portrays the victim.

Fun evening and good game

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!

Great fun for a family vacation!

What I love about this mystery party set is that the host can participate in the mystery if you have someone to help you set it up ahead of time. I had a friend organize the clues for me before we left for vacation so that everyone was able to participate. Another thing I love is that the themes are so family-friendly without being boring at all! And there is room for improvisation but still enough script to have a direction.

But what I love the most is that, if you have a player that you do not want to be the "bad guy," then you simply assign him/her one of the optional roles. My younger brother (24yo) has Down syndrome, so I was unsure if he would be able to play his role alone, but because we all went into the game knowing he wasn't the bad guy, we were able to relax and help him a lot more without fear of ruining the secrets. My brother played the butler, which was perfect because he was rather quiet the whole time. Great GREAT feature! (This would work for a child who wanted to participate as well.)

The one thing that I did not like was the the host's instructions are a little confusing. Again, I played a role (Ms. Crimson, who is the dinner party host in the story too) while also hosting the mystery party, so I did not read ahead before the day of the party. That could have had an effect, but I was very confused, which caused us all to break out of character a couple times.

Overall, great product!!

Enjoyed this Mystery Party

I used this Mystery Party pack for my son's 15th birthday party. My son, along with his 9 guests, had a really good time with this pack. It was just the right length for them (it took them about 2.5 hours, including taking photos & eating finger foods) and most were able to figure it out, which was a plus as they really wanted to be able to figure it out!

Fun Time

Made for a very fun night for my family (aged 24+). It wasn’t terribly difficult, 3/6 of us guessed the correct answer, but totally appropriate for first timers! Definitely would recommend!

Highly recommend!

I purchased the downloadable pack for 10 guests. We had such a wonderful time. We normally have a big Halloween party every year, but with covid we wanted to something a little different. So we invited some family over had had a murder mystery dinner party. Everyone dressed up in their different character roles, we did the pregame task which got everyone excited. My sister told me it was the best Halloween she's ever had. It was a blast! I would definitely do it again!

First party

We threw our first murder mystery party, and it was more fun than we expected. We had 9 people and it turned out great! I downloaded and printed everything out and placed in envelopes (which you will need). Will be ordering again soon.

Highly Recommend for Fun....

This murder mystery dinner party was a blast. We ordered the extension package, so we had a complete total of 16 guests. I liked the fact that the main character, "Dr. Doom" was not an actual part, so no one had to "die" and everyone could actively participate. We all loved the write-ups at the end where each character revealed why they were not the murderer (but one). All the character parts were very interesting and everyone dressed up. I HIGHLY recommend some of the games. They provide a nice "break." We did the "Rapping" contest after round one and the dance contest after the final reveal. I don't know when we have all laughed so hard!! We drew names for partners which made it so much more interesting and fun.

Everyone Loved It!

We played this in our office for Halloween. I purchased it a week before and was able to get everything organized in time. It was easy to follow and we had a lot of great laughs. Everyone said they want it to be a Halloween tradition. Can't wait until we do it again!

A “Killer” Halloween Party!

First off, let me just say how hilariously named the characters are- basically knock off Clue, in the best way!!! The game instructions were very organized and concise, making my very first mystery party a breeze to host! You will be surprised by how immersed in character your guests will be! Everyone delivered their roles so well and we had the best time playing. Definitely a new Halloween tradition!!
