Non-Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:
Dr. Percy Peabody has invited an exclusive group of guests to his mansion in the gloomy town of Dead Hollow for a mysterious VIP dining experience.
This will be no ordinary dinner party.
During the evening, Dr. Peabody will secretly plant a saboteur among the guests and challenge the group with a series of demanding physical, intellectual, and teamwork-based competitions. By successfully completing the challenges, the guests will earn valuable clues that may reveal the identity of the spy hiding among them. Every invited guest has a curious background, unusual personality, and possible reason for being selected by the eccentric host. Some guests may work together to uncover the truth, while others may become distracted by rivalries, secrets, and their own desire to claim the Peabody fortune. The person who correctly identifies the saboteur will leave the mansion unscathed and receive a share of Dr. Peabody’s immense wealth.
Those who guess incorrectly may not be so fortunate.
Dr. Peabody has invited you to accept the challenge and risk everything for a life of luxury. Will you expose the spy before it is too late?
This is where your story begins.

I don't recommend this one for 17-18 year olds or those that don't have a psychology degree. The spy was not obvious even if they thoroughly played the part. No one guessed the right character and when I (the host) read the rationale everyone said they never would have guessed that even with the best of acting. It was fun to play the games but the solution was a real let down.
We are a family of 4 (2 adults/2 teens) and played with another family of 6 (2 adults/2teens2kids). It was a lot of fun. The adults and teens were the required 8 characters and it was wonderful to have gender neutral names and also optional characters we could assign to the smaller kids. I wish we hadn’t done it at dinner though - I’d recommend doing a buffet of appetizers, snacks, etc. I also highly recommend the chopsticks challenge for round 3! We added M&Ms as an added bonus. All the rounds were fun. I will say our spy had no clue, and I think the overall clues to his/her identity are tough. Overall, it was great, and we will play it again with neighbors and just be hosts.
This is a TRICKY one, and such fun - the team challenges were HILARIOUS and a good break from wracking our brains trying to figure out the spy clues. Take note of the age minimum and revise upwards if you're working with a crew who gets frustrated easily. It's completely fine to NOT figure out the Spy (other than the whole dying thing), and people who were clueless still had a good time, but this is DEFINITELY a good mental exercise for those who are good with locked-room mysteries and stumping clues.
This was our 2nd murder mystery game we ordered...loved it. Really enjoyed the challenges!
I hosted a Halloween party and this is what we did for the party this year. It was a lot of fun and we all laughed and enjoyed ourselves, but me and all of my guests had similar feedback. Not one of us even came close to guessing who the actual spy was (including the spy themselves) and keep in mind guests ages were all between 29-55, and are not a dumb group of people. There was not enough background information given ahead of time for each person to know much about their character, and other characters revealed things about the character that the character didn't even know themselves. The clues that were given once a round had been won were completely useless and didn't really help to narrow down who the spy was. We all talked and felt that it would have been better if we had been given more background information before hand, and that the cards given to each character each round had information about other people, or indicated you need to talk to other people about certain things, in order to catch people in lies etc. (i am trying to be generic so I don't spoil it for anyone reading this). Overall it was fun, but I had wished for a bit more!, especially for the price. I am hoping some of the other sets are a little more straight forward.
