Haunted Hotel Homicide: Mystery Party Game

Hosted this party at a friend's house, and boy did she go all out with her decorations! She did it right after Halloween, so there were plenty of people willing to share their decor. The guests (her bookclub friends) were all in, and their costumes showed so much talent and showmanship. The setting of a haunted hotel is classic, and the haunted doll aspect is so creepy. The guests loved the way this mystery is set up with the ability to accuse each other and share vital information. All enjoyed the experience, and as always, thank you, MMP, for an excellent evening!

Bought this for Halloween, the package came with very easy instructions, recipes, signage and more! We’ll worth the money!!! My friend group showed up, and we had such an amazing night of interrogating each other and bonus games! While there was really convincing theories, this expert level game was a tough one and no one guessed right. -p.s. we’re going to buy more of these games….can’t wait for the next one!

We have done murder mysteries as a family before but have never tackled one this complex. As always, all the materials needed to have an awesome experience are included with terrific easy to follow instructions. I got the version where I knew who the murderer was so I could match personalities of the participants to their characters. Because it was on Halloween we went all out on decorating. We had a haunted hallway and the front desk for a hotel complete with creepy statuary. We created haunted “dolls” by painting ugly knick knacks black with red eyes. Totally creepy and fit the part.

This mystery requires all participants to fully engage and play their part or vital information won’t be shared. No wallflowers allowed in the required parts. Everyone got into character and played it up all the way. Accusations were flying and that was before the murder even happened! Once the victim came out in their victim shirt it really got going. We had an absolute blast.

This being the year from Covid hell, my college freshman daughter who is having to remote learn asked for a big Halloween blowout with the family. Afterward, she said this was her best Halloween ever. If that isn’t the best endorsement you can get, I don’t know what is.

This was my first time hosting a murder mystery soirée and boy did I ever bring it thanks to the inspiration of the story and setting of Haunted Hotel Homicide. I completely transformed my home for the evening and dazzled my guests with all of the details that tied into the story. I was surprised to see how well everything flowed throughout the night with little help. We found the Post murder clues to be a little confusing but I guess that is what you can expect from a level 8 in difficulty paired with it being every guests first time attending a murder mystery.

My boyfriend has done some of these in the past, and wanted to do another for my birthday party. He was the only person who knew the gist of how it all worked, so for the rest of us it was totally new.
WE. HAD. A. BLAST.
I was worried about the difficulty of the game since 99% of us had never played, but the night was fun and flawless. My boyfriend said it was actually the best experience he's ever had. He and I were also able to cut out the cards and stuff the envelopes without any plots points or victims being spoiled for us. At the end of the night, everyone was saying how much fun they had and asked when the next murder mystery party would be. Thank you for making my 25th birthday party a smash!
