A hilarious St. Patrick’s Day murder mystery party game set during the annual celebration at the Shakin’ Shamrock Pub in Old Lacken. This lively Irish-pub mystery is packed with eccentric townspeople, festive music, Irish delicacies, outrageous personalities, bitter rivalries, dreadful scandals, simmering feuds, suspicious histories, carefully guarded secrets, party challenges, and murder during the town’s biggest St. Paddy’s Day bash.

Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:

St. Patrick’s Day is around the corner, and the Shakin’ Shamrock Pub in the quaint town of Old Lacken is preparing to rock and roll with a packed house of intriguing Irish gents and ladies. The celebration will feature festive music, tasty Irish delicacies, exciting party games, and engaging conversations. However, the evening could quickly take a dark turn, as many of the townspeople cannot remain in the same room for more than a few moments without causing mayhem.

During the past year, Old Lacken has been riddled with dreadful scandals emerging from every direction. Longstanding feuds have heated from lukewarm disagreements into conflicts that are boiling over the brim. The Shakin’ Shamrock’s management recognizes the danger but promises to keep the celebration moving without incident.

You scored a ticket to the St. Paddy’s Day bash and are dying to attend. This is where your story begins.

Murder at the Shakin' Shamrocks Pub

We were to have 32 adults, but last minute with one being required could not come. The instructions were easy to follow including the FAQ which answered what to do when someone cannot come. Everyone had a great time dressing up, which included their Irish green. It made a wonderful "60" birthday event. I ordered the expansion kit as well. I like how the instructions say "warning spoiler alert". It made it easy to print and stuff envelopes without spoiling for the host, which is also playing a part.

Good Hostess Information!

I have not had the party yet, but the instructions are awesome, and the materials very well written for an interactive party for a somewhat large group (15 in character and 14 non-characters). I will know more if the party is a success in about 6 weeks. This was bought for a club get-together, and I liked it so well, am buying another one for a college friend reunion!

Great fun!

This was the 2nd neighborhood murder mystery party I have hosted and it did not disappoint! We had lots of fun as usual. There did seem to be missing information though...someone was supposed to find the victim but that persons card did not instruct them to do so. It was a little kink that would be nice to clarify in the game materials. My neighbors were requesting another party in just a few months!

Rollicking Good Time

We had 32 participants for the "Murder Me, I 'm Irish" evening and it was a huge success. Decorations were easy as we all had St. Patty's Day "stuff" and the directions, the character assignments etc. were easy and clear. Thanks for a great fund-raiser and fun-raiser.

Very fun

This was a good group of characters. I was very Female heavy this time (8 F 3 M), so it worked out great.

St. Patrick's Day Fun

I purchased this script for a gathering at my home. As I read through it, I thought the characters seemed strange and the script seemed overwhelming. I was completely wrong. Everyone showed up in character and it was an amazing night. I even have a daughter who does Irish dancing and she performed too. We laughed the whole night and surprisingly everyone kept their character going until they left for the evening. (Actually, my husband has now continued to call a friend of ours, "Chicken Farmer?" ) So funny. I would love to add pictures here...looking for a place to add them. Just a tip: Oriental Trading makes a tavern sign with your name on it.

Loved this!

We had so much fun doing this party. My daughter is an Irish dancer so she performed in between the evidence reveals. What a unique and fun way to throw a party. Everyone got really into the characters too. Fun times! Pictures to come...
