Murder Behind the Mirror Mystery Game Synopsis:

An unlikely group has received invitations to the Nevermore Gala, a mysterious affair held behind the legendary Mirror of Daebub. The ancient relic was recently purchased at an exclusive Manhattan art auction, but its new owner quickly sold it to an unknown buyer in the distant town of Nevermore.

Rumors claim the mirror holds supernatural power and offers passage into a sinister parallel world. Those brave enough to cross through the glass may encounter dark versions of themselves—and discover that their most carefully guarded identities cannot remain hidden.

You have received an invitation to this cryptic social event. Will you have the nerve to step through the mirror and face what lurks behind? This is where your story begins.

Content note: This dark paranormal mystery includes references to ghosts, demons, evil sorcerers, aliens, serial killers, mobsters, and other sinister beings.

SO much fun!

This game was an absolute blast! As the chose, I opted not to know the victim/murderer and I was given enough information for the game to still run smoothly. Although, I think I would’ve had just as much fun if I knew ahead of time. All the girls really got into character and I think that’s what made it so great. The instructions and having “rounds” really made the game flow smoothly. Can’t wait to do another one!

First Time Host, All Guests had a Killer Time

I hosted this game as a birthday gift for my friend and everyone who attended had a blast! The host guide was a lifesaver in helping to keep the flow of the game. If you’re a first time host, like I was, I’d highly recommend reading it over a few times before the party starts as there are a ton of small details to remember for each round of the game.

It’d be nice if there were a couple suggested characters for the host to play so that they’re in a more hands off role… as I felt a bit frazzled trying to get my prompts across while still making sure the game was flowing properly. I’d recommend that the host choose an optional character if at all possible.

Overall, hosting this game was a rewarding experience and I’ll definitely be doing it again!
