Roman Toga Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:
It is time once again for the annual Roman Toga Bash at the lavish Pompey Palace Resort, where luxury drips from every marble column, and gossip flows faster than the wine.
This year, the citizens of Gothica City are determined to outshine one another with their clever toga designs. With every ticket sold, the palace will soon overflow with anticipation, ambition, and more than a few carefully guarded secrets. Guests will make their grand entrances along the red carpet, each hoping to claim unofficial glory in the evening’s toga competition. But beneath the laughter and laurel wreaths, not every smile conceals honorable intentions.
Rumors of blackmail, betrayal, and scandal are already echoing through the marble halls. Still, with lavish food, festive games, and lively conversation planned, perhaps the evening will remain a celebration rather than descend into accusation and chaos.
You have your ticket, your toga, and your secrets.
This is where your story begins.

We hosted our friends for New Year's Eve using the Murder at the Roman Toga Bash. We've done a couple mysteries before but this year, the kids wanted to join us. This is also the first year we correctly solved the mystery and we used some of the non-required parts for our youngest sleuths. We had people ages 10-40 playing and everyone had a great time!
I hosted a party of coworkers with the Roman Toga Murder Mystery theme. Everyone had a great time. I was able to assemble the materials without seeing who the victim or murderer was by cutting them out face down. We had 12 out of the 16 main characters and everything went well. I've hosted a couple of murder mystery parties from MyMysterParty.com and I've enjoyed them all!
My students loved this game, the characters were perfect, educational, and really fun! The host instructions were good, but since I didn't have a lot of time to read everyone's confessions, I wasn't sure who the murder was until the last round - which is fine, but I may have chosen to do things differently if I knew who was the murderer and victim were at a glance in the instructions. Overall, really fun, good graphics, and well organized!
