Who Stole the Pot O’ Gold Mystery Game Synopsis:
Emerald City is preparing for its annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration at Town Hall. Every fairy, gnome, elf, and leprechaun in town is ready for an evening of Irish food, lively music, entertaining challenges, and festive party games.
The enchanted residents will gather to exchange the latest gossip, show off their finest green attire, and celebrate with some of the most colorful personalities in Emerald City. Unfortunately, these annual festivities are notorious for reviving old rivalries, encouraging peculiar behavior, and creating more drama than a leprechaun can hide beneath a tiny hat.
When Larry Leprechaun’s pot of gold disappears, the guests must study the evidence, question the suspects, and uncover who committed the festive theft. You have received your ticket to the celebration, and this is where your story begins.
This family-friendly, non-murder mystery is designed for co-ed groups ages 13 and older. It includes fingerprint evidence and an optional finale scavenger hunt.
Your boxed kit arrives professionally printed and prepared for easy hosting. The exact quantity of materials varies depending on the selected kit size.
Included in the Boxed Kit:
- Host Instructions, including the standard host booklet and a game-specific information sheet
- Professionally Printed Game Materials
- Character Materials, including the Host Character List, Guest List, and Clue Cards
- Solution Materials
- Envelopes and Other Required Game Components
- Optional Extras, such as the free invitation
- Envelopes are not sealed, even in the spoiler-free kits, in case the host needs to view the cards. Sealing envelopes before gameplay is optional.
- Select games may also include video content, bonus clues, or other interactive extras. Any game-specific extras will be listed above under Interactive Extras.
Some light assembly may be required with the standard version. For a spoiler-free, party-ready game, select the appropriate kit option above.
For immediate access to a print-at-home version, use the instant download link on the product page instead of purchasing the boxed kit.
Standard vs. Spoiler-Free Assembly
Standard Version
The standard version requires light assembly before the party. The host must fold and insert the cards for Rounds 1, 2, and 3 into the corresponding labeled envelopes.
Spoilers are limited to the Round 2 and Round 3 card bundles. If the host wishes to avoid seeing them, a trusted person who is not playing may fold and insert those cards. The remaining kit will still arrive prepared without exposing the host to spoilers.
Spoiler-Free Version
With the Spoiler-Free (Party-Ready) Preparation Option, the Round 1, 2, and 3 clue & solution cards are professionally folded and inserted into their designated envelopes, allowing the host to prepare for and host the party without any fear of viewing the spoiler content.
Pre-game character materials are not inserted into envelopes. This allows the host to add the players' contact information on the task cards while they are still arranged in a convenient stack, rather than removing them from envelopes and reinserting them afterward.
Included Assembly in Both Versions
Certain materials are inserted into their designated envelopes in every boxed kit, when applicable. These may include:
- Blackmail notes and other special messages
- Victim signs
- Forensic reports
- Scavenger hunt materials
- Other game-specific surprise items
Keep each bundle of envelopes together according to its label, such as Round 1, Round 2, or Round 3. Some envelopes may already contain game-specific materials, even when the remaining cards still require insertion.
With the standard kit, if an item has already been placed inside a designated character’s envelope, tuck it inside that character’s folded clue card before returning the card to the envelope. This helps ensure the player sees the additional item when the round begins.
Envelopes Are Not Sealed
Envelopes are left unsealed in both versions. This allows the host to review or adjust the materials if necessary, such as when a guest cancels at the last minute, and the host needs to confirm that all vital characters remain assigned.
The host may seal the envelopes before gameplay, but sealing is optional.

If you are considering for a family fun night, a gift, girls night, etc. It is worth it!
My family enjoys games, thought this would be a great Christmas gift (Irish theme- who stole pot of gold). We did the dinner party this past weekend with a small group of close family. I made sure to oder the no-spoilers package for extra $ so as the host i wouldn't be excluded from the fun... and im happy I did. I gave myself plenty of time to prepare and review all items in the package/booklet. Note this is not ideal to throw together with little prep... make sure to plan.
This was a first time for all of us to attend a home party and the first time I ever hosted one. Some things I would have done differently, but thats mostly because it was my first time doing it and not knowing the flow of the game.
Overall the night was a success. Everyone arrive in character and was ready to dive right in. We included some themed food in the planning and made sure to take pictures of everyone as they arrived and throughout the night.
My family wants to continue to do this annually! Great way to spend time with the ones you love.
Thank you!

First time doing a mystery party and I wasn't sure how it would work out. The pre-game text messages really set the tone. We had a lot of fun with that. The story line and character personalities kept everyone involved. Everyone dressed as fairies or Leprechauns which was hilarious! We paused to enjoy our St Patrick's Day feast and played a few games for prizes. The finale had us all in stitches. It turned out to be a great night for everyone. I'm blessed to have such a fun and loving family. Will definitely do another party in the future! The writers are very talented and creative with their story line and characters. Thank you!!
