Murder Mystery Game Synopsis:
In the quiet, fog-covered town of Noxhelm, an unassuming neighborhood known as Misty Oaks surrounds a house with an unspeakable past. Built during the 1920s on an ancient burial ground by the notorious Butcher of Noxhelm, Ripper House has allegedly claimed more than one hundred lives. Some of the victims are rumored to remain buried within the crawl spaces beneath the estate.
Visitors have reported flickering lights, slamming doors, unexplained noises, and other paranormal activity. Historical records warn that anyone who owns the property will be cursed with doom, despair, death, and destruction.
Ben and Brenda Biggs, along with their teenage daughter Merry, are the newest residents of 203 Moorgate Street. Unaware of the full extent of their home’s macabre history, the Biggs family has invited the residents of Misty Oaks to a housewarming party. The guests will include suspicious neighbors, former owners of Ripper House, town officials, law-enforcement officers, students, professionals, and residents with complicated histories of their own. Old grudges, family conflicts, criminal connections, concealed motives, and disturbing secrets have created tension throughout Noxhelm, but hopefully, this won't affect anyone's spirits at the party.

- Solution Materials
- Envelopes and Other Required Game Components

Some light assembly may be required with the standard version. For a spoiler-free, party-ready game, select the appropriate kit option above.

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.
