A wildly entertaining zombie murder mystery party game set during the Undead Festival in newly quarantined Zombie Town. This offbeat Halloween mystery is filled with eccentric undead residents, government threats, pumpkin-based cuisine, political tension, suspicious histories, growing civil unrest, outrageous personalities, suppressed cravings, and murder amid the festival mayhem.
Zombie Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:
Only three weeks ago, Sunnyville was overwhelmed by the H5N1 Zombie Virus. The CDC quarantined the town while government officials quietly contained the outbreak by distributing a vaccine to the surrounding human population. Sunnyville has since become Zombie Town, home to decomposing—but otherwise familiar—citizens who must remain separated from the living because of their relentless appetite for human flesh.
When news of the outbreak escaped government control, the Save a Zombie Alliance pressured officials to negotiate with the undead. Ashes, the self-appointed Emperor of Zombie Town, is now working toward a peace treaty with the U.S. President: the zombies will remain inside the border, and humans who ignore the warning signs will enter at their own risk.
Pumpkins provide the zombies with nourishment, but they do little to silence their cravings. With frustration and civil unrest spreading through town, Ashes has organized the Undead Festival to restore morale with pumpkin-inspired food, music, and zombie games. You are a resident of Zombie Town preparing to join the celebration—but the festival is about to become far deadlier than planned. This is where your story begins.

We just had our Zombie Murder Mystery Party! It was easy to follow with twists on who’s the killer and victim. My group enjoyed dressing up and acting out the fun characters. We had the decorations up and zombie themed food to eat! I bought the already made pack which made it easy for me to play and host the party at the same time and not spoiling who the killer or victim was. This was our second murder mystery party and will be hosting another murder mystery party again with this company!
