Murder Mystery Synopsis:
The most highly anticipated VIP party in Las Vegas is almost here! The Cosmo Casino & Resort is set to host a world class soiree for celebrities, news media, and a few Vegas locals that were lucky enough to score tickets. Some of the most prominent figures of our time will be in attendance and this will certainly be a night to remember. However, there is a situation.
The city of Las Vegas has been terrorized by a serial killer with an MO of attending VIP events held on the strip. The killer, known as the Sin City Slayer, chooses victims from unsuspecting party guests. The Las Vegas police are currently working with federal agencies to catch this deranged predator. Hopefully, the killer doesn’t have a ticket to this event. This is where your story begins.
How to Host a Large Party:
- 18 unique players from the main game.
- 12 unique players from expansion pack #1 (purchased separately)
- 8 unique players from expansion pack #2 (purchased separately)
- Up to 15 paparazzi expandable duplicate players to play with Reagan Paratzy (expansion pack #1, purchased separately)
- Up to 15 Monster Muggies Cast member expandable duplicate players to play with Logan Mack (expansion pack #2, purchased separately).
The expandable players are not unique story lines, but rather are supporting players for Reagan Paratzy & Logan Mack. They will, however, have duplicate clue cards each round, they mingle each round like everybody else, and they still guess whodunit. The only difference is that they will not have a unique story line. These players are great for shy/reserved players, last minute RSVPs &/or adult guests who may consume a few too many cocktails.

Great New Year's Party
Our party was a total success! Everyone had a great time!! Decorated the house as a casino and played BlackJack and Roulette for additional fun. Just want to mention, as the host, it is hard to avoid knowing information while cutting and preparing guests clues from the download version. The main issue is that no matter what level of difficulty is purchased the first 8 characters are required and the remaining characters are optional so you know the optional characters are not the victim or murderer. This is only an issue for the host. As the host, who wanted to participate, I tried very hard to avoid knowing character names and where they were listed on the invite list before the game. Next time I would have some one else that doesn't know this information cut the clues.

Sin City Slayer
Well organized, easy to follow game. Lots of laughs and tons of fun. I reached out to costumer service a couple times. They were very helpful and always quick to reply to me! We will definitely do this again

So much fun!
Everything was laid out great! We had 38 guests so we purchased both expansion packs. Everyone had a blast and really got into character. Only thing is since this game expands so big it would have been great if there were more "required" characters, but still AWESOME!

Great
Really great experience. PDFs given were very straightforward. Would most likely purchase additional on another occasion or recommend to others.

Fun and entertaining
This was a fun Murder Mystery! We decorated the whole house like a casino. When guests arrived we took a Polaroid picture of each individual and had them pin the photo up on a bulletin board next to their character name. The bulletin board was a great reference so everyone knew who's who. We didn't do any of the mini-games and still had a blast. No one guessed the murderer in the end. It wasn't very obvious but this was still a very fun event.

New Years Eve party
I ordered this for our New Year's Eve party. We did one last year and our friends are still talking about what a great time they had. Can't wait to do a Vegas theme. Product is very easy to follow along with and suggestions for games and food. Will continue to come back for future mystery dinner games.

Engagement Party Pleaser
We decided to have our engagement party as a murder mystery. We ended up using the 2nd expansion as well, with about 25 people involved. It was so good to see everyone remain in character and play the game. Since this was our first murder mystery we were able to see what we would change for next time. With so many people, we should have allowed for a lot more time in between rounds. When it came time to guess the killer, no one actually got it, so kudos to the actual killer for being so sneaky. Overall a fantastic evening.

Awesome party!
Everything went smoothly and we had a great time. People really took on their personas and did their own background research, which was fun.
