How do you organise an easy murder mystery party?

You want your murder mystery night to be a simple (simple to organise that is). Also, "I want my mystery game to be the best", I hear you say, and rightly so. If you are going to the effort of organising a dinner game for friends and family then you want your dinner to be outstanding.

It is a little different to organise a private murder mystery game at home than to organise corporate murder mystery games but the principles are the same. You need to pick a date and time for the night, select and book a venue, select a theme, purchase a game, send out invites, collect RSVPs, find a host, organise decorations, arrange food, set up the party, arrange music, run the dinner and have a great time.

What about decorations?

Props are not essential but setting up your venue like a 1920s speakeasy or a wild west saloon will definitely help your guests have a great time. Your décor can be as simple as playing a themed movie (with no sound) on the TV or you can go all out with the decorations. When you host a murder mystery night, your game will provide a comprehensive list of easy to organise decorations to make theming your dinner easy and very effective. To make planning straight forward, each game comes with a guide to planning your dinner.

What about the murder mystery party invite?

Our company provides all mystery party invitations in electronic form. This makes it super easy to invite your friends. Just fill in the blanks and then print or email your invitations.

What about murder mystery party characters?

With all the murder mystery games we have set it up so you don't need to allocate characters until the actual event. This is our recommended method and we do this because we know how unpredictable life is. It is very rare that you will run a night where everyone attends. Kids get sick, baby sitters cancel, on the night people forget or come late so you need a flexible method for allocating characters. We recommend that you send out the invites and just give people an idea of what to wear rather than saying "you will be Ruth Less". It is amazing how often the person that can't make it was going to be the murderer or the victim. So in short, you allocate the characters on the night to whoever is there. This guarantees the game will work and your guests will have a celebration.

The other benefit of not pre-allocating characters is that guests can use their flare and get excited about the night. It is for this same reason that we don't recommend making it a surprise party because people love the anticipation and excitement.

Can I hold a virtual murder mystery party?

Can I host a murder mystery birthday party?

A mystery birthday party is one of the most common reasons people purchase our games.
