A MURDER MYSTERY FOR EVERY OCCASION
Six ways your group could spend an unforgettable evening
Birthday party
Make the birthday person the star of the case — heir to a mysterious vineyard, lead suspect at a Gatsby gala, or detective at their own surprise party. Inside jokes and real relationships become story material.
Hen / Stag party
A scandal-filled Vegas casino, a Hollywood awards-night murder, or a 1920s speakeasy raid. Build the cast around the bride or groom and the wedding party — let the AI handle the drama.
New Year's Eve
Replace small talk with a real reason to gather. A snowed-in lodge, a closing-night theater murder, or a black-tie masquerade — solve it together as midnight approaches.
Reunion or club night
Old friends, a wine club, a sports team, classmates ten years later. Build the cast around shared history — running jokes, old rivalries, the one who left town — and let everyone slip back into roles they never had.
Team building
A real alternative to the same five corporate games. Co-workers play characters with secrets, motives and goals — and have to actually communicate to solve the case. Works for 4 to 14+.
Family game night
Pick a family-friendly tone — cozy whodunnit, modern adventure, or theatrical comedy. Every age plays their own character, with their own clues, in their own way.
