Our At Home murder mystery party games are an ideal way to relax with friends and family in your own house or in a venue of your choice such as a village hall. (Some customers have even run them on campsites or in a theatre.) We provide a comprehensive and high-quality party kit so you have everything that you need.
We have structured all of our murder mystery games so that the host or hostess can play a suspect along with their guests. There is admin work to do beforehand, but - on the night - there is very little to do except organise the food and enjoy the fun.
Our Host Instructions give you complete step-by-step instructions on how to host your own murder mysery game; they are attractively presented so that the information is easy to understand. We provide separate Host Instructions for each theme and separate instructions for At Home and Virtual games. See our Murder Mystery Party Kit page for more information.
The key to hosting a stress-free, fun murder mystery party lies in good planning. Get as much done in advance so you can relax and enjoy the game with your guests. Printing, home decorations, shopping, organising your own costume and making any make-ahead food should ideally be done before the day of the party.
Drinks should be chilled and your camera charged before guests arrive.
Some hosts like to create a theme-appropriate playlist to play as guests arrive and during the breaks for food.
Useful: send all guests a date and time reminder before the party. One tactful way to do this is to ask guests to RSVP their menu choices.
When playing in your own home, or in a venue, you can choose whether you eat in one room and go into a second room for the rounds - or whether you wish to play the rounds around the dinner table. Either option works fine.
Important safety note: this is just a game; as host, it is your responsibility to ensure that all guests are safe and behave in a safe way. In particular, NEVER allow guests to bring a real weapon into a party! Toy weapons should be treated in a safe way - for example, don't allow guests to swing wooden swords round!
