Murder Mysteries - Printable Games

3.1 Printing Double-Sided Booklets

For printers that support double-sided printing, it's easy-peasy to print the host instructions, pre-party and party booklets:

1 Select Booklet

2 Open Properties Tab 

5 Click OK to close the Properties tab and then click "Print". The printer will now arrange the pages to be in the correct order once the booklets are folded.

6 Once printed, staple twice down the middle and fold down the middle.

That's it! Very easy. No cutting and pasting required!

Tip: to save time, we often set all pre-party and party booklets to print and then staple and fold them one by one at the end.

3.2 Printing Single-Sided (Easiest Method)

Many customers just print on A4 paper without trying to make a booklet. (American and Canadian customers use Letter paper or P4 paper.) The end result is not as neat - but it is the quickest and easiest solution.

Important Tip: our Party Booklets, Pre-Party Booklets and Host Booklets have all been designed to print TWO pages of content per physical sheet of paper. Simply selecting the print options below will halve the amount of paper you need!

1 Use Multiple setting.

2 With the Pages per sheet dropdown, select 2.

3 With the Orientation radio buttons, select Portrait.

4 Click Print.

5 Staple

Optionally, you may cut into A5 sheets and then staple into an A5 booklet.

3 Print and then - keeping pages printed side up but in reverse order (page 4, 3, 2 and then 1) - place pages back in printer.

4 Select Booklet.

5 For the "booklet subset" dropdown, select the "Front side only" dropdown.

6 Click "Print".

7 Once printed, staple twice down the middle and fold down the middle. 

Tip: printing the back side of the sheets then the front side means they end up in the right order to be stapled.

4 Party Printables for Each Murder Mystery Game

For each murder game, your party pack has optional theme-specific printables so that you have some easy decorations for your party space and table. Examples include themed:

• Posters
• Slang relating to the murder mystery
• Other theme-specific printouts such as crate labels (for a speakeasy) or record labels (Swinging Sixties and 70s Disco)
• Wine labels
• Internal room signs
• External signs
• Dinner table place settings
• Menus

All are designed to be attractive without having large swatches of bold, saturated colours that will guzzle your ink. For example, we reduce the amount of ink needed by lightening the backgrounds of some printouts or using a white background with a small border.

All printouts will print onto A4 paper; some themes also offer an additional version of menus and invitations in a smaller A5 size.
