Cari Batch –
Great party instructions. Very detailed to make the party successful. We had the whole family ages 11 to 67. We used the decorations suggested from the instructions and added some. We all dressed in our characters and read the lines in the booklets. Lots of printing but it made it all worth it.
Rachele O’Loane (verified owner) –
This was a great way to celebrate the 60th birthday for a few members of our group. We had 10 guests and included dinner. Everyone had a blast getting into character and the scripts really brought the characters to life. This download comes with tons of great printables and is easy to follow. It does take a little time to prep, however. The company was wonderful to work with. My party got very pushed back and the company quickly resent the audio files that I needed for our evening. Did I say we had a blast?!!
Helen Marsh (verified owner) –
We have done a few murder mysteries but we particularly enjoyed this one for having a script. As others have said, printing out beforehand is quite time consuming and there is a lot to print. But on the evening, once we got the hang of it, the script worked really well!
There are funny elements included too which had us all in stitches!
Definitely recommend and looking now at the other MM they do.
Carol Meinecke (verified owner) –
So much fun! It did take some time to print everything but I appreciated all the extra touches.
Once we got the hang of the script, it went smoothly.
Our group did a murder mystery last year that was more ad lib. We all agreed we liked having our lines written for us.
By the way, we are all women.

I held the Murder in the Swinging 60s night as part of my birthday celebrations with a group of 9 people. The planning and the running of the night was great fun. I loved the fact that no-one knew who the murderer was until the end – in fact not one person guessed correctly. It was also good that you could just read lines and didn’t have to ad-lib unless you wanted to. Everyone made a real effort with their costumes and the whole evening was a great success. I would definitely run another one.

Our book group recently did the Murder in the Swinging 60’s murder mystery. We had a great time! The guidance on character profiles, dress etc was useful and we managed to get through the script in record time. However, there was a lot of pre party organisation! Just reading individual scripts doesn’t make sense if you need an overview, so I compiled a complete script for all characters, which wasn’t shared with individuals, but proved very useful when trying to organise the event and allocate parts. Would do another party in the future.
Note from Maple Mystery Games: our games are designed so that the host does not need to have an advance overview of the action but can enjoy playing a character on an equal footing with the other guests. All characters receive an overview of the mystery and of their role in their Pre-party Booklets and the host also receives a separate brief overview of characters in the Host Instructions.

Great fun! Enjoyed by everyone! Good characters, information and party ideas. Thank you!

Hello, this is Maureen Kimber from New Zealand, better late than never, contacting you to thank you for the Swinging 60s Murder Mystery that we so enjoyed. This was our groups 4th murder mystery evening, but our first with your company, and we found yours to be the easiest and most user friendly than any of the other murder mystery games. We played the whole evening out with nibbles to start off, then a main dinner course break plus a desert break. All the players joined in the spirit of the evening and a lot of us recalled the era as if it was yesterday. The photo shows some of us posing and some others were camera shy!!!
Ben Swedholm (verified owner) –
We loved this murder mystery from beginning to end!!
Ashley (verified owner) –
Thank you so much for creating these games. As the host, the packages were so easy to follow and gave me great ideas to work with. I love the fact that the host can join in and play and still be unaware of the murderer. We loved dressing up and had a great laugh at all the characters in the story. Will definitely be doing this again.
