We really enjoyed the swinging 60s murder mystery. The pack was really easy to follow and it made for a lot of fun and a lot of laughs!
Jo (verified owner) –
We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and would 100% recommend. The pack contains all you need and more gives a fantastic evening and made it very easy to host. We had so much fun – thank you!
sarah searle (verified owner) –
We played “Who Killed Pearly Pearl” with 5 other households over Zoom! It was great fun, even if I did play the wrong audio at the beginning ♀️.. we all loved the characters and would highly recommend.
Kayleigh Blake (verified owner) –
Murder in the swinging 60s was great. We did it via zoom; I sent everyone their packs via WhatsApp and it ran so smoothly, despite not all being in the same room!
If anything, doing a socially distant version has just made us want to do another when we are allowed together again!
We played as a group of 12 and even on zoom the efforts made with costumes made the night! Thank you Maple Mystery Games!
Briony Vincent (verified owner) –
We did the sixties murder mystery over zoom yesterday and it was absolutely excellent!!! We had such a groovy time, easy to follow and so much fun together. Perfect for an evenings entertainment during lockdown – everybody got thoroughly involved and had a fab time!
Chris Whitehead (verified owner) –
This was our 2nd Murder Mystery with this Maple and we had another blast. The only problem was we could not play the solution at the end. Eventually we got it to work but it kindof put the the fun night on hold. We did not have this problem the first time so I am not sure what happened.
Note from Maple Mystery Games: we believe this was due to the gentleman not unzipping the audio files before playing. (The audio files are just MP3s and so are standard files.) We have therefore now provided two – unzipped – audio file downloads so that this problem will not happen in the future. We also do provide a printed hard copy of both the Introduction and the Solution in case of any last-minute issues.

Absolutely wonderful evening had by all! We did this as a surprise Zoom party for our parents’ birthdays and it was brilliant! Some really eccentric characters and a really fun theme. We didn’t stop laughing! Thank you for an evening we’ll never forget!
Andrea (verified owner) –
We had such a laugh. Everyone got into character. Lots of fun. The process was easy to follow, even on a virtual format in these whacky times. Will definitely do another. Thanks guys. X

Was such good fun, whole family dressed up and got into character. All done via Zoom. Cannot wait to do another one!
