Plot and Characters for this Western Murder Mystery Game
Host a great, rootin' tootin' game of wild west murder and mystery.
It's the American Frontier when The West was still wild. The town of Deadstone Creek is as corrupt as a rattlesnake's den. Murdering outlaws terrorise the stagecoaches. Cowboys and cattle ranchers are up to no good. And that new gold mine is just plumb shady.
In this wild western murder mystery party, no one is honest and violence is just a gunshot away.
The saloon's Cancan dancers swish their petticoats as loud explosions sound from behind the town's only bank.
Everyone rushes outside to find a hole in the rear bank wall and a fire in the General Store.
In the confusion, Belle Hawkes - a suspected member of a gunslinging outlaw gang - is sprung from jail.
Then - Deuce take it! - Marshal Westernby is shot. Plumb dead.
Law enforcers may be no better than the outlaws in this Old Western Whodunnit Party. Doggone treachery is afoot and the petticoated saloon girls know some secrets ...
Get a wiggle on and download this cowboy and outlaw murder mystery dinner party or party game and transport your family and friends back into the days of the wild, wild west where "Western Law" was the only law.

What a fabulous night.
So many laughs with everyone dressing up and getting into their Wild West character.
Instructions, downloads and support information was excellent, and communication brilliant with the company.
We are planning which one to do next.
Ps great value for money.

Had an absolute shootout of a time. The whole family loved it and what a twist. We all got dressed up and stuck in character all the way through. Would highly recommend.
Clare Wallace (verified owner) –
Rooting tooting good fun time at Kitty O Mara’s Saloon. Accusations, dancing, shootouts and enough suspects to keep us all guessing til the end! Would recommend. We played as a family with teens and adults.
Steve Phillippy (verified owner) –
Had a great time playing your game. Everyone came dressed for the part. We even had 2 girls learn the CanCan dance. No one guessed the murderers. I made my own invites and dressed them up using my cricut machine. See pic. I only wish the game booklets had everyone’s lines (ie not just the line before yours)as our actors kept losing their places and had to be reminded it was their turn. Other than that it was great.
Note from Maple Mystery Games: since the gentleman bought this game, we have added additional prompts for when players read the clues, have removed one of the red herrings and have also created some “optional extra clues” that guests can use or not as they wish to help them work out whodunnit.

What a rip-roaring, rooting-tooting night we had. Fantastically well-written script, superb props, great outfits by all. We were kept guessing right to the end whodunnit. Would highly recommend undertaking one of the evenings; fun all round. Thanks again.

What a fabulous evening of fun, intrigue, mystery & murder all set in the Wild West. Listen out for clues along the way .. & you may be the super sleuth. What better way to spend a fun evening with friends & get those little grey cells working with laughter along the way.

What a rip-roaring, cattle rustling evening.
Fantastic end to end fun. Great entertainment, great food, brilliant costumes and a fun bunch of people.
Highly recommend evening of murder and intrigue, even if I still haven’t managed to identify the murderer.
