Description

A 1920's Murder Mystery Party game for 8-12 players - 8 required and 4 optional. The roaring twenties murder mystery party game is set at the height of prohibition on the 1920's Boardwalk at the Karlton Ritz Hotel.  This is the instant download upon purchase version of the game - no waiting, no shipping fees. Easy to host, easy to prepare.  If you'd rather have the boxed set, click on the link to have our staff prepare your kit below, under helpful links.

There are four PDF files to download with this game - a host instruction file, printable file, solution key, and an optional free invitation file. You must use Adobe Reader (free software that you can download at Adobe.com) to view the PDF, as a PDF is an Adobe product.

Gifting: the standard game license does not allow transfers, so you cannot purchase a download as a gift. For gifts, click here for gift certificates, or use the link below for the boxed version of the game (party pack).

Murder Mystery Synopsis:

It's 1927, and the mob scene is thriving in major cities across the United States. Rum-running, loan sharking, protection rackets, speakeasies, and gaming halls are all flourishing. To achieve supremacy as a unified crime faction, crime bosses from Atlantic City, New York City, and Chicago have decided to establish The Commission during a gathering known as the Atlantic City Conference. This governing body will oversee all mob organizations in the country.

Opinions vary on how The Commission should be run and who should be the boss of all bosses. Some high-ranking officials are strongly opposed to the idea, leading to preemptive hostility. Nonetheless, the crime bosses have agreed to conduct themselves with integrity at the conference, enforcing an unbreakable truce.

Nuggy Jones from Atlantic City has agreed to host the conference at his residence and place of business, the Karlton Ritz Hotel on the Boardwalk. Mobsters from the biggest families will soon arrive in Atlantic City. This is where your story begins.

    Our group had a great time

    This party was so well organized and meticulous to the last detail. I loved the guest site - it really added a bunch of excitement before the party. I'm so happy with the game and this company, who responded within the hour when I emailed them. Next time, I will get the party ready pack, however, as I've heard from friends it's the way to go if you have the budget for it. Bravo, guys, can't wait to host another one

    We had so much fun with this party and were amazed by the amount of detail the authors included in the clues/instructions.
