'80s Murder Mystery Game
Like, totally! Hosting this super silly, in-person (face-to-face traditional mingling format) '80s murder mystery party will result in a hilarious evening for 8-18+ players, ages 14+. 40 unique players with both expansion packs (17F, 20M, 3E), can be expanded to over 70 guests (see below for how to host a large party with this game). This is the instant download upon purchase version of the game - no waiting, download instantly, and there's nothing to ship, so you avoid shipping fees! Easy to host, easy to prepare. For the boxed version, scroll down to the link below 'helpful links,' and let our staff prepare your game kit for you.
For a night of glam rock, pop icons, Mogwai scandals, vampire bats, and Rubik's cubes, this is the game for you! Warning: this game is lighthearted and not to be taken seriously, as it's all about the Radical Eighties with a fun spin on things to make your players laugh all night!
There are four PDF files to download with this game - a host instruction file, printable file, solution key, and an optional free invitation file.

Great idea, used it as a surprise party for my daughter and she loved it.
Excellent product, flawless execution

The best Halloween party idea!
This was SUPER FUN! We were a group of 30somethings geeking out over the fun characters. I'm the gamer of the group and so I was wildly surprised with how showed up in full character outfits and stayed in their persona all evening. This was such a big hit, my friends have asked if we could do murder mystery parties more often, so we're doing the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta murder this May!! MyMysteryParty really does a great job of organizing a fun game to make it easy for a newbie to host. I had my mom fill our envelopes for us so I could play along. In the end, only 2 or 3 people out of 11 guessed correctly who the murderer was.

Excellent
We had such a great time with this party. I invited friends from college, and we all graduated in the 80s. It was a lot of fun!! Would highly recommend this one.

80s murder mystery
Our whole party had a blast, definitely in the top 5 best New years parties we've thrown. Instructions and whole package were top notch. Can't wait for our next one we're going for the western gravestone.

80's Murder Mystery
I love all the murder mysteries I have bought They are a lot of fun, and I love all the different characters. I host these at work when we do an employee day and everyone has so much fun. It is nice to see co-workers enjoying their day, laughing and sharing with each other. Great office party idea.

80s party
We had a great time playing this game. This is our second murder mystery party from this company and we were just as pleased with this set.

Totally tubular!!
Threw this one for my office party and it was an instant hit!! We had participants of all age ranges 17 to 55 and everyone fit in perfectly. The night flowed smoothly and everyone left super stoked for another one! Would highly recommend!

Saved a rainy summer preteen sleepover!
I cannot say enough about this product. The day before our daughter’s 12th birthday party (a sleepover) the forecast changed to 100% rain all day. Our plan had been swimming, bonfire and outdoor movie for 14 preteens. You can imagine I was stressed when the plans changed. I purchased the download from the site, read all the materials and made name tags. I was worried that the girls wouldn’t know who the characters were, so I printed images and attached it to the name tags. This was 3 hrs of solid entertainment! We didn’t play games between because they couldn’t wait to get to the next part. I can’t wait to order another version and use all the extras that are provided for pre-party.
