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.

    Like, We Loved It!

    I got this package for my husband's 31st birthday party (he was born in the 80s), and we all had so much fun! A week out, everyone started enjoying putting their costumes together and completing the easy, optional pre-game tasks. At the party, the game flowed easily and my friends & family had fun getting into character! Even the people who weren't as excited to do a Murder Mystery Party (compared to the people who were LOVING the idea) told me they had so much fun! We had a group of 14, and very few people in the group had spent quality time together before - this was totally fine, and a fun way for people in our life to bond!

    Awesome time

    We did this one for my daughters 16th birthday. She had 10 friends over. We had 9 females and 1 male, but we made it work. They were a little apprehensive about everything at first, but once they got going, my wife and I sat back and watched them and it was hilarious to watch. The only thing I wish is that the male and female roles were a little more flexible for something like this but it definitely didn’t hinder the fun everyone had.

    We purchased the 80’s murder mystery party for a evening with friends! Everyone really got into character and it was a very fun night! Easy scripts to follow and the evening flowed well by following the suggested timeline. This is our 4th party and we can’t wait to plan the next one!

    I hosted this party for my 30th birthday and everyone had an incredible time. The whole host packet was awesome—everything was easy to follow and plan. I loved all the characters and matching them to all my invitees’ personalities. I’m so impressed by how much thought and creativity was put into this game!! Thank you for an awesome night.

    Sooo fun!

    Our group was about 40 people ages 30ish to 60ish. Everyone loved it! I was asked several times to host one of these again next year. I recommend that the host go ahead and read everything to assign characters. Knowledge of character personalities helped me select the right people for each part. They were able to get into the character and had a blast!

    Lots of fun for teens

    Used the 80s Mystery kit with my Venturing Crew. Lots of fun! Everyone got into it and dressed up. They came in with low expectations, and left having a great night! Would play again.
