Description

Hosting this super silly '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.  You must use Adobe Reader (free software that you can download at Adobe.com) to view the PDF file, as a PDF is an Adobe product.  

Format: this is a traditional, mingling, clue-based game (downloadable version) for in-person groups. For virtually-formatted games that are ideal for video chat platforms, click here. 

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:

Polly Abdool is throwing a totally tubular VIP album release party for her best friend and international pop icon, Debbie Gribson! Hosted at an exclusive Beverly Hills hotspot, this glitzy soirée is in honor of Debbie’s brand-new album Eclectic Youth! But that’s not all. Debbie is also launching a signature fragrance line by the same name, which is essentially glamour, gossip, and glitter in a crystal bottle. The guest list? Bodacious. It's stacked with Hollywood elites, chart-topping icons, and fashion-forward yuppies who will kill the red carpet with gnarly shoulder pads, hair teased to the max, and stilettos sharp enough to slice through a glam band power ballad. And guess what? You received an invitation! But as you scan the guest list, you want to gag yourself with a spoon.  A few names spark more dread than delight. Old flames. Bitter rivals. Two-faced posers with killer cheekbones and sharper tongues. Whatever! You’re going, anyway. This is where your story begins.

    We got this and the first expansion pack for a 30th birthday party. It got everyone to mingle and chat. The characters were great and only 1 person solved the mystery! Will definitely get other games

    Great time at a Work Teambuilding event

    We used this game plus one expansion pack for an afternoon team building session. The pre-game tasks really got people into character and we saw nearly 75% of the people in costume on the day of the event. Even the people that were not initially excited really got into it. We can't wait for our next event. Great product. Lots of laughs had by all.

    Wow! Super fun time!

    Everybody got involved, the costumes were great and the mystery was difficult enough that only 4 of the 20 guests got it right. This was my third party from this company and all have been great - all very different from each other too.
