Super fun
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.
