Very clear instructions
We have never done a murder mystery party and so not sure what to expect. Everyone came in costume and kept their characters for the most part of the evening. All in all, everyone had a great time and I would definitely do another one. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow.

Fun for NYE
We used the game on NYE with adult and teens. It was fun and quite interactive. It gave a fun focus to the evening. There was a lot of preparation for the host.

Great game for NYE!
Bought this game to play on NYE and it was a lot of fun! We had eight players of all age ranges and the game flowed well. When the victim was revealed it was hilarious. If you are looking for something interactive to do that gets everyone engaged then look no more!
