Always such a blast!
This is our 3rd murder mystery party I’ve hosted using this company and theirs are above the rest. I love how easy the game is so assemble and it’s much more interactive than others. We will definitely use again!

Fun Theme
I liked the attention to detail. It was a complete production with good instruction. I liked the choices of add on and the ability to have alternates that don’t effect the outcome. I look forward to playing it.

Murder Mystery Fun
There were 10 of us-we are a supper group that meets routinely and I decided to trying something different-the murder mystery-everyone got into-came dressed up and we had a blast. I did it short notice/decided and ordered on a Tuesday and dinner party on the Saturday. It was fantastic! Easy to follow-props we’re easy to do-fun had by all!

Wonderful Mystery!
We loved this mystery! Our guest total was 25, and only 6 players guessed the murderer correctly. We all agreed that the characters were well written. I chose to print all of my own material, and I was even able to participate as the hostess without knowing before the game who was murderer or how done it! ;) EVERYTHING you need to recreate a New Orleans pub is included (recipes, lingo, decor, etc) and as a NOLA native, it was very authentic. If you're looking for a fun Mardi Gras murder mystery, I highly recommend this one!
