Hatter's Ball | A Murder Mystery Game
A Hatter's Ball murder mystery party game for 8-18+ guests, ages 14 and up due to difficulty. Characters are flexible gender, so this game may be played co-ed, all female or all male. This is the instant download version of the game - easy to prepare and host - and, you avoid the wait and shipping fees, as there's nothing that needs to be shipped. For the party ready pack, click on the link below in the helpful links section. This game was created for hosts who loved Bloodwood Masquerade Ball so much, they requested another with the same characters! The characters are jumbled up in order and placed into a new mystery for you to solve!
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).
Note: the setting of the game is the Hatter's Ball, but the characters are not inspired by Wonderland characters - they are the characters from Bloodwood Masquerade.

Murder Mystery Synopsis:
The neighborhood socialites have touted the Hatter’s Ball as the bash of the year in the isolated town of Bloodworth Falls. Mayor Riley White has organized the event in the old Bloodwood Castle as a diversion from the scandals that have plagued the town in recent months. Of course, it’s no coincidence the ball is scheduled right before the upcoming mayoral election.
The mayor posted the invite list online, and your adversaries have already sent in their RSVPs. You’re intrigued and have decided you cannot miss an opportune moment to seek revenge on those who have crossed you in the past. Now, you are on a hunt for the perfect hat. This is where your story begins.
If you wish to host this (or any other) game for profit, you will need a commercial license - click here.

Fun!!
My 15 year old daughter did this party for 8 girls. They all dressed up and wore hats and had a great time. It was simple to follow and everyone loved that someone died in the second act. We have purchased other murder mysteries parties but this one was by far the least complicated and easiest to follow. The plot line was easy to follow but still left room for the characters to put their own flare to it. Would highly recommend I especially for first time party goers and large groups (but was just as much fun for a small group)!

Amazing game, amazing company
First impressions were just awesome - Nancy was very helpful with my sluggish decisions and tons of questions. They have excellent customer service. Second, the game was amazing - me and my friends had the best time. SO sticking with these guys - customer for life.

Wow!
My guests went ALL OUT with this party and we had a blast figuring out whodunit! Now all of my friends think they're Sherlock Holmes ;-) Thanks for putting together such a wonderful party. Rita from Houston
