Murder Behind the Mirror Mystery Game Boxed Set
$159.95
A dark high society dinner party for a minimum of 10 players, ages 16 and up for difficulty. This is the boxed set version of the game. You'll have everything needed to play the game shipped to you with the kit - nothing needs to be downloaded. Select the party ready option above, and our staff will fold and slip the clue cards for rounds one, two, and three into the envelopes to prevent you from seeing spoilers on the round cards. If you do not select this option, you will have some assembly required with your kit. The download version is a different product and does not come with the party pack, as they are not seamless and materials should not be used together.
This dark mystery party contains horror and paranormal content (see the additional information section below). This game is a formal dinner party theme with intriguing twists and turns in a dark world behind the legendary Mirror of Daebub - an antique mirror rumored to have supernatural powers. In this theme's storyline, the players pass through to the other side of a mystical mirror and enter a dark world where their hidden identities, mostly malevolent, become known to everyone.

Nobody knows the reason, but the tycoon had second thoughts about his purchase and sold the magical mirror to an unknown buyer in the town of Nevermore – over two-thousand miles away.

SO much fun!
This game was an absolute blast! As the chose, I opted not to know the victim/murderer and I was given enough information for the game to still run smoothly. Although, I think I would’ve had just as much fun if I knew ahead of time. All the girls really got into character and I think that’s what made it so great. The instructions and having “rounds” really made the game flow smoothly. Can’t wait to do another one!

First Time Host, All Guests had a Killer Time
I hosted this game as a birthday gift for my friend and everyone who attended had a blast! The host guide was a lifesaver in helping to keep the flow of the game. If you’re a first time host, like I was, I’d highly recommend reading it over a few times before the party starts as there are a ton of small details to remember for each round of the game. It’d be nice if there were a couple suggested characters for the host to play so that they’re in a more hands off role… as I felt a bit frazzled trying to get my prompts across while still making sure the game was flowing properly. I’d recommend that the host choose an optional character if at all possible. Overall, hosting this game was a rewarding experience and I’ll definitely be doing it again!
