Mystery Synopsis
You received a mysterious invitation to an escape room party. The party address is a leased vacation home, so the host could be anyone in the fog-covered town of Noxhelm’s Crossing. You have no idea who invited you, but you are familiar with everyone on the guest list. The invitation says you will work as a team to escape the room before time runs out. You’ve always wanted to challenge yourself by solving a timed mystery in a room filled with puzzles, riddles, and codes.
You are intrigued by the host's choice of guests, as these are the most ambitious yet scandalous people in town. Putting this combination of powerful personalities into an intense scenario may have deadly consequences.
Nevertheless, you’ve always considered yourself a daring person who loves a challenge. You have decided to attend this adventure.
This is where your story begins.
In addition to the intriguing murder mystery instant download, you will have access to a site with instructions on how to set up your own escape room.
You can set it up with printable materials and common household items or be as elaborate as you wish - we'll give you the instructions on DIY and you can set it up however you wish!
If you wish to host this game for profit, you will need a commercial license or provide us with your 501C ID for a charity fundraiser- click here.

Fun but more work on host
My daughter and her friends have done several murder mysteries from My Mystery Party. They are lots of fun and easy to host. When we picked the Escape Room, I assumed it would again require minimal planning. However, the escape room portion is not scripted and requires quite a bit more work. It was fun and added a nice twist but it definitely takes more planning and set up (we spent several hours planning and setting up the escape room). The murder mystery portion is shortened a bit since you have the added escape room portion. All in all - very fun but a lot more work to host!

So much fun!
This was so fun. It was better than any other we have played. The escape room added such a great excitement. It was not hard at all to set up. I wish they had more of these!!

So much fun!!
What a great night! There were yet 6 of us but it was so much fun! The instructions were easy to follow and there were some great ideas for the escape room. I would absolutely recommend this escape room Murder mystery dinner! Epic!

Great way to spend an evening with friends!
We used the download version of this game, and it has everything we needed to have a great party. None of us had done one before, so it was new to all of us, but the instructions really walked us through and made for a wonderful time with friends!

Lots of Fun!
We had a group of 8 players, 6 of them were 13 year old girls. None of us had done a murder mystery party before so we didn't know what to expect. Everyone had a great time. Mingling at the beginning of each round took us a bit of time, but we ended up sharing as a group and it didn't ruin anything.

A great birthday party for a teen!
I'm not sure who had more fun with this--my 15-year old daughter and her friends or me! I had a blast "constructing" the Escape Room portion of this party, and the mystery portion was well laid-out and easy to manage. We're looking for another excuse to have another party, and we'll definitely use mymysteryparty.com again.

well prepared kit (download version)
The kit gave enough information to prepare your own escape room, and also provided suggestion so that if you are creative you can add your own touches to the escape room. The murder mystery posed a challenge to many guest, although not elusive to all. One person was able to figure out the 'whodunnit' with the clues provided. I would strongly consider buying from this company again if in need of a murder mystery.
