Grand Gatsby: 1920s Murder Mystery Party Game

what a wonderful night! We did my 65 birthday party. 20 people age 10 - 75. It was so fun. everyone loved it. then we did it with a group of 80 people at our club house. Both days were so fun. Easy to for everyone to follow and act through it. Here are some pictures from the birthday party.

Fun and for first time hosting a party like this. Everyone had lost of fun!

These Murder Mystery Parties have become the most anticipated event for my teen drama students each year and a tradition I will never stop hosting. My teens spend the entire season asking when the murder mystery night will be—and the excitement only grows. I’ve now hosted five, maybe 6, annual murder mysteries with groups of 70-75 teens, and this year—I'm at 110-120 students—so I am even hosting both a matinee and evening party- long day- but 120 at once is a bit too much drama for me- (at my house especially).

The Grand Gatsby Murder Mystery Script (including all three expansion packs), is the most recent one I have used. It is incredibly well written, flexible, and easy to scale—. The character backstories are rich and fun, giving every student something meaningful to play, and the Roaring ’20s setting is woven in so naturally that students truly learn about the era while performing. These teens BRING IT with the costumes- one of my favorite parts of each year is seeing the commitment to costumes they come up with & props. Always top-notch. I mean I am working with theater kiddos so their character commitment is high & they are a bit dramatic- but they LOVE for this tradition. THANK YOU for making this experience possible for them & creating memories they will have forever!

This Great Gatsby Murder Mystery was a blast- the costumes were incredible, the character commitment was next-level. The character backstories are rich and fun, giving every student something meaningful to play, and the Roaring ’20s setting is woven in so naturally that students truly learn about the era while performing. Our students absolutely thrive in these experiences. I’ve now hosted five murder mysteries with groups of 60+ teens at my home annually for 5 going on 6 years, and this year—we have 120 students—I'm having to host both a matinee and evening party so everyone gets a fair play and can enjoy.

Our annual murder mystery parties (all purchased from here- have become the most anticipated event of the year (for our teens) and a tradition I will never stop hosting. From the very get go of each new year- the entire season students ask when the murder mystery night will be—and the excitement only grows. It’s truly one of the highlights of our year.

Highly recommend!

Everyone at our party had so much fun! We're going to make this an annual event. As a host, the toolkit was AMAZING - easy to use, spelled everything out clearly, and even made very clear spoiler alerts allowing me to know how to host the event but also be able to participate myself without reading any of the solutions in advance. The character descriptions were amazing and clue packages were so fun to work through! Many different personalities (introverts & extroverts alike) were able to get right into the game and have a great time!

This was a great party. Lots of laughs but with a swanky vibe. Would definitely do this again.

I felt like it was a little chaotic being the host and being a character in the game, but ultimately everyone had the best time and I would definitely recommend this to anyone! We will certainly be doing it again!

This is not the first murder mystery that I have purchased from my mystery party.com
My teen and her friends dress up and get into character. It is extremely entertaining to watch. They are looking forward to the next mystery

Great idea and very detailed! We had 25 characters and it worked out great! All of our guests really enjoyed the theme and storyline.

We did this for our daughter’s 18th Birthday party. It was last minute because the other plan fell through. The instructions were simple and even though we purchased it the night before and it was our first time doing something like this everything went perfectly. It was a blast. All 23 kids got really involved. My daughter said it was here best birthday party ever.

We had an absolute blast! We used this for the welcome party for our wedding weekend with about 24 people. It was perfect for getting everyone to mingle, family and friends really got into character and the bonus challenge, and all weekend we could reference funny moments from the first day to continue on with the fun. This was our first time playing a murder mystery party and everything you need to host is in the host instructions, videos, or FAQs to make everything run seamlessly and customer service answers very quickly if you think you still need information. We are all talking about doing another one and I would 100% recommend my mystery party.

I got this package for my boyfriend’s 28th birthday party. He said he wanted a murder mystery theme, however, we had never done one before (let alone hosted one). I hosted the event, and chose not to do any of the characters so I could make sure everything ran smoothly. All of our friends are performers, and they COMMITTED! I was so thankful for the reviews for the packages, and if you’re hesitant about purchasing, take my word for it- it’s worth it! We will absolutely be purchasing more for the fun of it!

Everyone loved the 20s theme. I bought expansions packs 1 & 2, so that everyone could have a part. I made the mistake of giving myself a role, which I regretted. It was overwhelming to run the game with so many characters and play a main role. I was so busy that I didn’t really even get to visit with anyone. If you have a large party, make sure to just be the host/hostess. Otherwise, it was a great party.

Excellent party, so easy to host!

My friends group had a great time playing this game. It was quite a bit easier to solve than I thought it would be, I don't think anyone in my group didn't know who the killer was. Even still, it was a great mystery and I'd definitely recommend anyone give it a go.

Had my first murder mystery party and this was the perfect choice. Although hard to pick from so many cute themes! Loved how friendly directions were and everybody played their part perfectly. Decorating was so fun for me too. Our only confusion was the part when the script said lights went on and off, but nobody was told to shut them on and off….

Ordered this for my 25th birthday. We had 12 people and it was just so much fun!! Everyone dressed up and played their parts. So easy to use and they gave you everything you needed- from the game, to food ideas and drink ideas!! Would 100% recommend!!

I had this party in Feb 2020. It was SO much fun! I spent about a month getting ready, collecting props and decorating the house. Everyone who came still says they were so glad it was their final “hurrah” before the lockdowns. I actually kept the decorations up the whole year til I put up my Christmas stuff. Can’t wait to do another!

This theme was so much fun! It was my second murder mystery party and I know I will do a third. This game has more twists after the murderer is caught and it’s awesome! I highly recommend the mini game where each player has fake money. Players were able to gamble with and bribe other players and it really got people mingling. Everyone had a great time.

So many activities and so so much fun

One of the most fun experiences I have every had! I had the privilege of hosting this fabulous event and was so surprised at how into the characters everyone got! I loved that the host can participate just as much as the guests, and even I didn't know who the murder was until the end of the night! Fan Favorite, and will definitely be hosting another one soon!

I hosted a luau party from this site, and my 18 year old daughter saw how much fun everyone had and decided to host this party for her friends before everyone leaves for college in a couple of months. When her guests started to arrive, we were amazed at how seriously everyone took their roles! My daughter was able to manage the timeline and the host responsibilities without any assistance even though it was her first mystery party. Make sure to read all the directions first! She did forget to manage round three correctly, but the guests didn't seem to mind. They are already planning their next mystery!

We ordered the no spoiler kit and wow what an awesome time! As a host I played along and truly enjoyed myself. Everyone kept saying for weeks after when is the next one. We will host another one for sure.

Everyone had a great time.

This is the 3 or 4 game I've purchased from you

We purchased "The Grand Gatsby" for our daughter's 17th birthday party. We only had 5 days to throw the whole thing together (which I would not recommend). It was a lot of hard work but it was one of the best parties we have ever thrown! We sent out the pre-party activity the morning of the party, which got everyone ready to play their roles. Everyone came dressed in costumes and ready to have fun. The variety and details about each of the characters gave everyone a chance to be involved and ham it up as much as they wanted. The instructions were very detailed which made them a bit tedious, but once I had read everything and got it all laid out and organized it really wasn't that bad, and the party came off without a hitch! I would highly recommend this murder mystery for your party.

I bought “The Grand Gatsby” for our church small group to play. It was so easy to follow and put together, and I love that I could play and be just as surprised at the ending as everyone else! I was nervous because I’ve never been a part of or hosted a murder mystery before. I couldn’t have picked a better one!
