Once upon a time, there was a faraway land called the Enchanted Realm. The people of the land got along harmoniously for many centuries...that is, until Queen Black gained control of the Silver Tree Forest. It was not long before happy endings turned into nightmares, as the ruling Kingdom of Gullyshire suffered repeated attacks, and the villains began to gain control. The mystic mountains filled with nefarious monsters and were no longer safe, and wicked witches took over the charmed forest. Queen Black has shocked the realm and has invited all of the territories to the Dark Castle of the Silver Tree Forest to sign a peace treaty. She may have evil intentions, but nonetheless, you have been invited by Queen Black, and this is where your story begins.

I recently purchased this Once Upon a Fairy Tale murder mystery for my 14-year-old daughter's birthday party. It was a blast! Her and her friends had tons of fun. I did not follow the menu that came with but rather developed our own menu and found mocktail's (such as evil princess mocktail) for the girls to drink. Will definitely recommend this site and your parties. Unknown on Dec 1st 2020

We used this murder mystery party as a kick off to one of our youth group. The participants had a blast! Unknown on Sep 13th 2019
This was for my daughter's 15th birthday party for a group of required characters +1. The kids had such a great time with the game and are already asking when the next game will be. A few pointers I learned that I would pass along: 1) Get the pre-printed kit. Yes, it is more expensive, yet I spent so much time. 2) If it is your first time hosting, relax, it is much easier than the pages and pages of materials imply. 3) Do not do the minigames initially as everyone said they wished they had more time to just play the game and understand it. Maybe for a second party, but the first one the main game was enough. 4) You don't need to go over the top to have a blast. We did, and also had a blast, yet when we do it again, simple will be just fine. 5) If the kids are really into it and want to do more, consider hosting, but having the kids pay a fee to offset the cost of the pre-printed game and food. This way, they can have more parties without the host going broke! 6) This was an awesome way to help kids focus and have fun during a party, especially when they are from all walks of life, including school, drama club, sports, etc. Each kid is playing a character and they are forced to engage with others in specific ways, so the awkwardness of mingling is quickly dissipated, and the craziness of teenagers is redirected into something fun!
