Synopsis
The Greatest Show on Earth is a company of traveling performers including clowns, acrobats, musicians, and dancers. The Big Top show is accompanied by a carnival of thrilling rides, games of chance, and sideshow acts such as a wax museum, walk-through exhibits, and awe-inspiring stunts. Max A. Million’s hosting a debut party for the first funfair in the dismal town of Deadwood Valley, but is having a difficult time bringing this eclectic group of misfits together. Nobody gets along and scandals are brewing behind every corner. Max has made it mandatory for all employees to attend this festive gathering under the Big Top, so you don’t have a choice but to dust off your best party attire.

Lots of Laughter
This was the third party I’ve purchased. We played as a family and all ages from mid-70’s to early 20’s ( with one 10 year old thrown in) and everyone had a great time. The instructions are spot on. I love that talking points are given, but not a script to read so conversations flow naturally. I hosted so I threw myself in as carnival staff so I had a reason to be getting food on the table and organizing. The circus theme was a hoot. So much work went in to costumes. Everyone looked great. The party was well worth the money and the family memories were priceless.

The Greatest Murder Party to Date!
I've attended several murder mystery parties, but this was my fist time hosting. I was beyond nervous, but the download walked me through everything I needed to do as a host and everything was able to be done without spoiling the mystery to me as the host. I plan on doing more of these, probably two or three a year. I was so impressed by how simple they really were to coordinate and how much fun everyone had as a result!

Great mystery choice with only 6 characters needed
I chose this game because there aren't many to choose from when you only have 6 adults to play - but it was a fantastic hit! I especially appreciated that the "Table of Contents" in the file alerted which pages contained spoilers so I could host the party without having to know the solution ahead of time. Everyone had a blast - definitely recommend! *One suggestion for an in-game activity: I had everyone answer 5 questions in character beforehand (things like favorite movie, favorite song, favorite car) - then at the party, guests had to try to guess which character gave which answer. People were very creative and it helped build everyone's character leading up to the event.

So much fun!
My friends and I had so much fun playing this game. I loved how versatile the group could be in terms of size and gender. The circus theme was unique and all the clues added up without being too obvious. Would definitely recommend this!

Big Top is Big Fun!
My friends and I are big fans of this site. We've played several of their games. We loved this circus themed game. I hosted it at a gymnasium to make it extra realistic. I played Starr and with the pregame was able to make the character my own as well as interact before the party with the other characters. Each character was fun to play. My guests and I are already planning our next one in three weeks. Love, love, love!!!
