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.

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! Unknown on Oct 28th 2020
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. Unknown on Aug 3rd 2020
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! Unknown on Oct 9th 2019
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!!! Darcy on Jan 21st 2019
