Murder Mystery Synopsis:
Ivanna Katenka, the enigmatic airport security clerk with a flair for the extraordinary, is hosting an exclusive wine-tasting party at her cozy home in the quaint town of Gladerock. Known for her impeccable taste in wine and her ability to craft a tranquil, inviting atmosphere, Ivanna’s gatherings are nothing short of legendary. But this time, there’s a twist—since the last get-together, whispers of scandal and intrigue have rippled through this circle of friends.
Despite the tension lingering in the air, Ivanna is determined to bring everyone together, hoping the clink of glasses and the aroma of fine vintages will mend fractured relationships. You've received her invitation, and curiosity draws you in. Will the evening be one of reconciliation, or will the secrets of the past bubble to the surface? This is where your story begins.

Saved the party
I started to write my own murder mystery, and realized too late that I was in over my head. The morning of the party I bought this pack, and edited it to fit the theme I had already made (pretentious art show). It ended up working perfectly, because art ends up being a pivotal story point. Saved the party from a sub par mystery.

This was a hit!!!! Perfect for small or large groups!
I hosted this murder mystery wine tasting and dinner party last weekend (Jan 2021) and all my friends are still talking about it! If you have any doubts, just go for it!! It really helps if you make sure everyone dresses up to help them get into character and for decorations I bought some caution tape and marked the ground with painters tape in an outline of a body for the “victim”. I would recommend making sure you have enough printer paper and ink because there’s about 40 pages to print out. Also, if you need to contact this company for questions on what characters are critical (I only had 4 ppl) , you can email and they reply really fast! One other thing I did for the wine tasting, was buy the 19 crimes brand of wine. This was perfect with the murder mystery theme!! Good luck and have fun!!

Fantastic way to have a memorable party!
Perfect size for our small group. Everyone had a blast playing and got really into some of the characters. Only con I would have to say was I wish the clues were on separate pages (yes I know a waste of trees) but when cutting the clues I had a hard time focusing on NOT reading.

Great time with a minimal amount of work!
We purchased this murder mystery the day of the party and it was quick to get everything together! Everyone had a great time!

We loved it!
5 of us played the wine tasting murder mystery and we had a great laugh! I was nervous as to how it would work out, since I didn't want to spoil the mystery for myself. But I placed all clues into different envelopes and the clues were very well organized and easy to follow. My guests followed the costume requests which was key. I highly recommend, I will be purchasing more in the future!

Fun Birtday Game
I've always wanted to have a murder mystery party. The instant download was fun and a hit with my friends. Everyone dressed up in custom and got into their character. The clue cards had all the information needed. I was able to adapt the party games to a format that worked digitally. I would love to purchase another kit in the future and have been recommending this site to friends and family.

A Night of Fun
I did this with my 4 other quarantine pals. It was so much fun! I "hosted" it, but I also played Gretchen Audigger. What a fun night! It was really fun to switch up the quaran-routine. Everyone got into character and it was an awesome evening. The story line worked well and it was a very entertaining mystery!

So fun!!
Really enjoyed playing this with my family for my birthday!! We were a group of 6 and it was so much fun! I was able to be the host and not know the results! I really recommend this story line, its very fun and easy to play.

Great Ice Breaker
We planned for an evening of fun over Christmas vacation when hosting a group of six adults. One of them our daughter's boyfriend from Australia. We wanted an ice-breaker game and got it in Fine Wine Good Friends. Which is not about good friends at all. It's about asking "personal" questions, dropping outrageous hints, acting audaciously and paying attention to detail. What fun!

Tons of Fun
Picked this for my staff Christmas party and we had a lot of fun! You definitely get out of these as much as you are willing to put in though. If people are willing to get into character and play it up, it's super fun. 4 stars because you have a lot of info dumped on you all at once at the start of the game, and it makes it a bit overwhelming at first to get into it. Once you get the hang of it though, and the wine loosens people up, it makes for an enjoyable evening.

Tons of fun!
We had a blast playing our characters. I agree with a previous review that if we had more info about our characters earlier it would have been helpful. We loved the story line and how easy it was to put together. Plus we always enjoy wine!
