What do our customers say?
The story was well put together. For us, the game really got started as soon as we assigned the roles and sent out the invitations. Everyone was already fully immersed in their characters by then, which led to some hilarious moments.
The game was fun to play! We paired the kids (all around 10 years old) with someone, and they really enjoyed it too.
We had a wonderful evening. Everyone was dressed up in great costumes. The Instagram posts really built up the excitement beforehand. Some superpowers seem better than others. All in all, I’d give it 4 stars, because none of us would have wanted to miss this evening!
There were four of us playing “The Party Murder.”
It was our first time, so it took us a little while to get used to how the game worked. In the end, everything turned out fine. The story was well put together, and it was fun to get into our assigned roles.
Despite the murder, we had a lot of laughs! Surprising ending. We’re definitely going to do this again!
We had a really fun evening thanks to this game! Clear instructions and an engaging plot!
A really fun game to play with a group of friends! We played with 20 people and brought in an extra person to play the detective (we thought this was a nice added touch). Before the game, the detective sent all the character booklets and an invitation to the participants, so everyone could prepare for their role.
At the end of the game, we felt we could have used a little more explanation for each character as to why he or she wouldn’t have done it. So we looked through the script ourselves and added this to the detective’s lines.
We really enjoyed our evening playing the game. It took a little while to get into it at first and to read the script carefully. But by the second round, everyone was fully immersed in their roles.
On Saturday night, not knowing what game to play, I ordered a murder mystery, and what a great choice that was. Four hours of fun and excitement (and a little bit of competition) trying to figure out who did it. I highly recommend it... an evening of laughs!
Really fun and enjoyable.
Our Halloween dinner was a huge success! We played “The Murder Family” online with friends and family, and it was so much fun. The kids (all 10 and olderer) were especially excited! Afterward, they wanted to play another murder mystery game right away, that’s how much they enjoyed it!
As the hostess, I didn’t play myself so I could prepare the dishes for our dinner in between rounds. That actually worked perfectly: the guests were fully engrossed in the game, and I could continue working in the kitchen in peace.
In short: highly recommended! It was a fun, exciting, and well-organized evening. We’re already looking forward to the next murder mystery game! 🎃
A really fun game! We were able to prepare well for our characters. We followed the instructions in the video on the tablet. We made our own name tags.
I would definitely recommend it!
We ordered this murder mystery game to play on Halloween, and it was a fantastic evening! The characters were original and funny. No special preparation is needed, just download, print, and play.
We were with a group of friends, and everyone got into their roles right away since we had dressed up as our characters. We definitely recommend it!
The instructions were a little unclear at times, but everything worked out in the end, and we had a really fun evening and laughed so hard! Definitely worth doing again!! We’re already looking into which story to try next! We had placed a “real” corpse in the bathroom, which caused a hilarious scene.
At first, I had a bad experience. The game wasn't working and I didn't get a response. They addressed the issue and fixed it, so in that regard, it was a positive experience.
Such a fun game and so well put together! We had a really fun and lively evening. We were totally immersed in the story. It was seriously awesome!!!!! We’d love to buy another game 🥰
We had a truly fantastic evening playing this game. We played “The Party Murder” while enjoying some drinks and a snack platter. There were five of us, and the game took about 2.5 hours. We laughed so hard, and even though there weren’t many of us, it was still hard to figure out who the murderer was! I highly recommend it!
What a fun and exciting game. The anticipation leading up to it was already amazing. Everyone in the family had gone out of their way to put together the perfect outfit. At first, it took a little while to figure out how to play. But it all became clear as we went along. I definitely recommend it for a fun afternoon or evening. We’ll definitely be playing again!
What a fantastic game! We played “The Jet Set Murder” with 10 girls. Everyone really got into their roles and had put a lot of effort into their looks. The game was purchased in just 5 minutes, and you can start playing right away. The instructions are clear, and murdermysterykit.com responds quickly via the app if you don’t understand something or have more questions.
We played the The Jetset Murder Mystery with six girls at a birthday party. Everyone really got into their characters, which made it super fun. We laughed a lot and ended up playing for 3.5 hours. We had a five-course meal in between and shared the facts while we ate. Between courses, we went searching for secrets and gossip “inside” the different locations.
The use of the special power wasn’t entirely clear, and at first it wasn’t clear whether the girls were supposed to play as a team or if it was every woman for herself… that realization came later in the game.
But all in all, highly recommended!! We can’t wait for the next story!
An unforgettable evening!
Everyone really got into their roles. The rules and instructions were clear. The digital detective guided us through the game.
We laughed so hard, but even in all the chaos, a few of us managed to unmask the killer.
Highly recommended for a fun, relaxing evening with friends.
It was a great evening! We had a wonderful time, and even though it was a murder mystery, we had a lot of fun
We had a really fun evening!
Highly recommended!
It was so much fun and we really got to let loose! An amazing experience! We definitely want to play another murder mystery game!
The 13 of us had a really fun evening. Three of us managed to identify the real killer. We played the game at the hospital’s outpatient clinic.
Your Murder Mystery. Guided Every Step of the Way.
Forget complicated rulebooks and lengthy instructions. Every murder mystery game is guided by a virtual detective who leads the investigation from start to finish. He presents the case, reveals new evidence, and keeps the story moving, so you can focus on solving the crime.
The Briefing
The mystery begins with a video introducing the crime and the suspects. Each player receives a unique character on their own phone or tablet, complete with secrets, motives, and clues.
The Investigation
One of the players is responsible for the crime. As the story unfolds, you'll question suspects, share information, uncover hidden motives, and piece together the evidence. But be careful; not everyone is telling the truth.
The Final Reveal
Just when you think you've figured it out, the virtual detective reveals one final clue. Review the evidence, name the culprit, and find out whether your instincts were right.
