5 Reasons to Host a Killer Night in this Cold Season
Now the holiday season has passed and the nights seem endless, it can feel daunting to know what to do with all those dark hours. While getting cosy on the couch works wonders most nights, you still need to charge that social battery and get a good dose of the giggles to combat the cold.
Perfect for anyone looking to liven up a wintry evening, here are 5 reasons why you should throw a murder mystery party this month…
1 – Save money – and maybe yourself!
A visit to the local pub can be a perfect way to pass a long winter evening, but it can also end up being rather pricey. Especially if you spent a fair few evenings out in the run up to Christmas and New Year’s like we did!
With a murder mystery game you can entertain your friends for as little as £1 per person, and even if you add on money for snacks and drinks, you will still be spending far less than an evening out.

2 – Lighten up these dark wintry evenings
This time of year can feel like one long Monday. You leave the house in the dark, get home in the dark, and even the daylight hours can feel, well, dark! If you want to languish in the darkness with a gory and terrifying murder mystery unfortunately a Sisters Grimm game is not for you. We choose to focus on the light, the silly, and the things that make you laugh.
Our light-hearted murder mystery games include motives that you could relate to and others that are a little absurd. (Think a thousand year old vampire killing her husband for leaving socks lying around or a 90s kid killing for a shiny Pokémon card!) Our games aim to make you ‘Die Laughing’, and we live up to this through humorous deaths and plenty of painful puns to lighten any night.
3 – A fantastic excuse to get the gang back together
January can be a pretty lonely month, especially after the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. It can feel after New Years that everyone goes into hibernation mode. There are probably friends you haven’t seen since then, and don’t expect to see until the clocks change!
Hosting a murder mystery night is the perfect excuse to draw your friends out of hiding, or else provide a good alibi as to why they can’t attend. Throw a retro girl’s night complete with a sleepover while playing our Clueless inspired 90s murder mystery, or go back to school in the 00s and reunite with your clique. Nothing says a fun night in like ‘killing’ your friends!
4 – Choose the theme you want
You don’t have to accept that it is snowy, freezing, and dark outside. With a Sisters Grimm murder mystery game you can head off to a 90s Music Awards show for a night of Girl Power. You can attend a ball with the Ton and dance with a Lord, or head off to the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry to warm yourself by a cauldron. The choice is yours!
With over a dozen different themes to choose from you are sure to find the right fit for you from Fairy Tales to 80s horror. You can go all in with your costumes or keep it relaxed and use your imagination. Either way, a murder mystery night is well worth getting off the sofa for.
5 – Get everything you need for a party in a box, no extra effort required!
Now that the holiday season is over many of us are feeling as drained of energy as we are funds! Planning a party at this time of year can feel a little like pulling teeth, but at Sisters Grimm we aim to put a smile on your face with our complete party-in-a-box. From setting the crime scene to choosing your outfit and choosing what food and drinks to serve, we have you covered.
Each game comes with its own bespoke Spotify playlist, tips and tricks for decorations, cocktail recipes, invitations, and more. Everything you need to stay in for a killer evening this season!
