Glastonbury is finished, the football is coming to an end, and some of you may feel like a bit of a cloud is hanging over the rest of summer. After so much excitement it can seem difficult to decide what to do with those remaining long summer evenings, and if that sounds familiar, look no further than a killer murder mystery party game!
For a unique and thrilling way to spend a few hours with family or friends, check out some of our top murder mysteries to play this summer. Whether you want to bring back that festival vibe, enjoy a tea party in the garden Bridgerton style, or have a scream playing a retro 80s horror flick game, we have the perfect theme for you…
Camp Deadwood
Ideal for any fan of the 80s, jokey horror films, or camping, Camp Deadwood can be played in your home, garden, or even while you and your friends are off camping this summer. It’s the electric 80s, and you are in for an evil and terrifying night you may not survive – and that’s just the aerobics class!
While training at the notoriously ‘peaceful’ camp, counsellors and staff are shocked to discover the body of Head Counsellor and all around busybody Nancy Doogooder, shot with an arrow. Now it is up to you to see if you can catch the killer, but be warned – if you go down to the woods today you’’ find no shortage of surprises! Perfect for teens, friends and family alike, this game is available as all-female and in flexible group sizes.
A Killer 60s Festival
If it is the end of Glastonbury getting you down, our 60s themed festival mystery is just the ticket you need! With references to sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll, this game is more suited to older teens and adults, especially those with a love of 60s tunes and plenty of killer puns. Set up tents, a BBQ, a drum circle and more to really get the festival vibe in your garden and don’t skimp on the sound system!
Festival organiser Jack Roberts has been murdered, killed by some very ungroovy means. It is your task to find the killer among the musicians, hippies, and groupies in the VIP area, but be warned – this is no time to give peace a chance!
The Ton’s Tea Party
If you are looking for a more refined mystery, or at least one that comes with fancy dress and the chance to drink cocktails out of tea cups, look no further than our Bridgerton inspired game, The Ton’s Tea Party. For this mystery you can set up a full picnic or elegant tea party outside, opt for an indoor ball, and really just play it however you want.
At the annual Crossford Ball more than just tea is spilled as the Duke is discovered, stabbed with his own dagger. Who among the season’s young ladies, dashing rakes, and the Duke’s closest family, friends, and staff could have committed such a crime? Perhaps a certain scandal sheet writer will reveal the truth, or perhaps even unmask herself? Check out our selection of murder mysteries today and you are sure to have a ball this summer!
