Whether you are looking to celebrate a birthday, ring in the New Year, have a hauntingly good Halloween, or just liven up a dead evening, there is a murder mystery game to suit your needs. But who to invite, and who is each game really meant for? Read on to discover the types of games available and who each is aimed at to help you find the perfect game for you…
Games for girls
One specific category of game is those aimed at women only. These are perfect for a retro sleepover with your friends, to celebrate Galentines Day, or really for any time you want to get together with your girls and have a killer night! Our most popular of these is Clue-Less Killer, a 90s house party themed mystery that is packed full of puns, references, and comes with a totally awesome playlist!
Games for guys
Except for our all-female games, all can be played and enjoyed by men and women, just pick a theme and get sleuthing! Our poker-themed 4 player mystery Dealing in Death makes a particularly suitable Father’s Day or birthday present for any fan of cards, mysteries, and puns. Plus it is a fantastic way to give a great gift and spend quality time together at the same time!
Games for family
Finding the perfect murder mystery party for your family depends very much on the type of family you have. If you are looking for something to play with several generations including a grandparent or two, something classy and traditional like our Agatha Christie style Manor House Mystery is just the ticket.
Complete with a new will, a mystery heir, and all the trimmings of a weekend country party in the 1930s, you can throw a full dinner party for the family or keep it more casual with canapes and cocktails.
For many families, the sky is the limit when it comes to our games. You can choose whichever theme you think your family will prefer. Just keep in mind the various plot lines and key themes in certain games that may make some more fun to play with your parents than others! Our Bridgerton themed game, for instance, focuses a great deal on the marriage market, while most of our games have a lot less romantic storylines.
Games for work colleagues
A lot of work functions can start to feel very same-y, with polite chit-chat over a few drinks and plenty of colleagues just waiting for a chance to go. Why not cut through the office politics, drama, and boredom and go straight to killing your boss? Several of our murder mysteries would be suitable for a group of work colleagues to play including Camp Deadwood. Our 80s horror flick themed mystery where you will soon feel the burn of each other’s questions and accusations!
Games for friends
Finally, you will find that each and every one of our games is perfectly suited to play with friends. Simply decide how many people you will invite (and who is likely to show), pick your favourite theme from the many options, and start planning your outfit!
Many groups of friends love to dress up as they were as teens in the 80s, 90s, or 00s, while others like to put the fancy in fancy dress with a 1920s flappers theme or really have a ball in the 1800s with our Bridgerton game. The choice is yours!
Just remember, whichever game you choose, a murder mystery is an excellent way to spend quality time with those you love most where you can get together and unmask the killer among you!
