A truly epic murder mystery party game should include more than just character scripts. Our games also include a wide variety of extras to help get your home and your guests ready for a night of killer fun. Here we will go into some of the extras you can expect with your murder mystery game, and a few tips and tricks to help set the scene for the deadly events to come…
Arranging the room
One of the first things you can do to help set the scene for your party is to think about the layout of the room and how it relates to your game. Are you setting up a long table for a dinner party like in our fatal festive feast? A school cafeteria like in Killa Mean Girlz? Or a classic 90s house party for our Clue-less Killer game?
Clearing some space can also be helpful if you are playing one of our mingling murder mysteries, giving you more room to move about and question each other. You may also decide to host your party outside, or at a venue outside of your home. It doesn’t really matter where you play, as long as you all get into the party spirit!
Decorations and props
When it comes to decorations you don’t need to go overboard or break the bank. A couple of cleverly placed props or relevant decorations can make a huge difference, but you don’t need to put any out if you don’t want to. Then again, many household objects could be perfectly suited and can be placed at very little effort and no expense.
For our Harry Potter themed game, for example, a broomstick, jars of herbs and spices, or anything you might have lying around could really help make it look like a dungeon. For our Bridgerton-themed game, serving nibbles and drinks on china immediately elevates your party. If you need any tips and suggestions, check the party pack in our extras for plenty of ideas to get you started.
The playlist
Creating the right atmosphere isn’t all about what you can see and use. The music can be just as important if not more so, and each of our games comes with their own Spotify playlist ready to use. Perfectly tailored to each theme, nothing says it’s a 90s night or highlights the elegance of an 1800s ball like the right music.
And many more extras, tips, and hacks…
Really the best way to set up your party is to take a look at the host guide, party pack, and how to play guide included in your newly purchased murder mystery game. We have extras such as bottle labels, cocktail suggestions, party invitations and more to help your night run as smoothly and spectacularly as possible.
