The 5 top themes for Murder Mystery Parties to play with friends

Whether you are looking for the perfect birthday gift, feel like a retro sleepover, or just fancy doing something a little different with your mates this weekend, look no further than a murder mystery game. Get dressed up, play some killer tunes, and kill your friends with one of these top themes today!

 

1 – The 80s

Arm yourself with sweatbands and spandex, gather your mates, and get ready to feel the burn of each other’s accusations in our 80s themed murder mystery game Camp Deadwood. Based on the horror flicks of this hella gnarly decade, you can play this game as a normal house party, out in the garden, or go all out with tents in the woods.

The only thing more killer than the mystery itself is the playlist that comes along with it! Get ready to dance, laugh, and unmask the killer if you want any chance of living forever in this totally rad murder mystery game.

 

2 – The 90s

Nothing says a top night with friends like a 90s theme! I tell you what I want, what I really really want. For you to try and catch the killer in our evidence based Spice Girls themed murder mystery game. If you wannabe a great friend and a savvy detective, you’ll love the clues, puns, and 90s references as much as the truth or dare cards and fun extras!

For a fully scripted house party style game, check out our Clue-less Killer game, where the murder weapon is a Bop-It and our party pack includes games and extras to keep the party going all night. From the outfits to the decorations to suggested goodie bags, is there a better retro 90s game out there? As if!

 

3 – The 00s

Perfect for any fan of early 00s teen movies, rom coms, and murder, our evidence-based mingling murder mystery, Killer Mean Girlz is a fun take on the high school cafeteria experience. If you thought your high school was a jungle, check out what the kids get up to in this one as you navigate prom invitations, deal with mean girls, and try and catch a killer. It is so totally fetch!

 

4 – Bridgerton

If bucket hats or spandex aren’t really your style, go for something more elegant and just as fun with our Bridgerton-inspired murder mystery. Have a ball getting dressed up in your finery or go summery with sun dresses and set the party up in the garden. With this game you and your friends can soak up the scandal while pouring and spilling the tea.

The gorgeous sound track to the Netflix show works wonders in setting the scene while you work to discover the killer among you, as well as the identity of a certain scandal sheet writer. What’s a little murder and gossip between friends?

 

5 – Harry Potter

Our final favourite for slaying with friends is our Harry Potter inspired murder mystery. Ideal for anyone who dreamed of getting that letter when they were 11, we all have at least one friend who is still obsessed with this magical world today. Wear your house colours or go all out in official robes and hop on your broomstick as you try and reveal the killer in this wizarding world mystery.

Whether your friends prefer to sing along to the Spice Girls, wear pink on Wednesdays, or are keen to try out their waltzing skills, give one of our top picks a try. There is no better way to spend the evening than celebrating your years of friendship, trying something new, and trying to unmask the killer among you. Why not give it a go today?
