Prepare

Print & Prep

2 weeks before:
Send invitations to your guests. Each mystery includes a printable invitation template. Let them know the theme and encourage costumes - it makes everything better.

1 week before:
Assign characters to your guests. Your Host Guide has a casting guide that tells you which characters suit outgoing guests, quiet guests, and first-timers. Send each guest their character sheet privately - no peeking allowed.

Day of:
Print the remaining materials (name tags, accusation forms, clue cards). Set up your space with theme-appropriate decorations, queue up a playlist, and lay out food and drinks before guests arrive.

Finger food works best - your guests need their hands free for clue cards and dramatic accusations.

Play

Run the Mystery

Arrival (15 min):
Welcome your guests, hand out character packets, and give everyone time to read their materials over drinks.

Round 1 - Alibis (20 min):
Read the announcement script aloud (or play the audio narration). Each player introduces their character and shares where they were at the time of the murder.

Round 2 - Investigation (30 min):
Players mingle freely, share clues, form alliances, and interrogate each other. This is where the real fun happens.

Round 3 - Accusations (15 min):
Hand out accusation forms. Everyone writes down who they think the killer is, and why.

The Reveal:
Open the sealed Solution Booklet and read the reveal script (or play the audio). Watch the room erupt.

The killer doesn't know they're the killer - that's what makes our mysteries different. Everyone plays, everyone suspects, everyone is surprised.
