Boxed Games - Murder Mystery
The games in our shop are for download only, boxed games are available at Dinner & Murder Games.
How do they work?
It starts with the host sending out invitations, preferably well in advance of the event. On the night the host hands out the guest booklets, each describing the characters and clues. Neither the host or the players are required to learn any complicated background or memorise any lines - everything is in the guest booklets.
This is a difficult question to answer as it depends on a number of factors including the number of players, venue, interuptions and the general pace of the game. Games generally take between 1.5 to 3 hours.

Do you have games for children?
Please understand the games are written for adults, let's face it the subject is murder and deceit. Our experience shows that children under the age of 14 do not understand the finer points of a murder mystery game and therefore would not have fun.
How many players ?
The best approach is to decide how many players you want to invite 'before' deciding on a game. Each game has been designed for a specific "number" of characters, although some games allow for extra players, provided they are included from the start.
