How it works:
Never hosted a murder mystery before?
Don’t panic! There is no special acting required. Guests do not need to memorise any information, and everything they need to play their parts is provided in a handy booklet. The games are constructed so that everyone has to interact, and scripted dialogues are included to help break the ice and get everyone into character. Even total novices get into the swing of things quite quickly!
The game includes both sound files (MP3 with a download or CD with a boxed set) and a script for the inspector character who provides the setting, clues, and summaries for each round, as well as the final solution. This means as host you too can play and remain completely in the dark as to the culprit, or play the inspector yourself and invite an extra guest to the party!
How does a “download and print at home” kit work?
Each “download and print at home” kit is provided as a zip file containing a set of PDF files for you to print at home, and a selection of MP3 files to use on the night.
Each dinner party game requires use of a printer and A4 paper (approx. 80 sheets for a 6 player kit – 240 sheets for a 20 player kit), envelopes so you can send out your invitations, and either a laptop or MP3 player (e.g. an ipod) to play the inspector MP3s; OR a CD burner so you can burn the MP3s onto a CD to run in an ordinary CD player.
When you order the game you’ll be sent a link to download the files you need. The file will be a zip file. This can be opened with a zip compatible program on your computer. If you struggle to open zip files – we can email you the game directly over several emails instead – just contact us after purchase to arrange this.

Characters in the game:
Cilla Queen – Obsessive Fan
Dressed in leathers and ready to rock, Cilla is just crazy about her favourite band.
Ted Long – Drummer.
Wild and hairy, Ted has a passion for drumming and always has his sticks with him to tap out a beat – on anything!
Ivan Titall – Freddy’s manager.
A colour-blind flamboyant dresser with unusual tastes and a propensity to wear bright colours, Ivan is also often seen in socks and sandals.
Ray Diogaga – Guitarist
In leather trousers and flamboyant open shirt, Ray is a long haired wonder on the guitar.
Daisy Littlething – Backing Vocalist
In a provocative little black number Daisy has a fabulous voice and the looks to go with it.
Sally Jay – Freddy’s ex-girlfriend.
Stylishly dressed in her own “rock chick” apparel, Sally is still one of the band’s “inner circle”.
Customise this game
This game can be customised to fit your event for an additional fee.
It’s hard to give “ball park” figures for what different customisations would cost however we’ve attempted to HERE. Please do contact us for a free quote if you would like any customisations on your game before purchase.
Remember… if you just need 1 extra person, or 1 less person, why not have someone play the inspector role?
The inspector can usually be male or female as the “for real” inspector can simply invent a new name for themselves.
Some hosts prefer to play the inspector role as it means they can work on the catering while the round plays out amongst their guests.
Happy Customer –
Fantastic game as everyone knew the characters! Jane Irvine
