Planning some hen party games, bachelorette or girls’ night in and want something a little different? We know planning can be a challenge. Between navigating the etiquette of hen parties and trying to find the perfect ice breaker, it is a big job. If you are looking for a way to get everyone laughing, and create some unforgettable moments, then our all-girl murder mystery hen party games could be your secret weapon.
At Red Herring Games, we’ve got a whole collection of murder mystery games written specifically for all-female groups – which means no one has to play a man, no awkward roles, just pure fun.
Why Choose an All-Girl Murder Mystery Game?
Let’s be honest: not every group wants to shoehorn a friend into a “male” role or deal with plots that don’t quite fit the vibe. That’s why we’ve created games that are already perfectly tailored for an all female group. (Let’s face it – girls do it better… when it comes to parties and when it comes to murder!!)
So whether you’re planning hen party games, bachelorette, a birthday bash, or just a girls’ night in, these games take away the stress and let everyone get straight to the fun.
Top reasons these games are a hit for hen parties and women’s groups:
- No need to worry about casting a friend as a guy – every role is written for women.
- Plots are cheeky, engaging, female orientated, and perfect for groups who want laughs and intrigue.
- Easy to organise, with everything you need included in the kit.
- Great for breaking the ice if not everyone knows each other.
- Flexible for different group sizes, so whether you’ve got a cosy gathering or a full-on party, there’s hen party games for you.
- Customisable! We have lost count of the number of customised hen party games!

Our Most Popular All-Girl Murder Mystery Games
We know you want options, so here are some of the best-selling all-girl murder mystery games from our collection:
1. Death Comes to Downturn
A classic 1920s favourite, this game is packed with drama and more than a dash of British humour. It’s one of our most popular choices for hen parties because of the popularity of Downton Abbey. For TV show fans, the characters are relatable, the plot is full of twists, and the laughs are guaranteed. With a range of upstairs and downstairs characters, this hits the classic vibes but not everyone has to come glamorously attired.
2. Murder at the Music Awards
A perennial favourite – this is a must for 80s pop fans. Set at a music awards show, it’s perfect for groups who want to dress up, channel their inner pop star, and solve a juicy mystery together. With classic artists to emulate, there’s a role and an iconic look for everyone, plus the play list to set the party vibes is easy to compile and it lends itself to karaoke!
3. Bump Off at the Grind
Burlesque, feathers, jelly shots, and a murder to solve – what more do you need? This game is ideal for smaller groups and works brilliantly for a girls who really like to live large and want to continue on to a nightclub later in the evening.
4. Dangerous Housewives
Another TV-themed option, this game is all about neighbourly get-togethers, character assassinations, and vindictive backstabbing. Great for groups who love a bit of gossip!
