Includes 7 Murder Mystery Games suitable, some of which are only suitable for teens 14 and up.

Our games are not available in the shops. You download each entire game from the Internet. You will need to buy the password for the game and we ask that you do not use the game for financial gain in any way, shape or form (see our terms for exceptions). To put one of our murder mysteries together, you will need paper, envelopes, paperclips, a pen, scissors or a guillotine and access to a photocopier (to save time and ink).

Website Features

This website is very clean and readable.  It isn’t entirely clear that these are downloadable games until you go into the FAQ section–which causes confusion given that the purchaser is asked to provide shipping info in the checkout.

“All of our parties come in the form of a professionally designed 50-125 page pdf. Upon processing of your credit card, you will be redirected to a secure part of our site where you will have 2 weeks to download your party file and email invitations for your guests. By having our games online as instant downloads, we are able to satisfy even the most urgent need for a party.“
