Masters of Mystery Reviews

I hosted a murder mystery dinner party for my birthday this year using the Monster Mansion kit. We had a big group playing -18 of us-and everyone had a blast. We let people pick their characters in advance and then had all other materials available when they arrived. Loved that it required minimal prep from participants and that the host could play as well. My friends are still taking about it! The game took us the full 2.5 hours from start to finish. Beware-it’s a lot of printing! I would absol...

This was so fun! We played for my aunties 50th and initially I was panicking as the first round is basically reading and everyone looked a bit bored. However as we got into it and everyone knew their character a bit better, people started to improvise and really have a laugh with it. At the end, everyone was saying how much they enjoyed it! We teamed up characters and that worked too, I had one of the characters scripts as a host as the inspectors script isn’t the same and I was confused about w...

We decided to put on a Pirate Murder Mystery party for my husband's 60th bday. Thanks to Amazon, Spirit Halloween, and HalloweenCostume.com, we were able to re-create the village tavern and acquire costumes for all sizes. There were a total of 22 participants. I was the host and we made "Your Excellency Blasiou Fortuna (aka detective) part of the cast. Once we handed out the cast booklets, we also gave them a message in a bottle. This allowed them to mingle and act out to gain prizes. For e...

We had a fabulous 1920s Murder Mystery Sweet 16 Dinner Party! I’d share a dozen pictures if I could. (It only let me select 1) 7 girls total and I (mama) was their host Jay Glittersby. Our guests arrived dressed for the occasion. We had a photo shoot at our balloon arch, mingled and then sat down for dinner. We did a fancy table set up. I made the cloth napkins & floral arrangements myself, already had cute glasses and black cloth tablecloths. I borrowed my moms China and my friends sequin table...

It was a great experience with all 20 roles filled! Gregor Greenbeard and Ryan Ville are not in the picture but a couple small pirates are in their place. It didn’t take near as long as I thought it would. We ate, did rounds 1 and 2 stopped for dessert, did round 3, voting and I gave prizes in 2hours. Guests with characters ages 10 to 55 all had a blast! 18/20 got really into costume and some went above and beyond! I gave prizes for best costume and best actor and small prizes for those who spok...

what an amazing activity to do with friends. I did this for my birthday! I had everyone dress up as their character and come dressed up in suits and floor length dresses. what an experience!!! we had wine and cheese (and some grape juice hahah) This activity took about 2 hrs and we were about 15 people. We had everyone's documents printed! finally for the end we had the best acting and best dressed win little statues like the oscars. if you are hesitating, don't just get it, honestly I think it ...

Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! This was months in the planning, as I began my list of potential suspects in May, but on Friday, October 13th, mayhem, murder and fun ensued, MUCH to everyone's delight! I secured a Lord Marshal, who took over our house as each suspect arrived at the palace, which you can see in the photos! I also had a butler added to the cast (Jay Guarr) who worked as an undercover Deputy Marshal!! I also devised a new way to randomly pick the murderer, so NO ONE would...

I used this as a basis of my birthday party. There were 6 players and me! The game started slowly as I got used to instructions and timings. However once people got over their bemusement and got into their individual characters (given out randomly as they arrived with their alphabet letters starting with Z and working backwards!) they relaxed and started having fun together even though they didnt know each other to begin with! I LOVE the fact that the games are repeatable, adaptable to the g...
