How to Throw a Murder Mystery Party Game

Shot In The Dark Mysteries' Creative Director Leigh Clements walks you through How to Host a Murder Mystery Party Game. Our unique format is truly different - it's a true investigation-style format, where you and your guests become detectives to find the person who had the motive, means and opportunity to commit the murder or theft. Even the killer doesn't know they are the killer, and this is by design, so everyone is sleuthing 100% and the participants can even cast an accusation against themselves in the end! We discuss how the murder mystery game rolls out and what happens at a mystery party, so you know exactly how to throw a murder mystery party, but also how to decide how many participants (suspects and sleuths) you want for your mystery party and why. This is also great for mystery party participants, to understand how a mystery party works and so that they know what to expect at a murder mystery party.
