Murder in the Roaring 20s 6-14 Player Murder Mystery Flexi-Party

We used to do Murder Mystery parties in our 20s, now in our 60s I decided to do one for my 60th birthday. We had 6 players but it still worked well. The audio file that introduced each 'act' helped to se the scene, and the fact that everyone dressed up in 1920s clothes helped a lot. It is very well presented and easy to follow even after a number of glasses of champagne!! You are each given a script for each scene varying depending on whether you are the murderer. The scripts were very well written for each character and if you get into acting it out, it was very funny. It didn't really matter when it referred to other characters who were not sat around the table, it was just like they were in another room. Also you draw secret lots as to who will be the murderer at the start with only them knowing who it is - me as host didn't know. This means that you can play the game again and again. And with 14 characters you can change who people are on another occasion.

I bought this for my 30th birthday and had a roaring 20s murder mystery. All of my guests loved it. We had the 14 guest version which was great as you got given clues on what to wear to help those who may struggle with fancy dress. The instructions are clear and the story we had adds some humour which was nice. We would definitely buy one again or even use the same one again and again as the murderer isn’t always the same but dependant on who guests pick out the “hat” Great fun

Bought for a themed dinner party. Made the night a lot easier to navigate

We had a great time - I would absolutely recommend! Tips: If doing with a dinner party - try to prep your food, set your table and have the food ready to take out of the oven/fridge. We did this and I am so grateful as you can't excuse yourself as host in this game if you are playing. We did a mingle question set for round 1 before dinner. It takes a while but is a great way to warm your guests up to each other. Then for time's sake after dinner we did round 2 and 3 at the table. We really appreciated the quirky and funny writing and had such a fun evening. Well done!

This was our second game from this series, and we had a great time. Even my 11 year old joined in. We'll definitely do another.

I was really apprehensive about using this for my friends hen do. But it really is very straight forward and worked so well. Everyone got into character and even I got to play even though I organised it. We used the audios that came with the game. Very easy to use and made the game seem very professional. Loved it.

Great fun for New Year's eve. Worked well with 10 people and randomly selecting the murderer on the night was fine. The costume ideas were good without needing too much effort. There was enough innuendo to be amusing but not offensive. It was very scripted and think picking the murderer was guesswork but would recommend if you want a non challenging fun game with friends.

Thought it was going to be good. Easy to understand instructions, but felt going around the table asking the questions in turn was a bit tedious. My guests felt they would have liked more info about there character before the night of the party. Other than that quite good fun, and enjoyed by all.

I enjoyed the fun cast of characters. Probably able to reuse the game with a different set of players

We played this game at our Halloween party. The characters and the scrip are absolutely fantastic and quite funny. Our group really embraced their characters and most dressed their part. I would suggest letting people know which character they will be playing in advance to give them time to decide on their clothing/costume. It took us a little bit of a while to sort through how to play but it was well worth it. This comes with an online audio narrative of evidence that is played at certain points of the game. We also used the theme music to which we added some Halloween music as people came in the room. We will definitely be purchasing another game from this company; they have a number of themes.

We had an amazing time!!! Can’t wait to buy another & play again!! Highly recommend for a fun night with friends. It probably took around 3 hours for us but we also took breaks for food & drinks between the 3 scenes. The audio clips were found on the website (just Google it). I also bought little notebooks and pens so people could make notes while we played. I would recommend for older teens & adults. Younger kids may have trouble reading & following the character scripts. You can play the game with less than 14 people but my opinion is that the story makes more sense if you play with all the roles.

The game was so fun and easy to set up! Murderer gets picked night of - no shows won’t ruin it. Didn’t have a CD player but was able to get the recordings online and play through my phone on a speaker. We also purchased it pretty close to the party date so couldn’t send out the invitations it came with, but there’s a site link they give so you’re able to send an Evite with character descriptions/ costume suggestions included. You can pick your characters or just assign them out. We slightly messed up the end but did a make shift “survivor-style” reveal of the murder and it was hilarious. Just set a phone up to record at the end and have everyone individually go in and say who they think did it!

Absolutely wonderful! We had 14 people playing. It give a great character description so you can dress/act accordingly. It came with a script that’s really easy to follow and a CD that keeps you on track. We had many laughs. The best part is there is not a specific murderer set for the game. It’s done at random but still makes since because everyone had the motive to kill. You can play it over and over again. I wouldn’t play it with anyone under 18 though since it does have strong language and sexual content. I will definitely be buying the other themes since this one went so well!
