Teen Murder Mystery Party Games

Murder mystery party games rated for teens, for 6 to 14 players. Guests play on their phones, from magic schools to K-pop backstage. Ready after checkout.

For birthdays, sleepovers, youth groups and classrooms

Teenagers don't need much convincing to accuse their friends of murder. A teen murder mystery gives a birthday party or sleepover a plot, with everyone playing a suspect on their phone. Over a few rounds they trade clues and alibis, then vote on who did it. All the games on this page are rated for teens, and some are rated for adults too, so parents may want to read a game's story before buying.

How a murder mystery party works

1. Pick a mystery and invite your guests. Choose a story that fits your group, then send invitations from your Game Room. Each guest gets a suspect to play, with a costume idea and their character background.
2. Play through the rounds. Clues are revealed round by round, on guests' phones or as printed cards. Everyone questions each other, guards their own secrets and hunts for the killer.
3. Accuse the killer and reveal the truth. Guests vote on who did it, then the host reveals the full solution. Everything you need is included, so even first-time hosts can run the night with ease.

• Ready Right Away Your game appears in My Games right after checkout, so you can send invitations the same day.
• Group Size Every game plays with 6 to 14 players: six characters are included, and you can add up to eight more.
• Phones or Paper Guests get characters and clues on their phones, and a printable kit is included.
• The Game Room Run rounds, clues, narrator audio and the final reveal from your phone, tablet or TV.

Choosing a Mystery for Teens

• Fantasy fans: The Stolen Lightning Bolt, set at a camp for demigods, or The Alchemist's Apprentice, set at a magical boarding school.
• Music and drama: K-Pop Demon Hunters, set backstage at a concert in Seoul, or Upper East Side Scandal, set at a New York ballroom gala.
• Costume parties: Shake, Rattle, and Rest in Peace takes everyone back to a 1957 burger joint.

Teen Party FAQs

Are these games OK for younger kids?

They're written for teens and involve a murder, so they aren't meant for younger children.

Can it run at a school or youth group?

Yes. For more than 14 people, large group mode puts the rest of the room on detective teams, and schools and youth groups use a Non-profit license. See how events and licenses work.

Does everyone need a phone?

Phones make it easy, but a printable kit is included if you'd rather play on paper.

Have a theme of your own?

Our game builder can write a one-of-a-kind mystery around your theme, with its own characters, clues and story.
