Reviews

We hosted this murder for my daughter''s 13th birthday. We had 13 guests (all gifted kids) and they LOVED the party!! They got into character and had fun with it. It took a little longer to run than we anticipated as they were often ''hamming it up'' and playing up the clues. It was great! We bought a bio-degradable coffin from a local dealer ($50) and made a ''body'' to go in it. We decorated and darkened the windows so we were to do it by candle light. We also downloaded (from iTunes) scary music and background sounds (like a ghost crying and squeaky doors). It really added to the ambiance of the event. I highly recommend it and the parents asked if I''d host one for the grown ups because their kids said they had so much fun with it all!

All of our guests had a great time. It didn't quite have a good flow from one round to the next. I think it was my doing though. Overall, everyone laughed, ate, and enjoyed their time together. I would definitely recommend this website to anyone looking for new party ideas. My daughter said that this was the best party that she's ever had and was asking for another party like it for next year.

This was great! Everybody showed up in character and it really set the scene. We decorated my whole basement, and we even had a coffin! My dad bought a mask and dressed up like Jack Ular, the owner. He got everyon scared! We had pizza and snacks while sharing clues, and after we solved the mystery, we became ourselves and had cake and I opened presents. I plan to throw a party like this every year. There are sooooo many to choose from!

My two children, 12 and 13, had this party as a Halloween event. With 16 teenagers in my home, I wasn't sure what to expect. After a slow start, guests started warming to the routine and let loose. In the end, everyone had a SCREAMING good time and NO ONE solved to mystery. I highly recommend this adventure and the kids can't wait to host another one. Thanks.

This party was organised for a 13th Birthday - which luckily was on 'Friday 13th' of October. We started inviting guests well in advance, and this also gavem the guests time to review their characters. It did not span out as long as expected, so we had plenty of time for food and a few party games at the end. Thoroughly enjoyed by all - we decorated the house as a Haunted Castle (which as it was so close to Halloween, the items were easily available)

I arranged this party for my daughter's 12th birthday and I wasn't sure if the other kids were gonna get into it but they were all fab. They all came dressed to the nines as their characters complete with props and after a very so start, they really got into it! Would definately do this type of party again, and it was so easy just downloading it all. Best of all, my daughter has had a party that all her mates have been talking about for weeks afterwards and that to me is priceless!

We used this as the main activity for a thirteenth birthday party and it was a hit. It took a couple of rounds for the kids to figure out the dynamics of the game, but after round two it kept a dozen 12 and 13 year old girls fully engaged for over three hours.

I think the murder mystery was good, however....I would have liked to move around more and interact with the characters and get to know them more. Also, the scripted lines were ok, but it would've been better in my opinion if instead of giving us lines, there were a list of objectives such as: ask vlad tire what he was doing on the night of October 15th. Or things of that nature. Since we had such a large group, the only way to get to know the characters more would be to break it up into smaller groups. so those are my suggestions. You guys put a lot of time into this, and we had lots of fun!!! Thanks a lot! ~ERIN~
