Halloween Murder Mystery Party Games

Halloween murder mystery party games for 6 to 14 players: haunted manors, vampires, masquerades and a spooky radio station. Play on phones or print.

Haunted manors, vampires and masquerades

Halloween already gives your guests a costume, so a murder mystery just gives them a character to go with it. Everyone plays a suspect, the clues arrive round by round, and the room votes on who did it before the big reveal. Choose from gothic manors, vampire galas, masquerades and more, including games rated for teens.

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, and large group mode takes an event up to 200.
• 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 Halloween Mystery

• Classic gothic: Masquerade of Malice, at a Victorian mansion on a cliff, or The Shadow of Halloway Manor, rated for teens and adults.
• Vampires: The Velvet Vein.
• Lighter and funnier: Static & Silence, set at a small-town radio station.
• Teens: The Alchemist's Apprentice, set at a magical boarding school.

Hosting a Halloween Murder Mystery

Send invitations and character assignments two or three weeks ahead, because October party calendars fill fast and guests need time to find a costume. Keep the lights low, and give out a prize for the best costume as well as for solving the case.
