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

Total hit! I researched a lot of different options, and this game by far seemed the least cumbersome and seamless to pull off. Scripts are provided which can easily be adjusted with ad lib for added humor or theatrical flair by participants, but for those people who are more reserved having a guided script to follow seemed to really help. The fact that the game is so flexible in terms of characters and the murder is picked randomly at the start of the game also made this so much easier than other games i researched. Cost is also far less expensive than most. The audio recordings are great, and that was also a big hit with guests. We followed the dinner menu plan and not the mingling option. We had the full 14 characters participate so we divided each act by cocktail hour, appetizers, meal and dessert then everyone came back together to do the scripted portions. Flowed really nicely. Took about 3 hours doing it that way. Would definitely suggest this for anyone attempting a party like this for the first time!

This murder mystery game contains everything you need besides guests, costumes, and decorations. No printing required because everything is already printed out. It even comes with invitations that have costume suggestions on the back. Just follow the easy to understand host guide and prepare the audio files ahead for easy play when needed. Dialogue is provided, so no one needs to be nervous about what they are going to say. It's also neat that the murderer is random, so you can pass the game to others to reuse when you're done with it or play it years later. I would definitely recommend this game to others, but I do suggest following the manufacturer's age suggestion and have only adult guests because of the sexual humor and references to violence/gore that could either go over a child's head or get them asking some questions. 😂

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.

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.

Great fun! Very easy to set up and play. Really is great to play from 6-14 characters. Only part I’m not sold on the murderer is chosen at random. The game then adjusts as necessary. Because the murderer is chosen at random, I’m not sure if all the characters have equal motive and therefore how logical it is to solve the crime. For instance, my character was the murderer. However, my character by nature didn’t have as strong of motive as others. Even though the game adjusted and gave me some stronger motive (because I was the murderer) it still wasn’t as strong as some others from the get-go. I don’t know if that makes sense. I suppose it’s like life where people’s motives won’t always make sense but the point of the party is to solve the crime and that can be hard. HOWEVER, the script, characters, and costumes were great fun! I would do it again for sure or another similar one.

There were 7 of us that played this game and we had so much fun dressing up and acting out the parts! It was pretty easy to follow and nice that it gave you lines to read and you don't know who the murderer is until the end. You can either read from the book or play the narration from the website provided, which is what we did. I wish I would have taken more photos of the decor because I went all out and got compliments from everyone. The nice thing is that it didn't take too long to complete. Our group now wants to do another one for Christmas!

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!

I love these parties! I’ve hosted the roaring 20’s one, murder at the disco and murder at the manner. I love that they can do up to 14ppl and the audio clips really add to the game. I’d highly recommend this company.
