SYNOPSIS

The year is 1995 and school is in session here at Little Rapids High. Homeskillets are gettin’ jiggy with it and the music is hella fly. Virgins are called out, nerds get makeovers, and quirky guys serenade their true loves. A rich classmate is hosting a slammin' garage party while her attorney dad is out of town, leaving her free to do as she pleases in their extravagant crib. Of course, he told her no parties are allowed…so you know what that means. She is throwing the biggest garage party of the year. Everyone that doesn’t want to appear skeezy plans on being there. The whole school is talking about it. Everyone has been preoccupied with their yearbook status and passing history class and who is going to be valedictorian next year. You’re all ready to put aside those buzzkills to lower your inhibitions and chillax at a dope party. You have to take advantage of your parents leaving you the whole crib for a weekend. Those are the rules. So bring on the hip-hop music, the keg stands, and your best plaid shirt (or mini skirt). It’s time to party like it’s the 1990s!

What is a Murder Mystery Party?

A murder mystery party is an interactive role-playing game where you and your guests are the center of a gripping whodunit storyline. Each player assumes the identity of a unique character, all while attempting to uncover the truth behind a heinous crime. It's like stepping into your very own murder mystery movie, where everyone plays a crucial role in solving the case!

Party Roles

This party has the capacity for a minimum of 12 and maximum of 28 individual character roles. Expand your party with an unlimited number of detective roles. There is no script and no lines to memorize. Characters are given clue cards with talking points to direct the conversation. Each character has a backstory with secrets and questionable relationships with one another. They play an integral role in the story. As a character, you may find yourself in the role of a suspect, victim, or killer. Detective roles are available for anyone not interested in playing a character. These roles are far from mere spectators. They play an active part in the investigation, questioning suspects, gathering evidence, and unraveling clues. However, they do not have the pressure of being required to participate.
