We gathered as a family on Christmas and did the Christmas Murder mystery that evening. We had a blast doing it, and laughed and enjoyed it immensely. The setup was easy and the booklets laid everything out great and easy to follow. Highly recommend it for a gathering.

Lots of options. Easy download

Lots of options. I also like that you can use the same game multiple times! Very easy to download the game. It has videos and written option to use in the game. We had lots of fun!!

Pirate Murder Mystery

We played a Pirate Murder Mystery on Hogmanay 2025. 8 players in total and we all dressed up as our characters. It was a fantastic night. Everyone got into the spirit of it. It took about 3 hours but we had food too and stopped for the New Year bells.

The game was easy to follow and the characters all very individual.

We had Pirate themed music playing in the background, treasure map tablecloth, plates& napkins, and pirate themed decorations & bunting up.

I bought the Masters of Mystery kit…

I bought the Masters of Mystery kit (the 1920s theme). Although it claims to be suitable for large groups (20–30 people), it’s actually far too complex for that many participants. The full script takes ages to get through, and the game runs well beyond the suggested 2.5 hours. I wouldn’t recommend it for a large group, and I’m not even sure I’d try it with a smaller one, as the preparation is also very time-consuming.

Masquerade Ball

We had a blast on New Years Eve with the Masquerade Ball murder mystery. We received clear instructions on how to play and useful tips for planning the evening including menu suggestions to fit the theme. The game can be played several times as the murderer is different each time.

I can’t recommend this murder mystery…

I can’t recommend this murder mystery enough ,
We had so much fun !
Everyone made a huge effort and dressed up as their characters and mastered them perfectly.
I decorated my dining room to fit the masquerade theme too.
We took our time , got sidetracked by the gossip and accusations and had an absolute blast .
Honestly can’t wait to do it all again !

Perfect Party Helper

I ordered the 1920s themed kit for New Year's Eve and everyone had a great time! We all got dressed up and everyone got super into character! We even almost ran out of time and had to rush at the end because we were having too much fun! I would definitely suggest for any friend group who loves to get dressed up and play games together! I loved that even as a host I was able to participate as a player since there are recordings for the detective and you can randomize the murderer.

Great Time For All Ages

The Christmas Murder Mash Up game was a lot of fun. We were lucky enough to have 15 people play with us. Everybody had a great time. It was a fantastic way to share the holidays with friends and family. We'll do it again next year!

Team building party

Purchased for a work party/team building activity. Wide age range of people and everyone had such a great time. The box set was so great, the physical booklets made it top tier, everyone loved the physical evidence and the inspector videos. And it was easy enough for everyone to follow along with but hard enough that only two people out of 14 guessed who the murderer was! Overall a great experience and I can’t wait to host another one!

Only critique is that I wish they had an option to buy large print version.

Experiences for All Occasions, Age Groups and Themes!

The games we have used from Masters of Mystery have all been so fun. We have been able to find experiences for all sorts of occasions, age groups and interests. And anytime I have had an issue (usually user error) they have been so fast to help and so easy to work with! Highly recommend.

We had a lot of fun

We had a lot of fun, and I can imagine it being great for really large groups. There were eight of us, and I found the characters to be a bit more two-dimensional than in other games.
