We take everything you know about murder mystery games and level it up with fun murder mystery party themes, a comprehensive host guide, and game materials all available for instant download.
Choose Your Game
Whether you want to traverse the stars or play a star, we have a mystery for you! We have a variety of games to choose from based on how many players you have. Pick the one that seems the most fun!
Invite Your Players
The first step of any good party is inviting your guests! Our games have a minimum and a maximum number of players.
Assign Characters
Each player receives a character profile explaining who they are and why they are there. As the host, the host guide has everything you need to ensure players are comfortable and have a great time.
Spoiler: A Murder Happens!
Players will mix and mingle and have an opportunity to get into character before the murder. Evidence and clues will kick off the rest of the game.
Let the Game Begin
After the murder, players will receive their goals and objectives. Then they have the rest of the game to blackmail, bribe, accomplish their goals, and figure out whodunnit!
At the end, your players will share secrets, swap stories, and get awards!
We would love for you to share your experience with us! Be sure to send your photos and reviews to foulplaycompany@gmail.com
