We make it easier for you this year, breaking down the top mystery game choices for your Halloween murder mystery party!
The Halloween Party Murder
How easy is that? It’s a murder mystery that takes place at a Halloween party. Guests can wear any costume they like, or as the host, you can pick a theme for them to follow. You can include other activities, or just run the mystery. This package is designed to be flexible and fit into any Halloween party scenario.

The Phantom of the Auction House
A “clean” (no sex or drug references) murder mystery party, The Phantom of the Auction House takes place at a party at an auction house that is rumoured to be haunted. There are two mysteries to investigate: the murder and the enigma of the “phantom”. While “clean”, this mystery is still compelling, and will allow your guests to flex their sleuthing skills!

Salem Witches
Our newest Halloween murder mystery party offering, Salem Witches uses characters from the actual witch hunt. The murder takes place in the “cell”, which can be a single room in your home or a large multi-room venue. A relatively easy theme for your guests to costume, Salem Witches takes you and your guests back in time to the witch hysteria in Massecheusitz, to discover not only the identity of the killer, but also the actual witches in your midst. This murder mystery party is available in both co-ed and all-female versions.

A Flapper Murder at the 1920s Speakeasy
Our best-seller, A Flapper Murder at the 1920s Speakeasy is a compelling “clean” mystery set in the Roaring 20s at the height of prohibition. Flappers, gangsters and other mysterious characters make an appearance in the mystery of who killed Fanny Birchwood. A Flapper theme is incredibly easy to host these days, as all costume shops and Halloween speciality stores offer options for this red-hot theme!

The Masquerade Murder
Who doesn’t want an excuse to dress up in a fabulous gown (or tux), don a mysterious mask and take on a role as one of Venetian society’s elite? This murder mystery has been referred to as The Da Vinci Code of Murder Mystery Parties, has an element of conspiracy, and even an optional code breaking kit that can be added on to give your guests an extra challenge. Add a Virtual Tour of the Biblioteca Marciana, where the mystery party is set, and you’ll be giving your guests the opportunity to be utterly glamorous AND become a sleuth, all in one night!

The Pirates Revenge
Well, in spite of the fact that pirates were filthy, disgusting, disease-ridden humans who murdered people constantly, this theme is always popular at this time of year (the “sexy pirate” costume particularly makes us snicker). If a swashbuckling murder mystery game sounds like the type of party you and your guests would love, The Pirates Revenge is the best on the market! Twists and turns abound in this hilarious plot that is designed to keep you and your guests guessing until the very end!
2/5 on our Angel Rating scale (murder, sexual innuendo, gender-bending…)
