How does Murder In A Box work? [Top]
Murder In A Box is a murder mystery party pack that contains everything you need to run a fabulous murder mystery party.
Once you get the download you have 2 choices:
1) Murder In A Box is a do-it-yourself party pack so you, a friend or family member can be the host. Hosting your party keeps the cost down and is very exciting (Standard Edition does not require a host).
2) Hire a host from your local theatre group.
Does each guest get a character and a script? [Top]
Each guest will be allocated a character at the party. Premium Edition games use funny character names. Murder In A Box games use clues instead of scripts. Our research shows that guests prefer this much more.

I have done a murder mystery before, why is yours different? [Top]
You probably played "How to host a murder". This game is for exactly 8 people where Murder In A Box games are much more flexible.
Can we have food? [Top]
Yes. Finger food and platters work really well during a murder mystery or you can play the game over dinner.
Where should I hold the event? [Top]
Standard Edition games can be played anywhere and in any venue.
Because Premium Edition games involve playing games and your guests doing lots of fun and silly things they need a quiet venue with lots of space.
You can hold a murder mystery at home or in a function venue. Try any venue which:
- Is completely private i.e.: not a restaurant with other patrons.
- Is very quiet i.e. no bands or DJs next door.
- Has plenty of room to move around.
- You need one central area big enough for all guests at one time.
What should I tell my guests? [Top]
Each guest receives an invitation explaining that they will be attending a murder mystery and it also provides costume suggestions. You fill in the details and send the invitations out. No acting is required just mingling and sleuthing.
Can some guests just watch? [Top]
Yes! Your guests can choose their level of participation.
Can we run the Murder Mystery as a fundraiser? [Top]
Absolutely! Many groups use one of our packs and run the party themselves. They charge $15 to $20 a head for nibbles and the mystery.
What is the best theme for an all girl’s party or Hen’s Night? [Top]
You have two choices:
- Our “Hollywood Scandal” theme has characters that could either be boys or girls with names like “The Star” and “The Producer”.
- Our "Wild West" theme involves a wedding and a baby swap and is great for a Hen’s Night (some guests will be boys but this increases the fun!)
Do we dress up? [Top]
Costumes are not required, but they are fun. Guests can dress in costume or in a high class outfit.
Should I decorate? [Top]
Many people like to “set the scene” with decorations.
How long will it last? [Top]
