TYPES OF GAME
Downloadable games you can play at home, at a venue or in your office.
In most of our murder mystery games, everyone has their own character to play and plenty of opportunity to mix and mingle with everyone else. As well has having at least one murder to solve, people have other objectives for their characters to pursue. An inheritance to claim, perhaps. A will to forge. A love affair to keep secret. There is plenty for everyone to do while the game is happening and plenty more to talk about afterwards, when people find out what everyone was really getting up to. From the feedback we get about them, we know people find them great fun to play. Because there is so much in them, they take a while to put together and get ready - allow a few hours for this. The games are: Farthingay Manor, The Reading of the Will, Murder Aboard, The Final Curtain, The Auction, The Last Gasp, Cudham Riding Club and St. Cakes.
Virtual, online murder mysteries you can also play as a group gathered in one room/venue.
Two of our games can be played this way. You can either use a video app like Zoom and all be in different places for it. Or you can share the same space and play it together over a meal. These whodunits are quick to put together and easy to run but still have plenty going on in them. Some people play characters and everyone else is there to observe and solve the crime. Part of it is scripted; part of it lets those playing characters improvise and put things in their own words. These Zoom murder mystery party games which can also be played by one single group are Murder in the Red Room and The Chocolate Bar Mystery.

Our own original murder mysteries
We write our own murder mystery games. We can run them for you or you can run them yourselves. Since 1989, many private groups and many of the world's largest corporations have enjoyed playing them.
Since the arrival of the Internet, we've been able to bring online murder mystery dinner party games into your living room at very affordable prices. Spend the rest on the best wines, the best food or on costumes as you participate in a sophisticated yet enjoyable game of dual identities and unparalleled scheming.
Simply buy, download and play the game
Our games are not available in the shops. You download each entire game from the Internet.
Murder in the Red Room and The Chocolate Bar Mystery are our two simplest games and easiest to put together. They are perfect for Zoom murder mystery parties but can also be played by people all in the same room. If you want more than 14 of your guests to play characters and can all gather together, try one of our other games. After buying from us, we email you a link which enables you to download the game. See our "Note on copyright" below for how the games may be used. Unless you have our permission or are a charity, you cannot run them for financial gain.
Our two simplest games can be run online without printing anything out. To put our other plots together, you will need a printer, paper, envelopes, paperclips, pen and scissors.
