We supply customisable murder mystery games to professional hosts. Our games are flexible enough to ensure every event is a success.

Our kits make your events easier to organise!

Our characters are gender neutral so you can invite anyone you want, and have them play whoever they want.

All our mysteries are PG, and our characters are age neutral.

Our mysteries have multiple culprits.

Novices will aim to catch 1-2.

Master sleuths will aim to catch them all.

Even if your whole party is filled with master sleuths, players can set themselves apart by submitting their answers early. The fastest correct answers get extra rewards at the finale.

When you book, we will send you a list of characters so you can choose who you want to play / dress as.

If you don’t pick a character, we can assign you one at the event.

Some other games have complex character flow charts to follow.

Ours is simple: choose any characters, as long as you pick at least one from each team.

All our characters are age and gender neutral, so you can assign anyone to any character.

As long as one person from each guild (team) remains, you’re perfectly fine.

Even a murderer leaving won’t kill our games, since there’s multiple murderers!

In other games, it’s possible for just one person (the murderer) to leave the party early, and ruin the finale. It’s especially common in other games if the murderer “has amnesia” and doesn’t know they need to stick around for the finale!

In our games, backups are built into the design:

– people know they are the murderer, so they stick around

– even if a murderer must leave, their team are still murderers

– even if an entire team of murderers leave, there’s more teams of murderers left

We’ve never had a finale ruined!

Our games are specifically designed to scale infinitely.

We have been used to cater to events with hundreds of guests.

At an additional expense, we can tailor our mysteries to suit any theme.

Only three things must happen. Guests must:

  • – get their character information
  • – hear the opening address
  • – hear the grand finale

     

Everything else is flexible!

Do meals whenever you want. Have breaks whenever you want. Run whatever games or events you prefer.

Schedule meals whenever you like. We will work around them with five minutes notice.

The only thing that must occur is the grand introduction and the grand finale, and they can happen any time.

Our game mechanics are intuitive and consistent, so our instructions are a third as long as some other games’!

And every theme uses the same structure, so when you master one, you master them all!

Your guests will have more fun!

Don’t you hate it when the murder is impossible to solve until the detective reveals everything?

Some other games are impossible to solve unless the host hands you the essential clues. Sometimes only one lucky person or team will be able solve the murder, when they’re handed the critical clue at the end of the night.

We think that’s totally unfair!

VIP Mystery™ games are fairplay whodunnits. That means you can always solve the mystery before the host reveals the answer. Our mysteries are solvable by everyone from the start of the event.

If guests solve the mystery quickly, then we allow guests to murder each other, and solve those too!

So not only can you offer an actually solvable mystery, but you can offer just the right level of challenge to your guests.

Some other games have you chasing red herrings, until a final round where 1-2 clues solve the mystery. We don’t think it’s fair that a new round of information could make all your other work obsolete.

VIP Mystery™ games have no red herrings. Every clue can help you eliminate a suspect, or get you closer to the murderer(s).

We believe everyone should start with a fair shot at winning, and those who work the smartest, hardest, and fastest should win.

Some other games:

  • – Start some characters off with ludicrously different amounts of resources. Often the person who starts with the most ends up winning.
  • – Use chance to hand out 1-2 vital clues in the final moments that single handedly solve the mystery, rendering everything else obsolete. Whoever gets those 1-2 clues automatically wins, and nobody else stands a chance.
  • – Can be won by making a single lucky guess at who the culprit is.


It’s okay when a game that runs for 2-3 seconds is decided by luck, b
ut when a game runs for 2-3 hours we believe that the winner should be decided by skill.

In VIP Mystery™ games: 

  • – Everyone starts with equal amounts of money, and information. 
  • – There’s no single clue or event that gives everything away. 
  • – The effect of luck is averaged out, because there is more than one culprit to catch.

That means those who work the smartest, hardest, and fastest are more likely to win.

Some games make the MC choose a winner by deciding who told the best story at the end.

Not only does this mean guests can be upset by the MC’s subjective decision, but it gives an advantage to people who wait to hear other people’s answers!

In VIP Mystery™ games the winner is clear: whoever has the most money wins.

We want you to feel immersed in the magic.

Some other games break the suspension of disbelief:

– Everyone has amnesia.
– Suspects read from scripts.
– There is branding, ads, and social media hyperlinks on evidence.
– The murder victim is “ressurected” (in a non-supernatural story) so they can investigate their own murder, and this miraculous feat is promptly ignored.
– They run party games where a person died moments ago.
– Clues are pre-typed chunks of the full story, as if there’s an omnipotent writer dropping paragraphs from a book into the room.

  • VIP Mystery™ games are truer to life:
  • – Everyone knows what their character knows.
    – Suspects say what they please.
    – Evidence is free from branding and social media hyperlinks.
    – The murder victim remains dead.
    – We don’t run party games in an active crime scene.
    – Clues are actual evidence, not just a chunk of a story.

This is not only more enjoyable, but it makes solving the mystery more intuitive. Think a person did it? Go interrogate them!

A lot of other games rely on the murderer suffering “amnesia”. That means that the murderer has no idea who they are.

In the worst cases, everyone has amnesia, so you can’t even ask the other players what they know. That doesn’t make any sense to us, and it’s so much less fun!

In VIP Mystery™ games, you know everything the character you’re playing knows.

That means you can interrogate other people to get information, and the murderer(s) will be trying to sabotage you from discovering them, just like a real case!

We believe you shouldn’t be advertised to while solving a mystery.

The evidence pulled from our crime scenes isn’t covered with our company logos, or hyperlinks to our social media.

We have more rewards, and they are easier to hand out.

Some other games have 10-30 “clues” hosts can hand out as rewards each round. At best, this means hosts need to carefully ration rewards. If they use up all the clues in that round, they can’t incentivise people to do fun things. At worst, they can hand out the wrong clues, and spoil the evening.

VIP Mystery™ games have three times as many rewards, and it’s in the form of money. That means hosts don’t need to worry about rationing or spoilers, and players can get rewarded three times as often!

We use thicker paper, so that you can write on it even without a table.

No big pages you need to fold and unfold. Everything fits in your pocket.

Our games are specifically designed to work seamlessly online.

No delays

Some other online games are cumbersome, requiring guests to wait for 20-30 minutes at the start of the event for the host to set them up with characters and information.

VIP Mystery™ games give you everything you need to play ahead of time. You’re ready to begin the moment everyone arrives.

Constant engagement

Some other online games are slow for players. The hosts must regularly break to privately message people more information.

VIP Mystery™ games are all gas, no breaks. We don’t need to stop to privately message people. Everything you need is frontloaded so we can go full steam for 1-3 hours.

No cheating. More backstabbing.

Some other online games rely on all the guests to be truthful when trading the information they’ve received. This means the mystery can be impossible to solve if they lie, or even just make an error.

In VIP Mystery™ games it’s impossible to cheat by lying. In fact, lying is encouraged! It’s up to guests to compare stories to deduce who is deceiving them.
