Hi, I'm Bethany, the creator behind Mischief Games
If you’ve ever hosted a murder mystery and thought, “this is way too much work”… same.
I’ve played a lot of murder mystery games. Like, a lot. Most of them were stressful to host, full of spoilers, or stuck in the same tired themes. 1920s, I’m looking at you.
And even if you paid attention, the clues didn’t actually lead anywhere.
I wanted something better. Easy to host, more modern, and actually satisfying to solve. Most importantly, I wanted a game where the host could play too, completely spoiler-free.
So I wrote my own.
Let customers speak for us
This was a BLAST! It's easy to organize. The characters are a riot. The plot has twists that were fun suprises. 10/10 would recommend.
I can't reccommend the Mischief Games Mysteries any higher - they're so well organised and easy to run!
Our whole party had the best time, there was no awkwardness or confusion, and the mystery itself was complex enough that we still understood everything but didn't know who the killer was! It went for the perfect amount of time, and everyone was engaged at all points.
The host still gets to participate as normal, and the only prep required is printing off materials + organising costumes. I sent everyone their character a few weeks before, and made sure no one knew who others were to add to the mystery.
We're planning to do the 'Uproar in the Jungle' mystery next week, so goes to show how much we all enjoyed it! :)
We played this game for our daughters' 17th Birthday party and it was a hit! The game was very well-laid out, from host directions to guest pamphlets for each round identifying goals for each player. Everyone was inspired by the character description, including motives and costumes suggestions and players were surprised in the end by who was the killer!
We haven’t played yet but I’m the organizer and I have organized and sent all of the info to the group. I am so impressed with the instructions, organization and content of this mystery!
I’ll write another review after our event.
Great first murder mystery experience!
My friends and I had so much fun! It was very easy to follow and easy to avoid spoilers if you also wanted to play a character as the host. Everyone dressed up and got super into their characters. Would definitely get another kit!
We did this Y2K themed murder mystery kit for NYE and it was our first murder mystery party ever. The rules were simple, the characters were elaborate and easy to fall into and the setup was ideal for people to be creative and have a good time. I cannot recommend this product enough! We laughed and cackled all night. We’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to do one of these group games.
Well organized and easy to follow. Individual player cards were appreciated a lot.
I wanted something fun for my birthday party and found this kit. We had a blast. The instructions were very easy to understand and the characters fun to play.
Also special thanks for the service 💗
My work team had so much fun playing in character, it was a great end of year party! I loved that I could host and play too, no spoilers if you follow instruction.
this was so fun! played for my 25th birthday! first time playing and hosting a murder mystery party and it was honestly a breeze! definitely recommend!
The greatest way to spend Halloween. Characters and plot were incredible and so well written. I had to sift through a lot of AI slop before I found this but thank god I did.
Great for office parties!
Our office had so much playing this game for our Halloween party!
This was our company's second time using Mischief Games and it was a huge hit! The set up is so easy and comprehensive which made it great for employees with limited time to prepare their character/costume. The descriptions and copy are so fun and engaging. It was a great way to get to know other team members through a performance of spooky and silly mystery
