Murder in the Roaring 20s 6-14 Player Murder Mystery Flexi-Party

We used to do Murder Mystery parties in our 20s, now in our 60s I decided to do one for my 60th birthday. We had 6 players but it still worked well. The audio file that introduced each 'act' helped to se the scene, and the fact that everyone dressed up in 1920s clothes helped a lot. It is very well presented and easy to follow even after a number of glasses of champagne!! You are each given a script for each scene varying depending on whether you are the murderer. The scripts were very well written for each character and if you get into acting it out, it was very funny. It didn't really matter when it referred to other characters who were not sat around the table, it was just like they were in another room. Also you draw secret lots as to who will be the murderer at the start with only them knowing who it is - me as host didn't know. This means that you can play the game again and again. And with 14 characters you can change who people are on another occasion.

I bought this for my 30th birthday and had a roaring 20s murder mystery. All of my guests loved it. We had the 14 guest version which was great as you got given clues on what to wear to help those who may struggle with fancy dress. The instructions are clear and the story we had adds some humour which was nice. We would definitely buy one again or even use the same one again and again as the murderer isn’t always the same but dependant on who guests pick out the “hat” Great fun

Bought for a themed dinner party. Made the night a lot easier to navigate

We had a great time - I would absolutely recommend! Tips: If doing with a dinner party - try to prep your food, set your table and have the food ready to take out of the oven/fridge. We did this and I am so grateful as you can't excuse yourself as host in this game if you are playing. We did a mingle question set for round 1 before dinner. It takes a while but is a great way to warm your guests up to each other. Then for time's sake after dinner we did round 2 and 3 at the table. We really appreciated the quirky and funny writing and had such a fun evening. Well done!

Unlike murder mysteries I have done before, this one was really flexible. It worked well for a cocktail party environment. I actually had 20 people so made up 6 additional detective only characters so all were included.

This was our second game from this series, and we had a great time. Even my 11 year old joined in. We'll definitely do another.

We had great fun New Year playing this. Great thing there are a couple more scenarios so can be used again.

Had fun playing this game with the family for my birthday. I love the flexibility of the roles and the ability for the host to play a long too. Comes with very easy to follow instructions

Did this for my 40th birthday party. It was fun, and pretty simple to follow along. The best part is that there's replay value. I forget how, exactly, as it's been two years. I remember something of a random generator. But we kept it so we could possibly play again. I'd buy their other themed games.

I enjoyed the fun cast of characters. Probably able to reuse the game with a different set of players

We played this game at our Halloween party. The characters and the scrip are absolutely fantastic and quite funny. Our group really embraced their characters and most dressed their part. I would suggest letting people know which character they will be playing in advance to give them time to decide on their clothing/costume. It took us a little bit of a while to sort through how to play but it was well worth it. This comes with an online audio narrative of evidence that is played at certain points of the game. We also used the theme music to which we added some Halloween music as people came in the room. We will definitely be purchasing another game from this company; they have a number of themes.

We had an amazing time!!! Can’t wait to buy another & play again!! Highly recommend for a fun night with friends. It probably took around 3 hours for us but we also took breaks for food & drinks between the 3 scenes. The audio clips were found on the website (just Google it). I also bought little notebooks and pens so people could make notes while we played. I would recommend for older teens & adults. Younger kids may have trouble reading & following the character scripts. You can play the game with less than 14 people but my opinion is that the story makes more sense if you play with all the roles.

Great fun! Very easy to set up and play. Really is great to play from 6-14 characters. Only part I’m not sold on the murderer is chosen at random. The game then adjusts as necessary. Because the murderer is chosen at random, I’m not sure if all the characters have equal motive and therefore how logical it is to solve the crime. For instance, my character was the murderer. However, my character by nature didn’t have as strong of motive as others. Even though the game adjusted and gave me some stronger motive (because I was the murderer) it still wasn’t as strong as some others from the get-go. I don’t know if that makes sense. I suppose it’s like life where people’s motives won’t always make sense but the point of the party is to solve the crime and that can be hard. HOWEVER, the script, characters, and costumes were great fun! I would do it again for sure or another similar one.
