Frequently asked
Questions people ask before they click through.
What is a custom murder mystery game?
A custom murder mystery game is a personalized case built around the names, relationships, and city you provide. Instead of getting a generic script, you get a one-of-a-kind mystery shaped around your group.
Can I create my own murder mystery with real friends or family members as suspects?
Yes. You can create your own murder mystery by entering real first names, occupations, and relationship details for up to six suspects. Many customers use friends, coworkers, or family members as the cast.
Do I get a printable murder mystery game or do I need to play online?
You can do either. Your custom case is delivered digitally, so you can read it on screen or print it out like a printable murder mystery game for your event.
How long does it take to get my custom case after I order?
After payment, you complete the short intake, review the three story options, and choose the one you want. The final custom case usually takes about five minutes to generate, and your private access link is delivered automatically.
What details do I need to start a custom murder mystery party build?
You only need your email, your city, and your suspect details to begin. The fastest builds come from having first names, occupations, and relationship notes ready before you open the custom case builder.
