This year we'll be hosting our fourth annual Halloween murder mystery party. We use Flexi murder mysteries exclusively and LOVE them. So far we've done Murder at the Manor, Murder in the Roaring 20's, and Murder at the Disco. We can't wait to have our Shakespearian party this year. Thanks!
Very good fun, the 'deal a murderer' is great as nobody knows whodunnit and you can play with odd numbers of guests (so many sets are couple-centric).
The flipside though is that the pre-recorded evidence goes through ALL the possible suspects and becomes tedious when three or four aren't active. This can lead people to switch off a bit.
But overall really good fun, a solid 4 stars.
