​​

You agree to all the rules and information below upon purchasing a ticket. Please do NOT buy a ticket before you read everything and understand. The integrity of the party depends on it. If there is anything that you do not understand or have any questions, please email us before you purchase a ticket.

 

Email and Phone number- Your correct email and phone number are crucial for this party! You will receive all your essential party information via email or text message. Please make SURE you give an active email and double-check to ensure we have the correct email. If we do not get an RSVP email from you after you receive your part, your ticket will be canceled, and your part will be given to someone else.

​

We ask that you do not attend if you do not plan on playing the mystery game! WE WANT TO KEEP THE GAME'S INTEGRITY AS NOT TO RUIN THE PARTY FOR OTHERS. Do Not buy a ticket if you are not sure you can come! Everyone will be given a part to play; therefore, it is vital that you show up. Emergencies are okay, but we ask that you please call us or email us if you cannot attend. This is VITAL, allowing us time to assign your role to another attendee.

 

*All mystery parties will be somewhat written for originality so that you can't find the ending online, and it won't ruin the party for you or others. 

​

What happens at the mystery party- The mystery party is not a dance! This party is more of a game.

Each attendee will receive a character to play via email. Feel free to dress in character! Shortly after the ticket sales have stopped, you will receive a formal invite with your character information and pre-game instructions (this helps get you into character for party night). You must send us an RSVP email stating that you have received your part and understand everything. You can also use that time to express any concerns or questions. We will email everyone the week of the party; RSVP to that email as well! Once you arrive at the event, you will pick up your round 1 clue envelopes. Each round will have an envelope for your character; inside the envelope are the clue cards and paper money. We will explain what the money is for and guide you through your interactions for the night.

 

Example of how the night will go.

Rules for the mystery party- PLAYER INSTRUCTIONS You are about to enjoy three rounds of gameplay. Each round, you will receive a card containing the information you need to play your character's role.

 

ROUND ONE: will break the ice, build your character, and establish motives for the murder. Take time to get to know the other characters and focus on the growing storyline around you. There are two sets of clues on your card: those to reveal as you mingle with others and personal clues to conceal. As in real life, you know more about your character than anybody else in the room. Do not worry. If these secrets about your character need to come out to solve the mystery, they will. However, use personal clues to help you decide how to react to others during the game. You will mingle about with others to engage in private conversations while sharing and discussing your clues. Speak to everyone at least once.

 

ROUND TWO: the cards are divided into pre and post-murder segments on your clue cards. The motives become clear this round. The players will mingle and discuss their pre-murder clues while the story builds. All of the pre-murder clues are to be shared and discussed. The victim is notified by their clue card and will have instructions on how to become the victim. The victim remains in the game and continues to play like everybody else. After the exciting victim reveal, the investigation begins! Interrogate everybody, view the evidence, share and discuss the post-murder clues on your cards in private or semi-private conversations as you have done previously, and put the story pieces together to make your best guess of whodunit! You never know – your character could be the killer!

 

ROUND THREE: You’ll be asked to accuse who you believe murdered the victim. It could be any character in the game. If you believe it is your character, you will write your character’s name down as whodunit and accuse yourself. Afterward, you will be handed a solution card. The suspects will read their solutions in front of the group, and the guilty party will confess! DIRECTIVES WORTH MENTIONING: Do not fabricate clues or lie in any way (unless your card specifically instructs you to), as this will spoil the mystery for others. Do not break character until the game is over! Play your role as you wish. If you feel reserved, remain in the shadows and allow others to approach you. On the other hand, if you crave the limelight—seize it and be a star! Have a marvelous time – that is mandatory.
