Festive Party
We are moving this page from our old design, so it's still Under Construction

Murder at the Four Deuces Mature Box or Murder at the Four Deuces Mature Digital 

Experience the ultimate roaring 20's theme party with our great gatsby styled gangster murder mystery party game kit. This is a rip-roaring 1920s gangster murder mystery party game with plenty of plotting, bribery, and backstabbing to be had. This game is loosely based on some of the very first Chicago and New York Gangsters, their rivalries, speakeasies, and love lives. Al Capone was still a bouncer, just moving up in the "Family." 

Murder at the Four Deuces Tame Box or Murder at the Four Deuces Tame Digital

Now teens or those a little more conservative can experience a fun roaring 20's theme party with this gangster murder mystery party kit.

Murder at the Four Deuces 2 Box or Murder at the Four Deuces 2 Digital

This is the sequel to our very popular Murder at the Four Deuces takes place on New Year's Eve 1924.

Death By Chocolate Box or Death By Chocolate Digital

Experience the ultimate chocolate-themed hen party with our all-girls spa murder mystery party kit. It does include 5 optional male characters so that males can be included. Death By Chocolate is great for hen parties, bachelorette parties, pamper parties, and events where there are a lot of women and a few men.

The Immortal Murders Box or The Immortal Murders Digital

Political Intrigue among the Vampyr Houses, Mage Guild, Were Clans, and the Fae Court. This is not your normal ghouls and goblins party! It is time for the Hidden Councils Annual Costume Ball. This is the social event of the year. The Royalty of the Mage Guild, Were Clans, Vampyr Houses, and Fae Court will be in attendance. As always, when the Immortal Court gathers, you can expect political intrigue, barbed innuendos, backstabbing, and betrayal. So the same as any other day among royalty.

The Santa Clause Box or The Santa Clause Digital

It's time for the annual Holiday Party for the law firm Lie, Cheat, and Steal, a powerhouse law firm with influential ties to business, government, and politics. This party is one that everyone is just dying to attend. Quite literally, that is. Mr. A. Big Scam, the next in line to become a Partner in the firm, was found stuffed up his chimney in a Santa Suit!

A Killer Reunion Box or A Killer Reunion Digital

A very clean game suitable for conservative groups, and the main suspects are all couples very much in love. This is the same game as the Class of '57 below, but with this one, you can set this game in any decade or theme.

Class of '57 Box or Class of '57 Digital

It is time for the All Saints College Class of '57 Reunion. For one night, we will return to the good old days when Elvis was at the top of the charts. Sock hops, hula-hoops, and poodles were radioactive. Getting pinned meant something altogether different than it does these days. This is a squeaky-clean game.
