About Dinner and a Murder Mystery Party Games

I started out hosting murder mystery dinner parties in local restaurants and conference rooms in 2000 after my youngest son Chance was born. I purchased a really horrendous game from an online vendor and faced terrible embarrassment when I hosted it. It was a very hard lesson that led to one of the best things to ever happen to me. After this experience, I wrote my first game, determined to never have to rely on the unknown for my reputation. It took 4 months of working 60-hour weeks to write our first game, Murder at the Four Deuces. Based on real-life characters and events in the roaring twenties in Chicago, it was a HUGE hit at my next hosted event. I decided to offer it for sale online so others could enjoy it too. Within weeks the murder mystery game business was doing better than the dinner theater ever had and it allowed me to stay home with my infant son. So, goodbye to dinner theater, and hello to what you see before you now.
