“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Came with everything I needed to throw a fantastic evening. Was perfect for my group of newbies to be gently introduced to murder mystery type parties.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My group had a really fun time with this one! We would definitely play another by them!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐SO much fun!! I ran this as part of a bachelorette party. We all dressed up, had themed food, leaned into the characters hard, and it was absolutely incredible. The characters were well done with enough cues to keep you talking and interacting. I wish I could play again! I might be hooked haha”
