Throw the ultimate 90s-themed murder mystery party with Die 4 U! Perfect for 7–15 players, this retro-inspired murder mystery game brings boy bands, backstage drama, and neon vibes to life. Great for group game nights, birthdays, or sleepovers.

2. Pick a Venue:
Hosting in person? Decorate your living room like a TRL set or grunge dive bar. Prefer to go virtual? Die 4 U is Zoom- and Discord-friendly. Whether you’re partying in flannel or PJ pants, you’ll be immersed in the drama of the BEAT Awards afterparty.

3. Send the Invites:
Let your guests know they’re invited to the hottest afterparty of the decade. You can use Canva, Evite, or a Facebook event to send out digital invites and don’t forget to tell them to dress like their characters would! Think butterfly clips, cargo pants, band tees, and boy band bling.

4. Assign Characters:
Once your guest list is locked in, use our host guide to assign characters. From pop idols to industry insiders, each guest will get a secret backstory, objectives, and maybe even a motive. You can assign the victim to a player who keeps playing after their “death,” and we’ve got tips for assigning roles based on personality types or experience levels.

5. Prep the Game:
Set the stage for the ultimate 90s mystery. If you're hosting in-person, print out your materials ahead of time (don’t forget the solution!). Hosting online? Keep the files organized on your computer for easy sharing mid-game via email or chat.

6. Add the Nostalgic Touches:
Now for the fun stuff! Build a 90s playlist (we’ve got one ready for you), lay out themed snacks, and decorate with lava lamps, posters, glowsticks, and more. Our Pinterest board is packed with inspo to help you create the perfect vibe.

And last but not least, let us know how your party goes by sending any special moments or fun pictures to foulplaycompany@gmail.com! We would love to see them!
