“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐2nd year in a row using this company for our annual murder mystery and again it was top notch! We had such a wonderful time and they think through EVERYTHING when putting all the details together. They make is super easy and so much fun to host and play these party’s. They are super easy to communicate with and always are willing to help with anything that comes up. Definitely pick them if you are looking at different murder mysteries worth every penny!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐WANDERSTAR was an absolute blast! My husband and I spent the week making space decorations for our home and when our friends came, they were all dressed in full space-cowboy gear. I read the rules and script, and we were off! Everyone was in character trying to complete their objectives and once the murder happened, things really sped off with everyone trying to find the murderer and complete their side missions before the night was over! What was really great was the before and after murder goals/objectives were well explained for each character, so all of us were able to get right into character and know what we should be doing, so there weren’t many questions or extra explanation needed.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We played Wanderstar and we all agreed the storylines were so interesting we almost forgot to solve the murder! The party went over really well, and my friends and I all agreed we’ll definitely be playing one of your games again. Thank you for all your hard work and for making my birthday a great one!”

-
It can take as little as a couple hours to print and prepare your party and you can do it in the same day if you would like. We format our materials in black and white for easy printing.
-
While you only need a couple of hours to print and prepare your party, most hosts prefer at least a week to give their guests time to read over their profile, get excited, and find a costume for their role.
-
Very minimally! As host, you will send players their Character Profiles ahead of time, which will prepare them for your party.
-
Costumes are optional, but highly encouraged. And there is a Best Costume award at every murder mystery party!

Because the victim does die during the toast at our murder mystery parties, we have included another suspect for them to come back as after their “death”. They are not out of the game, and that extra suspect is included in the player count.
