It was amazing, the detective videos made it really easy to follow along and it was nice that everyone could play so nobody had to be the one really running it.

Exhibit A
Cold Case Unit — Evidence CopyCase No. 2002-1002Status: Unsolved

Subject: The Murder of Edward Munst

Late 1990s: Edward Munst is the co-founder of SafeTee.com — a poster child of the dotcom boom. Before the money came a string of failed ventures with Reggie Kent and Leslie Grayson.

October 2nd, 2002 — Munst is attacked and killed a few dozen yards from his own front door. A passer-by finds him; he dies on the way to St. Steven's Hospital.

Investigating officer’s note — “The dossier is intact. Statements, timelines, the evidence — the lot. This case doesn't need more paperwork. It needs a fresh pair of eyes.”

No one was ever charged. Reopened: tonight.

Exhibit A
Cold Case Unit — Evidence CopyCase No. CC-2501Status: Active

Subject: The Tarot Card Killer of Charon's Crossing

The murders are brutal. The messages are personal. And at every scene, a tarot card left behind.

The investigation keeps snagging on a series of killings from twenty-five years ago — when another murderer haunted the town's dark corners. Something from that time is bleeding into the present.

Investigating officer’s note — “Small group of suspects, all linked to the past. In a place like Charon's Crossing, everyone has secrets and no one is entirely innocent.”

The cards keep coming. Your consult starts tonight.

Subject: The Serenity County High Incident

1985. A storm blackout. Five students in detention. By morning, Vice Principal Harris is dead and student Mara Vale has vanished. The survivors' stories don't match.

Forty years on, the buried infrastructure is disturbed — and Mara returns, unchanged in age.

Investigating officer’s note — “A cassette played backwards through the old relay system. Whatever came through that night, the file couldn't hold it.”

Winter 2026. Press play — then rewind.

20:15, December 24th — the sleigh is tracked crossing the North Sea. Then, nothing. Tracking systems across the globe lose him at once. He is declared missing.

The JOLLY team is assembling. What — or who — is responsible?

Investigating officer’s note — “Every minute counts. If this case isn't cracked by morning, Christmas doesn't come.”

Status: missing. We must find Santa.

Your Questions, Answered

How does a murder mystery dinner party work?

In a Masters of Mystery murder mystery dinner party game, every guest plays a character with secrets to hide. Over dinner, players question each other, uncover clues and accuse suspects — until the killer is unmasked in the final reveal. Each kit includes a host guide, character booklets, evidence and detective videos, so no acting experience is needed.

How do you host a murder mystery party?

Choose a themed game to match your guest count, send each guest their character before the night, set the scene, and let the kit run the evening round by round. Our step-by-step guide covers invitations, food, costumes and timing: How to Host a Murder Mystery Party.

How many players do you need for a murder mystery game?

Masters of Mystery dinner party games flex from 4 to 20 players, with expansion packs for even larger groups. Cold case files and online escape rooms are designed for solo detectives, couples and small teams — so there's a mystery for every headcount.

What is a cold case file game?

A cold case file game is a solve-it-yourself detective experience: you receive a complete dossier — witness statements, photographs, police reports and evidence — and work through the clues to name the culprit. Masters of Mystery cold cases like Edward Munst and The Tarot Card Killer suit solo sleuths or date nights, taking around two hours to crack.

Can you play a murder mystery game over Zoom?

Yes — every Masters of Mystery game works in person around the table or remotely over a video call. Share each guest their character beforehand and host exactly as you would at home.

How long does a murder mystery game last?

Most murder mystery dinner party games run 1.5 to 3 hours depending on group size. Cold case files are self-paced — crack one in an evening or stretch the investigation across a week.

Can you replay a murder mystery game?

Yes — in Masters of Mystery replayable games the culprit is selected at random each time you play, so the same kit plays out differently with your next group of suspects.

Does the murderer know they did it?

In our replayable murder mystery games the culprit is drawn at random during the night — so often not even the murderer knows until the final reveal. Nobody has to lie, and everyone gets to play detective.
