Death at an Elite Wine Tasting

An elite crowd is gathered in the wine cellars of the renowned Château des Folles for an earthshattering introduction—the world’s oldest (and smelliest) cheese variety is about to meet a wine that has been scientifically formulated to bring out its full flavour.

Alain Bosc, the eccentric billionaire who sponsored the wine-and-cheese project, slouches up to the platform to greet the celebrities and aristocrats who have gathered here to sip and nibble. He gruffly thanks the scientists who genetically modified the wine grapes and the monks and nuns from the abbey that has been making the cheese for centuries.

Then he uses his fingers to take a piece of cheese from his solid gold plate, and follows it with a gulp of wine from his solid gold goblet. He licks his fingers and says, “Ah! A perfect pai—” before he chokes and falls to the floor, dead.

Can you say murder? You are there too—maybe YOU did it!

Invites with their faces on
1The Invitations

Invites with their faces on

Cast your guests and the app sends each one a cinematic invitation — their character, their costume brief, and an RSVP that fills your table for you.

Every phone becomes a secret dossier
2The Green Room

Every phone becomes a secret dossier

Before the party, each guest steps into the green room — their character portrait, their backstory, their costume, and lines only they can see.

The app picks the killer — in secret
3The Reckoning

The app picks the killer — in secret

One tap, and someone in the room becomes the murderer. Only their phone knows. They read the guilty lines; everyone else plays it straight. Nobody can spoil it — not even the host.

Evidence, detective audio — and one final countdown
4The Investigation

Evidence, detective audio — and one final countdown

Tap-to-examine evidence lands each round, the Detective's recordings set the scene, and when it's time, a synchronized countdown unmasks the killer on every phone at once.

More ways to play

Dress the part

Snap a photo in costume and it becomes your character's face all night — in the parlour, on the ballots and at the reveal.

Capture the night

Every guest's photos and videos collect in one shared party album — to relive the morning after.

Detective or suspect

Run the night as the Detective, or play a character yourself and let the app's recordings narrate.

Together these materials guide you through hosting your own wine-tasting murder mystery evening set in the wine cellars of the renowned Chateau des Folles, from sending invitations to unmasking the killer.

Can I play this Wine Tasting murder mystery game more than once?

Yes. Death at an Elite Wine Tasting is fully replayable. The murderer is selected at random each time you play, so the culprit changes from one game night to the next.

Do players need to dress up in costumes for this Wine Tasting murder mystery?

Dressing up is entirely optional, but it is strongly encouraged, as costumes bring the elegance of the wine cellars of Chateau des Folles to life and make the evening far more memorable.

For this wine-tasting theme, think upper-class, posh and refined looks, such as sommeliers, aristocrats and well-to-do guests. Each character booklet includes costume suggestions to help everyone dress the part.

Can I add more players or characters to this Wine Tasting murder mystery game?

This kit is built to accommodate up to 20 adults, with flexible cast sizes so you can scale the guest list to suit your gathering.

If you would like to host an even larger group, expansion packs can be added to increase the number of characters. Guests who prefer not to take a speaking role can also join in as detectives helping to solve the case.
