Some murder mystery nights unfold over dinner. Ours can unfold in a wizard's tower, on a storm-tossed pirate deck, or aboard a ship drifting somewhere well past the edge of the map. The Fantasy & Sci-Fi Murder Mystery Games collection from Masters of Mystery hands your guests a cloak, a tankard or a spacesuit and lets them bluff, scheme and accuse their way to the culprit — no dining table required, though it plays splendidly there too.
Pull on a robe for a wizard whodunnit, raise a tankard for a pirate caper, or beam aboard a sci-fi mystery where the killer could be light years from home. There's the medieval intrigue of Fantasy Medieval, the time-bending twists of Traitors of Time, and puzzle-led escape-room adventures such as Curse of Vendrick and Ceres Mission. Whether your crowd is a couple, a family or a full office team, there's a realm here with everyone's name on a character card.

Which fantasy or sci-fi mystery suits your night?
Each theme sets a different scene, so start with the world your guests will most enjoy stepping into.
Magic, myth and medieval intrigue
For a night of spellwork and suspicion, a wizard murder mystery turns your living room into a tower of secrets. Prefer swords to sorcery? Fantasy Medieval trades wands for courtly plotting, with a cast of knights, nobles and schemers who all have something to hide. Both give shy guests a wonderful excuse to disappear into a character, which makes them natural ice-breakers for birthdays and family get-togethers.
Pirates and high-seas adventure
A pirate murder mystery is all bluster, buried motives and mutiny below decks. Hand out the eyepatches, pour something dark and let your crew argue over who really scuppered the captain. It's a rowdy, costume-friendly option that suits a lively party crowd.
Sci-fi and time travel
If your guests would rather look to the stars, a sci-fi mystery game strands them aboard a vessel where the killer could be anywhere — or anywhen. Traitors of Time adds a time-bending layer for players who like their whodunnits with an extra twist of paradox. Futuristic, atmospheric and brilliant for a group that fancies something a little different.
Escape-room adventures
Want puzzles as well as suspects? Curse of Vendrick and Ceres Mission are escape-room adventures that swap pure deduction for locks, clues and a ticking clock, so your team is solving together rather than accusing each other. They're a great choice for office socials and puzzle-loving families. You'll find more of these in our full range of murder mystery games.
How many players do you need?
This collection stretches to fit your table. Some titles work beautifully as an intimate evening for a couple, while others open up to families and full office teams, with a character and a motive for everyone in the room. Quieter guests and natural performers all get a part to play, so nobody is left merely watching the drama unfold. Not sure how to run it? Our step-by-step guide to hosting a murder mystery party walks you through numbers, timings and the big reveal.
In person or virtual?
However your guests are gathering, these games keep up. Host in real life around the kitchen table with printed materials and a bit of costume, or play virtually over a video call when your suspects are scattered across screens. The characters, clues and satisfying reveal work exactly the same either way, so distance is no barrier to a good accusation.
Instant games and boxed kits
The games in this collection are instant to set up: choose your title, download the pack and you're ready to play in minutes, whether you print the materials or read straight from the screen. Across the wider Masters of Mystery range you'll also find boxed physical kits — those game kits are dispatched locally for your market, whether you're ordering in the USA, the UK or beyond — alongside solo and team-play cold case files and self-guided outdoor trails. Whatever you pick, there's no waiting around for the fun to begin.
Gifting a fantasy or sci-fi mystery
A themed mystery makes a memorable present for the fantasy fan, the sci-fi obsessive or the friend who has every board game going. Because the games in this collection are ready to play the moment they're set up, they make an easy last-minute gift for birthdays and festive get-togethers — hand over a whole evening of scheming rather than another gadget destined for a drawer.
Frequently asked questions
What's included in a fantasy or sci-fi murder mystery game?
Each game comes with everything you need to host: character packs for your guests, clues to chase, host notes to guide you and a satisfying reveal at the end. You simply assign characters, share the materials and let the accusations fly.
How many people do I need to play?
It depends on the title. Some work as an intimate evening for a couple, while others open up to families and full office teams. Each game lists its player range, and every guest gets their own character and motive so nobody is left out.
Can I play in person and over a video call?
Yes. Every game in this collection can be hosted in real life around the table or virtually over a video call. The characters, clues and reveal play out the same way whether your guests are in one room or spread across screens.
Are these games suitable for families and children?
Many are. Fantasy and sci-fi themes are especially good for mixed-age groups because they give everyone a fun character to hide behind. Check the description of your chosen game for its recommended ages before you buy.
Do I need to be good at acting?
Not at all. There are no actors to book and no lines to learn. Guests read from their character packs, follow the clues and enjoy the theatre of it, which is exactly why the fantasy and sci-fi themes make such easy ice-breakers.
Are these instant games or boxed kits?
The games in this collection are instant to set up — download the pack, print or read on screen and play in minutes. Across the wider Masters of Mystery range you'll also find boxed physical kits, which are dispatched locally for your market, whether that's the USA, the UK or elsewhere.
Which game should a beginner start with?
If it's your first time hosting, pick the world your guests will most enjoy — a wizard or pirate caper for pure fun, or an escape-room adventure like Curse of Vendrick or Ceres Mission if your group prefers puzzles to accusations. Our hosting guide covers everything else.
Can I buy one of these as a gift?
Absolutely. Because the games are ready to play as soon as they're set up, they make a brilliant last-minute present for birthdays and celebrations — a whole evening of mystery rather than another gadget.
