Murder in the Monarchy

The Monarchy of Slobovia has been rocked by scandals. The Lord High Chancellor has decided that the only solution is to ask the people to decide which member of the royal family is the worst offender and then banish them from the realm.

The reigning monarch, Flippity XIV, agrees and summons the extended royal family for the momentous announcement. Medals, tiaras and ermine capes are brought out of storage as everyone hastens to obey.

Among the pomp and regalia in the Great Hall, tensions run high. Who will be named the “The Shame of Slobovia”? Who will be disgraced and exiled? Most importantly, who will lose their royal allowance?

The Lord High Chancellor is the only one who knows the wishes of the people. He steps forward to make the announcement, chokes suddenly and falls to the floor—dead.
Was it a convenient coincidence, or was it a right royal murder? And if it was a murder, whodunit?

Quelle est la meilleure murder party sur le thème Royal ?

An monarchy-themed murder mystery game transports players to a world of crowns, courtiers, and conspiracies.

Filled with regal tension, scandalous subplots, and political power plays, this style of game is perfect for those who enjoy drama, deception, and a taste of historical grandeur.

Peut-on jouer à cette murder party Royal à 10 personnes ?

Yes, the game is perfect for a group of 10. The base version supports between 4 and 14 players, making 10 an ideal number for pacing and balanced storytelling. Each player receives a unique character with backstory, private objectives, and a potential connection to the crime. The format also makes it easy to adapt if you need to add or remove players at the last minute.

Whether players are seated in drawing rooms or joining via screen from across the country, the story remains immersive and engaging.

Combien de temps dure cette murder party Royal ?

Most groups finish the game in 1.5 to 3 hours. For a group of 10, you can expect around two hours of gameplay, depending on how much players get into character, how quickly clues are revealed, and whether you include meal breaks or intermissions. The game is designed to be flexible and can be run as an elegant evening event or a lively afternoon activity.

Que contient le kit de murder party Royal ?

The kit also includes recommendations for setting, music, and costume ideas to help you create a fully immersive royal atmosphere.

À partir de quel âge cette murder party Royal est-elle recommandée ?

Customer photo review of Monarchy Game & Royal Family Themed Murder Mystery Game Kit

Everyone seemed to enjoy it. We had to do a lot of printing (cost of ink) and slightly adapted the assignment of guilty/innocent labels to people. Enjoyed using part audio and part paper. Worked quite well. Had 6 people and I played both a character and leader.

Customer photo review of Monarchy Game & Royal Family Themed Murder Mystery Game Kit

We had a wonderful experience with Masters of Mystery. I hosted it at our home for my daughter’s 17th birthday, and she specifically chose the Royal Family theme because she was already familiar with the company. She invited a group of friends who are mostly thespians, and they really leaned into their roles—everyone had an absolute blast. The setup was very manageable, and I appreciated all the host suggestions, from meal ideas to a Spotify playlist. The recordings from the Marshal of the Realm were a great touch and very helpful, and I liked that the host role mainly involved reading aloud. If I were to do anything differently, I’d spend a bit more time reviewing the host duties ahead of time, but overall everything went smoothly. I also love that the mystery is randomized each time, so it can’t be reused. This is something we would definitely do again and highly recommend to others.

Customer photo review of Monarchy & Royal Family Coronation Party Themed Murder Mystery Game Kit

Murder in the Monarchy is such an entertaining and enjoyable game that was so fun to be part of and celebrate my birthday with. I had a blast with all my friends and family. Decorating and customising the invites to suit the theme of royals was so fun. I love the game and it’s great that you can replay it again and again and you never know who the murderer is until the night!

Customer photo review of Monarchy Game & Royal Family Themed Murder Mystery Game Kit

Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! This was months in the planning, as I began my list of potential suspects in May, but on Friday, October 13th, mayhem, murder and fun ensued, MUCH to everyone's delight! I secured a Lord Marshal, who took over our house as each suspect arrived at the palace, which you can see in the photos! I also had a butler added to the cast (Jay Guarr) who worked as an undercover Deputy Marshal!! I also devised a new way to randomly pick the murderer, so NO ONE would know until the end of that evening, when the Lord Marshal made his announcement!! And as you can see by the photos, everyone totally embraced their characters, both in dress and in personality!! I also added two characters (Skip A. Paige and Leif Turner) who served as Paparazzi for the night, taking candid photos of the royal gathering to see who would be named the murderer!! Everyone had a wonderful time and it was worth the several months of planning!! Thank you for a wonderful night!!

This is the first time my family has ever done a murder mystery. This was an absolute blast. Everyone had a great time and the characters were so much fun. I absolutely love that you can play it again.

We had such a good time with the royal family kit. The story kept everyone involved. It worked well even with a mix of confident and quieter players. The balance of structure and acting worked well for us.

Monarchy Game & Royal Family Themed Murder Mystery Game Kit

It was fun. Everyone got into their roles early and there was a lot of teasing and fun verbal play (including the weeks leading up to game night). That said, the actual “solving” of the mystery seemed mostly a matter of a lucky guess. That is, the clues in the statements read by the Guilty person were subtle, and didn't differ much from everyone else’s statements. This is the second MoM mystery I’ve played. I might try another company next time.

I hosted this murder mystery for my friends hen-do. It was absolutely amazing and they all enjoyed themselves so so much! Such a great pack, easy to follow and the characters were wonderful. Thank you!

Monarchy Game & Royal Family Themed Murder Mystery Game Kit

We have done a number of murder mystery parties at new year and love them. This one was fun but incredibly complicated if the host of the party is not the same person as the organiser. There is a great deal of paperwork and pre-reading. I'm sure it would be easier if the host managed the whole thing, but it was still the most complex game we've played.

Monarchy Game & Royal Family Themed Murder Mystery Game Kit

I bought this for my daughter’s 16th bday party. The kids all got really into it with costumes etc… very fun! I was super disappointed that it only comes virtually w downloads. So I spent a significant amount of time downloading and creating files. Then took it to a local Printer and spent about $60 on printing. Mind you, I did the clues in color and on cardstock. I wanted everyone to have hard copies. You can just send everyone digital copies, but I didn’t want the kids staring at their phones the whole time. Very fun evening!
