There's something special about a boxed murder mystery that arrives at your door, ready to open and play. Our physical game kits are beautifully produced, posted out as a complete boxed set, and packed with everything your table needs for a night of accusations, alibis and delicious twists. From a glamorous 1920s speakeasy to a snowbound Christmas mystery, a Wild West saloon, a wizarding academy or a spine-tingling vampire ball, each box holds a full evening of entertainment you can keep on the shelf and return to whenever the mood takes you.
Dispatched locally for your market: boxed kits ship locally — the USA, the UK and beyond — so your game reaches the door sooner.
A boxed game made to be unwrapped
Every kit is designed to feel like an occasion in itself. Inside you'll find character booklets, invitations, clues and secret backgrounds for each suspect, plus themed extras such as menu ideas, a playlist, costume prompts and decoration suggestions to set the scene. Because the whole story lives in the box, there's nothing to plan from scratch, so you simply assign the characters, pour the drinks and let the evening unfold. That hold-in-your-hands quality is exactly why a boxed murder mystery game makes such a memorable present for a birthday, an anniversary or Christmas morning.
Replayable, and the host plays too
Our boxed mysteries are built to be enjoyed more than once. The murderer is drawn at random after roles are handed out, so no one, not even the person running the night, knows who did it until the final reveal. The host plays along as a full character rather than sitting out, and the same box can be played again with a different culprit each time. Roles are flexible as well: any character suits any guest, whatever the gender printed on the card. Pick your box by theme, or browse games by number of players to match your guest list.
Frequently asked questions
What is a boxed murder mystery game?
It's a complete, physical murder mystery posted to you as a printed boxed set. Everything needed to host and play is included, from character materials and clues to hosting notes and themed party ideas.
Can you play a boxed murder mystery more than once?
Yes. Because a new murderer is chosen at random each time, the outcome changes, so you can play the same box again with fresh suspects in the frame, then pass it on to friends when you're done.
Is a murder mystery box a good gift?
It's one of our most popular presents. A boxed set is lovely to wrap and unwrap, suits couples or a whole group, and gives the recipient a full evening together rather than a one-off surprise.
How many players do you need?
Our boxed range spans intimate four-player evenings right through to large gatherings, so there's a cast size to fit whatever table you're setting.
