1980s Murder Mystery Game Kit - Jeu physique

This edition is a physical boxed kit designed for in-person play, making it ideal for a dinner party or gathering where guests can dress up, mingle and act out their characters face to face on the 1985 movie soundstage.

If you would prefer to host over a video call, a digital and printable version of this same 1980s mystery is also available, which is better suited to virtual play on platforms like Zoom. Just choose the format that fits how you want to gather your guests.

This 1980s murder mystery typically takes around 1.5 to 3 hours to play, depending on how many players you have and how much you lean into the roleplay, food and 80s atmosphere.

Many hosts build the evening around a themed dinner, so the mystery unfolds naturally over the course of the night. You can keep things brisk for a shorter session or stretch it out with courses, costumes and music for a full retro party experience.

1980s Murder Mystery Game Kit is a physical boxed kit posted directly to you, giving you everything you need to host A Totally Rad 1980's Murder. Inside the box you will find a Host Guide Booklet to walk you through running the evening, along with individual Character Booklets for your guests.

The kit also comes with digital access to the Inspector video and audio files, the Evidence Book and the invitation booklets, so you can share the immersive extras and get your guests excited before the party. Together these components let you set the scene on the 1985 movie soundstage and guide everyone through the mystery from start to finish.

Yes. This 1980s mystery features a random murderer, so the identity of the killer can change from one playthrough to the next. That means you can enjoy A Totally Rad 1980's Murder more than once with a fresh outcome each time.

It is a great option to pass on to friends or family for their own party, or to replay with a new group of guests who have not yet worked out whodunit.

This 1980s mystery is perfect for dinner parties, birthdays, anniversaries and get-togethers with friends or family who love a bit of nostalgia and roleplay.

It works brilliantly as the centrepiece for a themed 80s party, and is equally at home at festive gatherings, team socials or any occasion where you want to give your guests an interactive and memorable evening of entertainment.

This game is recommended for players aged 14 and over, making it well suited to teenagers and adults alike.

With its medium difficulty and playful 1980s theme, it is a great fit for family gatherings with older children as well as adult dinner parties and social events.

Costumes are completely optional, but they are strongly encouraged as they add so much to the fun and atmosphere of a 1980s murder mystery.

Guests can go all out with classic 1980s outfits inspired by the stars of stage and screen, from big hair and neon to rock stars and pop icons. Even a few well-chosen retro touches will help everyone get into character on the movie soundstage and make for great photos.

This mystery is built to flex with your guest list, offering character sets so you can play with a smaller intimate group or scale up to a larger cast for a bigger 1980s party.

If you would like to grow your guest list further, expansion packs may be available to add extra characters and bring even more suspects into the story. Any guests who are not playing a named character can still join in as detectives helping to solve the case.

The kit includes a Host Guide Booklet that makes running the evening straightforward, so one person can comfortably organise and steer the mystery from start to finish.

The good news is that the host can also play along as one of the characters, so you do not have to sit out the fun. The guide is designed so you can take part in the story while still keeping everything on track.
