The Kit
Everything in your kitThe Guest List · High Noon At Dead Man’s Saloon
Every guest becomes a character. Choose your edition by how many join the party — the bigger the night, the deeper the cast.
Want every suspect at your table? Pick the 4–20 edition.
Free with every game — never required
Every kit is complete on its own — and every game now includes a free app. Use it, and it sends cinematic invitations, slips each guest their secret script, and quietly casts the killer.
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.
Before the party, each guest steps into the green room — their character portrait, their backstory, their costume, and lines only they can see.
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.
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
Snap a photo in costume and it becomes your character's face — on the ballots and at the reveal.
Every guest's photos and videos collect in one shared party album — to relive the morning after.
Run the night as the Detective, or play a character yourself and let the app's recordings narrate.
Vote on the honours — Best Detective, Best Costume, Best Liar — and crown them together at the end.

This was such a blast! This is my first time doing a murder mystery with this company. Very easy to follow directions and play as well as lead the party. I will be purchasing another in the future.
We had a great family evening and everyone dressed up for the occasion which made it more fun. The game and instructions were all good and easy to follow along. As the host I joined in with the game trying to determine who murdered Deputy Drinkwater!
Hallo, wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend. Das Spiel hat super Spaß gemacht und allen sehr gut gefallen. Wir werden auf jeden wieder spielen, allerdings dann mit mehr Gästen. Wir haben unser Wohnzimmer etwas dekoriert und ein Buffet mit Spareribs, Chickenwings und Salaten aufgebaut. Etwas Western-Musik aus der Playlist, die ich noch etwas abgeändert habe, dazu und wir hatten einen super Abend. Dieses Spiel macht Lust auf mehr und wir haben schon geschaut, welches Spiel aus der „Masters of Mystery“ Reihe als Nächstes dran kommt. Vielen Dank für so viel Spaß 😊
We had a great time celebrating my 60th birthday using the cowboy themed murder mystery. Everyone got into their roles, even the dog!
Was very easy to follow and fun. Will definitely play multiple times
Es hat sehr Spaß gemacht in die verschiedenen Rollen zu schlüpfen und die ein oder anderen Schauspielerischen Talente zu entdecken. Man muss jedoch aufmerksam bleiben sonst entgeht einem noch der Mörder 😉
We all in character & had a wild time! Loved playing as the host as well! Will definitely purchase another set for more murder mystery parties!
Such a fun activity for any occasion! Even better either themed decorations and dress up! Lots of printing, but resulted in a great night!

Wild West Cowboy Murder Mystery Host Your Own Game Kit - Medium / 4 - 20 Players / German
Great story, easy to play, 8 person game was with sherif audio ended up being the perfect number.! Would recommend. We are all Excited to try an another one
It went great, however, I purchased the 4 -14 player version but only received 13 character files. Those that I did not receive were: Buffalo Bob, Shuffle N Cut, Songbird Lil, Tiny Musack, Waylin Strum, Wellesley Fargo and Yella Rose. It seems that I should have received one of these.
We were a group of 14 Our office crew and it was a lot of fun. We all got into the. Role and had the place decorated
10/10. We were all obsessed & had so much fun!
Enjoyed our evening! We look forward to doing it again with another group. It is interesting how other characters can be the murderer when it is l ok aged a second time.thank you for your creativity.
Had so much fun with this!
Great fun! All of our guests loved it and want to do another
We had so much fun transforming the big room in a saloon! Everyone dressed to their character and the moment was seized! I didn’t want to disturb the flow of the game so I printed out the sheriff script and did a hat (and added a mustache) change behind the bar to read the sheriff dialogues. Printed out the “evidence” and glued them onto some cardboard to pass around to the guests when appropriate. Game dialogues were fun, the more we played (and us hams in the group fed the energy) the more everyone rose to the occasion. Who dunn it was nebulous but a couple of people guessed correctly! (Our real life Chief of Police got it right!) Thank you!
Fantastic game, and worth the money as you're able to play more than once. I decorated and did a whole load of buffet style food that was on theme. With a great group of people who bought they're acting skills, accent skills and considering we're English put on a great western accent. Definitely worth the money and looking forward to buying the Vampire one and doing it all again at Halloween
What a great experience with this mystery. We restructured how the play was ran, because we had 40+people for a potluck dinner. I had 10 characters selected to put the play on and had them mingle through the diners. Our MC was the Sheriff. I created character specific scripts using the info provided (see the included picture). Each table collaborated to determine the murderer. Out of 10 tables, only 2 figured it out correctly. They had to turn in their guess before final statements were made. We will be scheduling another mystery. Thank you.
New at it. But once we got the hang of it it was fun
Such great fun for a Sten weekend - everyone got into it and had a ball!
Ist mehr was für Anfänger. die Wahl des Mörders durch Los macht es leider nicht so eindeutig, drum 1 Stern Abzug. Die Kostümauswahl und die Rollen waren sehr ansprechend. Spaß hat es gemacht, war unterhaltsam.
What a fun night! Wild West mystery on New Years Eve! I served Brisket, beans and tater salad. I set up a poker and dice table….even made peach cobbler for desert. The mystery kept people talking who normally wouldn’t and spouses of friends were chatting it up trying to solve the mystery and get the clues!
The game was a blast! We had so much fun acting out our characters and dressing up and figuring out who the killer was. Highly recommend!
We had a GREAT time!
We had such a blast solving this mystery for my 30th birthday! My husband played the part of the Sheriff and lead the group through the evidence. 10/10 will definitely host more murder mysteries like this!
We had so much fun. I can't wait to do it again!
This murder mystery was my Xmas gift to all my nieces and nephews with a sit down meal. They all got into character and had an absolutely fabulous time.
We had a 40th birthday and there was 10 of Us dressed as cowboys I still to this day don't really know who the murderer was or really why but we had such a laugh doing the cowboy voices and accusing each other it was worth every penny. One-eyed pete was wearing the chaps 🤠 if anybody asks for more pictures we have pictures of the back of the cowboy as well😅
Fun evening! We’ll do it again
It was a fun night, & all my guests committed to their characters. Great energy. We made the Sheriff a real character as well. The only negative is, it's not really obvious who the murderer is. There's no definitive clues. I made heaps of props/decorations so it was an immersive experience from the time the guests arrived. Menus were helpful along with the Spotify playlist.
Hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht!
We had so much fun
So fun get to interact with all guests
We all had the best time! The way the scripts are set up and having the audio really makes it a great experience!
SO MUCH FUN, start to finish.
Brilliant game! Thanks for a fun NYE evening
A fabulous way to spend NYE - we had 11 in our party and everyone made such an effort with costumes and acting their part. The character guides were so easy to follow and the video files and printable clues added to the whole experience. We made cowboy beans, cowboy caviar and cornmeal pie to keep with the Wild West theme and bought decorations to create a “saloon” feel . Will definitely be buying another murder mystery in the future.
Great fun had by all
