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.

Our crew loved dressing up for this MM theme night. The game was easy to follow and everyone enjoyed.
My family had an absolute blast with this mystery. All were dressed accordingly and acted out their parts like seasoned professionals. It was a great experience!
We had a blast with High Noon at Dead Man’s Saloon! The game takes some logistical wrangling and pre-planning, but if your guests are up for costumes and getting into character, it’s probably the funnest party you’ll ever throw!
An incredible experience, game was perfect!
Fun and easy to play!
Brilliantly put together and very imaginative. We dressed up and decorated the room to help with the overall feel of the experience. Would 100% recommend
I used the kit for a social party and it is a great starting point with a lot of stories to springboard off of but I definitely had to modify for a social environment along with adding characters over 20.
Our 40 Something Cowgirl equestrian group played and everyone had a great time. Feel free to go to my Facebook page and see all the pictures and videos. I have to say it was a huge hit and everyone really got into it.
An amazing evening for our first time doing a murder mystery party, nobody guessed the killer!
;)
Fab fun - used the story as the anchor for the evening and embellished with target practice ; and comedy horse riding duels. Used AI to generate some wicked wanted posters ; copious amounts of moonshine and I must admit we all lost the plot and no one guessed the murder but it was so much fun
So much fun. We did this on our family vacation. Mountain cabin was perfect scene. We decorated the table in western theme and served Bar B Que for dinner. Great time.
Great experience!
We had a great time playing Dead Mans Saloon. This is my 4th M.o.m. party and we loved it!
Call please !
An excellent evening of Murder Mystery. The girls loved it. A great game, which was very entertaining and professional.
With only 6 of us at our family get together, I thought it would be challenging to play the game. However, it was AMAZING! It worked great for just 6 of us.....so much fun. We actually played it twice, with everyone picking a different character. So much FUN!! And super easy to follow the directions and to customize it to fit your needs!
We used all 20 slots and had a great time. This was our sixth MMP and our guests felt the pace and flow were fantastic. Even with 20 players, the characters felt diverse enough to keep separate. If the creators are looking for suggestions for other characters, maybe think of who would be living in a town during that time (preacher, homesteaders, general store owner, actual doctor). From the hosting perspective, DO NOT play and host! I felt seasoned enough to give it a shot, but it was calamity trying to manage and play the game. Trust me, you'll still have a ton of fun! I would also note that I could tell the game was last updated during covid lockdown and had some (minor) errors. It would be good if they creators gave it a facelift.
Great storyline. Characters were fun and instructions were easy to match follow.
It was so fun! Had a good time getting into character
We had an absolute blast! It was very easy to follow. The group had such a fun time dressing up & getting into character. Who says play pretend ends when you grow up?!? Not for us! We look forward to trying out different murder mystery themes in the future.
It was alot of fun!! We did it with 8 characters and it didn't take very long to go thru it.
We had a blast with the western theme!! The instructions were great and enabled us to have a well planned out party. Highly recommend!!
Fun , but a lot reading pretty serious must pay attention
So easy to use and fun!
Was a great evening. Instructions were easy to follow. Very entertaining!!!
After preparing everything it went very smoothly and everyone had fun with their parts. I wish we could have picked our characters because we only had 8, but it was a blast!
So much fun, thanks for creating this!
It was fun, but it’s difficult to play and facilitate. Next time I’ll have a facilitator to run the audio, distribute the evidence, etc.
We had a wonderful night. There were a lot of great characters to play. And it was nice that there were videos and evidence given. That made the game more active. Sadly I couldn’t get the visible game, because I live the Netherlands, that leaded me to print everything out myself. Overall you will receive good instructions to play the game
The game was super fun! Purchased some extra decorations and everyone dressed their part! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to host a Murder Mystery!
We transformed the game into a live role-play experience, providing appropriate sets, food, and drinks (no alcohol with alcoholic names). Additional roles were written for those who were not up to a full role for health reasons: Cookie Goodfood, Mycroft Smarter, and Peggy Perky. We did our best to keep them in the flavor of the game. We also had people playing the Sheriff and Deputy. Making a total of 25 players. All responses have been positive. We laughed and teased each other all night long. It was a very fun time.
We had a great time at the Dead Man’s Saloon!
What a great time! The directions were easy to follow (definitely review and print out what you need before hand. Take your time don’t get ahead of yourself!) will absolutely do again!
Had a great time. The more your guests can get into the acting the better
The game was so fun and so easy to host!
Such a fun time my son’s birthday!
It was a great night. The sheriff's video information and the evidence folders were perfect. It gave us a chance to manoeuvre everyone into the lounge, err 'the games room' so we could set the next food course and refresh drinks etc, then back into the 'saloon' for continuation of questioning, dropping hints, music from Tinny Musick, who had his guitar with him...it was just us and our grown up kids and partners, so everyone came a bit earlier to help us finish of dressing the house then at 7.00 pm as per our invites everyone was dressed in character. They parked their weapons, got a drink from the saloon, received their booklets and picked a random letter from a hat, which they memorized and returned to the box of mystery, so nobody else could see their letter. Everyone got in the zone, even the dog won 'best dressed Gal' of the night! Doc Quackery brought bottles of his wear for purchase. We had BBQ western themed grub, Navajo watermelon salad, jerky and toasted corn nuts to start, BBQ rum ribs, chilli, loaded and hassleback jackets, corn on the cobs with chilli & garlic butter and cheesecake or pie and ice cream for pud...all if this was mostly prepped beforehand, which meant I could also join in and concentrate on who the murdered might be. It was a great night. Thank you for making it such fun!
Super fun! The killer was a bit obvious for adult players though!
Even though some couldn’t make it we decided to go ahead with the six of us and boy are we glad we did. The guys kinda dragged their feet about doing this but once the game started we all had a blast!!! It was easy to follow and the game was so much fun.
