NEW GAME! We've just brought out a fantastic new aristocratic murder mystery game, Lord and Lady Westing's Will, at just 20 pounds / 30 USD for a game for 11–16 guests!
FREE GAME! Click here to download your copy of our completely free murder mystery party game.
It's a version of Way out West, our most popular game. It has all the same depth, complexity, fun and excitement of the paid-for game, but it's just for 10 guests – that's the only difference. Well, and it's FREE! See for yourself!
Sunday 9th June is the night of the Tony Awards, celebrating everything that's great about the theatre! You could stage your own backstage bloodbath this year, with Bludgeoned on Broadway, the game in which greasepaint meets grievous bodily harm.
