In 1985, University Games introduced the Murder Mystery Party to the world as its first game. Years later, these parties-in-a-box still include everything players needs to solve a murder during an evening with friends. Directions Included P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Legal Disclaimer IN NO EVENT, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE, SHALL Seller (mcelhit) BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND AS A RESULT OF THIS PRODUCT, WHETHER ARISING UNDER BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER BASED ON THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Review: A Taste for Fun and Games! - This was great. Thrown in with a party of cheese and wine, it propelled the party to all new heights! Everyone came dressed in character, which just added to the fun. With the character booklets, it was simple for your guests to get a good grasp as to how to portray their role. We played a 6 player version so Bonny Lass and Bud Wizer didn't make an appearance, but they didn't need to. Don't be shocked when you see how short the CD is. Whilst it sets the scene, it is you and your guests that add to the deviousness of a murder mystery party. Trust me... This and a fondue, and your evening is made!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by L***E on 27 December 2025*

Oh my goodness we had so much fun playing this. My friends aren’t the brightest but we figured it out without any mistakes. The actual storyline was so great we all loved it so much, we played with 6 people and didn’t use the extra players and it was fine. I definitely recommend this game! It was so fun and I’ll be looking to buy again!
