To ring in the millennium, Twilo, the most happening club in the Big Apple, is throwing the ultimate New Year’s Eve bash! Hosted by DJ Neon, this shindig is one that everyone’s been dying to get into! As we count down to Y2K, the brightest stars of the ’90s are ready to get jiggy and celebrate in style. But watch out, because amidst the neon lights and killer tunes, some are plotting to settle scores, flaunt their revenge bods, or drop some major bombshells.
But hold up! Before we can say “Hello, 2000,” a murder will occur that’s more twisted than your favorite boy band’s dance moves – and the countdown to find the culprit is on!
Could it be the grunge rocker whose tunes are now a total buzzkill?
The teen sitcom star who’s so yesterday?
The hip hop star with beats faker than a Furby’s love?
Or possibly the dot-com mogul who’s about to go bust?
The clock is ticking, and it is up to the party-goers to solve the crime before the ball drops.

Most hosts are surprised by how easy it is to run—and how quickly guests get into character and take over the fun. You can even play along as a character if you’d like! Just review the host guide ahead of time, follow the simple instructions, and then sit back and enjoy watching the mystery unfold.
Excellent Question! And one that needs more explaining, please see the “How to Play” Page of our site and/or download a preview file to get a complete understanding of how our mysteries are run!
Absolutely. We make it easy with two types of downloadable invites:
Before you purchase:
Use our RSVP invitations to invite guests and confirm your headcount (we highly recommend this step!)
After you purchase:
You’ll receive email-ready invitations that include each guest’s character description, so you can assign roles and send everything out in just a few clicks.
YES! As host, you get to decide how much or little you know about the murder.
If you want to play along, you will want to read the host’s guide in full to ensure that you are setting the game up correctly WITHOUT letting you know who the murderer is in this murder mystery party game!
In most Night of Mystery parties, the victim doesn’t sit out—they become the investigator for the second half of the game!
Since the victim doesn’t know who killed them, they can jump right back into the action—questioning suspects, gathering clues, and trying to solve their own murder.
