Setting the Scene
This Honky-Tonk Game is A Root Beer Social Filled with Buckaroos and Bandits in the Wild, Wild West!
The Honky-Tonk Saloon is located in the fading western town of Silver Springs. A once gold rich town, the only
thing keeping Silver Springs alive is the bustling saloon which serves the best root beer this side of the Mississippi.
Or so it claims.
While sippin’ on some award-winning root beer, there will be one dastardly dude (or diva) at work to try to spoil
your time, so you best be ready to solve a western murder mystery and catch a bandit! Silver Springs is counting on you!
Saddle up yer horses and skedaddle on down for a rootin’ tootin’, mystery-solvin’ good time!

Your little cowboys and cowgirls will love dressing up, roleplaying, and solving the mystery together. With flexible group sizes, it works for small gatherings or big celebrations, making it one of the most versatile kids’ party games you’ll find.
Wyatt Wilson—Mayor. With the town in trouble, this leader will need to keep the bad folks out and the good folks in if they expect to keep their job!
Shootin’ Sal – Sheriff. The mayor’s sidekick, Sal will do whatever they’re told… regardless of what side of the law it’s on.
Deputy Danny – Sheriff’s Deputy. There’s no more dutiful citizen than Danny. Danny believes it’s their job to keep everyone in check—even the folks they report to.
Moneybags Malone – Banker. With the bank always gettin’ robbed, no one wants to run outlaws outta town more than Moneybags! They’ve got a lot to protect… and even more to lose.
Saloon Sam – Saloon Owner. Owner of the most popular joint in town, Sam takes credit for keepin’ Silver Springs alive—and not everyone’s happy about it!
Billy the Bartender – Bartender. Servin’ up everything from root beer to lemonade, Billy knows how to mix more than drinks—they stir up stories, too!
Piano Eddie – Saloon Piano Player. No one can tickle the ivories like this musical genius—and Eddie knows it. But could that confidence be coverin’ somethin’ up?
Dirty Dawg – Bandit. Dirty Dawg’s tryin’ to stay on the right side of the law… but trouble keeps followin’. Are they misunderstood—or just up to no good?
Montgomery – Southern Visitor. Prim, proper, and mighty polite, Montgomery seems a bit outta place in the wild, wild West… or is that just what they want you to think?
Gold Finder – Prospector. Gold Finder came to Silver Springs lookin’ forfortune—but could they be diggin’ up more than just gold?
Ace Kelly – Gambler. Known for slick style and sneaky card tricks, Ace can’t seem to win a hand at the saloon. One thing’s for sure—Ace is ready to settle the score.
Wranglin’ Riley – Ranchhand. Home on the range, Riley’s been ropin’ and ridin’ nonstop. But no one knows why they’ve been trainin’ so hard—or what they’re gettin’ ready for.
Slick Rickie – Miracle Peddler. A smooth talker always pushin’ some kinda “miracle tonic.” They’ve got a bottle for everything—and a secret or two up their sleeve.
Dusty Boots – Stagecoach Driver. Has seen every shady character ride through Silver Springs. Dusty knows more gossip than the Gazette—and ain’t afraid to share it.
And many more… Just inquire if you want to know an exact guest list.

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.
