Setting the Scene
Wyatt Winky is inviting young candy makers to create the treat of their dreams. One recipe—and its inventor—will be chosen to shine in stores everywhere!
With such a sugar-coated future on the line, the contestants will be cooking up more than candy—they’ll be cooking up competition!
But before the voting begins, disaster strikes! One dazzling delight will be destroyed before it ever has the chance to shine… and the kids must uncover who is behind this sweet sabotage.
Was it the curious chef who was outrageously overlooked?
The cunning confectioner with the wrong recipe?
Or the ambitious apprentice who would do anything to win?
One thing’s for sure—this candy caper is going to be deliciously dramatic!

No experience? No problem. Night of Mystery parties are specifically designed with first-time hosts in mind. Everything is laid out step-by-step—from invitations to party flow—so you’ll always know exactly what to do next.
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.
