Setting the Scene

Football Murder Mystery Party — After making the playoffs but finishing just short of a Super Bowl birth, the Pitbulls are ready to celebrate the highlights of their season!

As the team’s players, coaches, and league comrades gather for a season ending party, there is no shortage of scandal. From debating who is to blame for the season ending interception, to the talk of player trades and speculation about the star quarterback returning or retiring this year — there is no topic off the table.

What the guests don’t realize is — not only is the future of the team at stake, but so is the future of one of the guests! Someone will perish in a fatal party penalty!

Will it be the social media-savvy wide receiver — who has sent his last tweet?
The rookie quarterback who will never get a chance to shine?
The offensive coordinator who has made one too many bad play calls?
Or possibly the ever-calculating coach whose moves in free agency may cost him his life?

As the clock winds down on the evening, a culprit will try to sneak in one final play to avoid being caught in this football murder mystery game.

With a fourth down and one final clue to uncover, it is up to the party guests to catch a murderer before he goes free!

Riley Rodger – League Commissioner. Officially in charge of the league, Riley will not let anyone dictate how they run the league or let anyone cheat it in any fashion.

Tommy Tomlinson – Pitbulls General Manager. Responsible for setting the Pitbulls up for success, Tommy wants to have the best of all worlds, but will the Pitbull budget allow it?

Robbie Robins – Pitbulls Coach. With fighting players and coaches, Robbie has some tough decisions to make on how to lead the Pitbulls moving forward.

Ryan Rebel – Pitbulls Offensive Coordinator. Tired of being overlooked, this coach is searching for someone to have more faith in their abilities or a way to showcase them.

Joe Baller – Pitbulls Starting Quarterback. With Joe’s football legacy on the line, will this be the year Joe finally hangs up their cleats?

Avery Minsell – Pitbulls Backup Quarterback. Known for their excellent play in practice, if Avery doesn’t earn a starting position soon, they may just have to look elsewhere.

Beck Jones – Pitbulls Rookie Quarterback. Opinionated, assertive, and eager to start for the team, this rookie can’t wait to play!

Sam Givens – Pitbulls Receiver. Joe Baller’s go-to receiver, some think Sam’s phenomenal success has helped the team while others will argue it has hurt it.

Teddy Honeycutt – Pitbulls Receiver. While Teddy has made their name in the league, Teddy has yet to catch a break with the Pitbulls – a situation Teddy is looking to change.

Nick Nailer – Pitbulls Linebacker. Upset about how the season ended, will Nick build upon the past or feel the need to start over?

Rory Swanson – Free Agent Quarterback. Looking to join the Pitbulls, Rory just may be the answer to all the Pitbulls’ problems.

Brady Cadey – Free Agent Quarterback. Annoyed with their current situation, Brady may be looking to join the Pitbull team or just the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Biggie Baller – Parent to Joe and JuJu Baller. Proud parent of two of the league’s leading quarterbacks, Biggie Baller loves to capitalize on their childrens’ successes (and failures).

JuJu Baller – Gladiators Quarterback. Sibling to an all-time great, it is often forgotten that JuJu is a great quarterback themself.

Carey Bradshaw – Sports Commentator. Known for their opinionated reporting, could this be the time when Carey’s favoritism comes back to haunt them?

Crunchy Numbers – League Statistician. With rumors of inaccurate statistics swirling widely, is Crunchy’s carelessness the center of a scandal or is there more to the matter?

Sawyer Yells – Super Fan. No one loves the league more than Sawyer, and they will do just about ANYTHING to prove it!

Jerry McGuire – Sports Agent. While wheeling and dealing is part of the process, Jerry excels at setting their clients up for success. But at what price?

Slick Rickie – Sports Bookie. This former player has a heart for the Pitbulls and the knowledge to prove it. Could Rickie’s business benefit the Pitbulls or lead to their demise?

Shannon Stripes – Referee. Known for their fairness in the league, this official is one who can sniff out a party foul from a mile away!

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.

Testimonials

“I purchased the Night Of Mystery packet for a work team building event. All of my co-workers said it was the best team event they've been to. The packet was very straightforward and had so many ideas and tips to help make running the event super simple. Highly recommend!”

Christine Benoit

“I hosted my first party and I was scared that if anyone could fail such a flawless package it would be myself. But this kit makes it so easy and fun. Lots of room to make it your own and not cookie cutter, but always super straight forward! I can't wait to host another one!!! Thanks Night of Mystery!”

Elyzabeth Wolfe

“I've had three parties over the years. This year we will be doing it again! Normal parties have their groups. High school over there, church over there, family over there. Well with the murder mystery dinner there is none of that. Plus you're free to not be "you" for the night. Every party has been a success! Last one, we had over 100 people come.”

Jeremy McLaughlin

“This was the BEST team event we’ve ever done. It was inclusive, creative, and so easy to execute with your kit. Everyone had a blast!”
