Night of Mystery offers a business license that lets companies, organizations, event planners, venues, and other organized groups legally run its downloadable murder mysteries for almost any non-personal purpose—team-building, company parties, retreats and conferences, customer-appreciation events, paid public nights at bars/restaurants/B&Bs, social-club mixers, fundraisers, or hospitality packages. Simply select the business license at checkout and enter your company name (event planners should use their own company name); the license links your company to a single mystery theme and covers unlimited events with that theme for one year from purchase. A new license is required for each theme and each subsequent year (you don’t repurchase the mystery itself). You must keep the original mystery name and branding, credit Night of Mystery in marketing, and respect copyright—no selling materials, removing copyright, renaming or rebranding titles, posting spoilers online, or live-streaming the game.

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.
