Setting the Scene
It’s the annual Players Ball where the flyest and flashiest pimps, escorts, gigolos,
and everyone in between gather to fly high with their circuit while also awarding
the coveted Player of the Year award to the most profitable player in the game.
With the community gathering to chop it up and break bread with
their fellow players, a crazy night of playing, pandering, and philandering
is underway when someone gets the hit of their life and ends up dead.
The rest of the players are now left to mainline
the murderer and put them on blast.
Was it the emphatic escort who wants to start their own stable?
The erratic enforcer trying to get some street cred?
The Choosy Susie whose loyalties lie with multiple players?
Or possibly the prosperous pimp who needs to protect their profits?
Whoever the guilty is, no one is leaving till you have
dropped the dime on the cold-blooded killer.
So lace up your gators, fill up your pimp cup, and get ready for
a night of feathers, fedoras, and straight-up foul play!

“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!”
“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 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 onell! Thanks Night of Mystery!”
“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 your free to not be you for the night. Every party has been a success! Last one we had over 100 people come.”
“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!”

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!
This will depend on (a) the version of party you order and (b) what you/they want to do at the party.
Some murder mystery party game rules say (generally the smaller 6-8 guest and 8-12 guest versions) have the victim rise and become the investigator after their “death.”
Since the victim does not know who murdered them, they can still play along and try to guess the murderer using their previous background knowledge and their money in order to bribe and blackmail others and derive their secrets from one another.
If you have a larger version, and you have not assigned the investigator (they are generally listed as the first person to eliminate for this reason), then the victim will need to become the investigator.
If you have assigned the investigator, but have an extra role that is not already filled, the victim can become this person (if you order the 20-80 player version, this will always be an option).
If the victim wishes to do nothing, they can do that as well. Some guests really enjoy playing along “dead” and trying to figure out who killed them.
