Downloadable Mystery Party Kits Not Just Murders

Our mystery party themes are easy to download and print out. Then you can simply email everyone you want to invite to the party.

Our downloadable mystery party kits are written so that everyone gets a character and dress suggestions. They are straight-forward and anyone from nine years upwards can participate fully. There aren't any things you can't reveal, so it is clear what you can talk about.

You simply read out your clues. Sometimes this may mean asking a suspect a question or accusing someone. Everything you need to say will be on your page. Our mysteries are challenging to solve, yet not impossible.

You can say the clue as it is written or you can say it in your own words as long as you don't change the meaning.

Adding an accent or hamming it up can also add to the fun. It's your chance to be a little silly for a change and to fully become the character you are playing.

It's you time to shine and become the star rather than just watching them on the small and large screens.

And just remember that Elvis isn't the only one that gets to move his (or her) hips or to skip or walk the light fandango!

You can do and be so much more once you have donned a costume. The possibilities are endless.

People probably won't recognize the new you - but that's just part of the whole experience.

It may be the most memorable party of your life or the start of a whole new life once your talents are discovered. Who knows?

Roll out the red carpet and set up the spotlights.

Are you ready to put down your phone, connect with other people, share the fun and laughter and step up to meet this challenge?

Mysteries (Not Murders)

Murder Mysteries

Storm Survivors: Amber Creed “I just wanted to say that your Storm Survivors was the best party I’ve had so far in my 16 years of life.

Murder On The Prairie: Gail Miloch “A group at our church gets together annually for a get-away and this year we decided to try Merri Mysteries “Murder on the Prairie”. We all had so much fun; even adults enjoy the chance to dress up in costumes and role-play once in a while. We appreciated that we didn’t have to worry about questionable or risqué roles or scripts. ...I especially like that you have lots of roles – even those who are not suspects had some direction on how to dress up. Thanks for offering this service."

Who Killed Santa? Aeran Schmid, Canada "It was SO MUCH FUN!! We had quite the dramatic group of people. Everything went smoothly and I thank you for making the preparing process very easy to follow...we enjoyed our Christmas party."

One Of The Girls: Kim Muoio "There were 21 women who all had a blast at the mystery party. The costumes and acting really made the party! Some of the ladies were having so much fun that they forgot to try to figure out who was the murderer!...Thanks again for a great time."
