Every group is different. Every mystery should be too. Pick a tone, pick a tier, and we'll handle the rest.
You choose the tone on your intake form. We write to it consistently throughout every character, clue, and reveal.
Charming, clever, and warm. Think village detective energy — everyone's suspicious but nobody's actually threatening. Perfect for mixed groups, family gatherings, or anyone who prefers their murder with a side of scones.
Dry wit, absurd motives, and characters who are deeply suspicious of each other for entirely petty reasons. The murder is almost beside the point. The real crime is the passive aggression.
Secrets, affairs, inheritance disputes, and impeccable table manners. The kind of mystery where everyone is guilty of something, even if it's just terrible taste in romantic partners.
Over-the-top characters, dramatic reveals, and at least one person who absolutely did not need to monologue that long. Maximum fun, minimum subtlety. The villain will have a cape.
Adult humor, flirtatious characters, and secrets that would make a Victorian faint. For groups who specifically requested "the spicy version" and meant it. Comfort levels are set per player.
You tell us the setting, era, tone, and vibe. We build something that exists nowhere else. Your group, your story, your murder. No template. No compromise. Just your specific brand of chaos.
The setting shapes everything — the characters, the motives, the props, and the vocabulary. Pick one on your intake form or describe your own.
Manors, inheritance, and repressed feelings. Everyone has a secret and a corset.
Speakeasies, flappers, and bootleggers. The murder weapon is probably a champagne flute.
Studio lots, starlets, and scandals. Everyone's a suspect and everyone has an agent.
Your actual friends, your actual drama, your actual group chat. The most dangerous setting of all.
Confined spaces, international intrigue, and a dining car full of suspects going nowhere fast.
Paradise with a body count. Cocktails, sunscreen, and someone who definitely didn't drown accidentally.
Divas, understudies, and opening night sabotage. The drama is both on and off the stage.
Describe it on the intake form. We've written mysteries set in space, medieval castles, and a very specific Airbnb.
All tiers include a fully custom mystery. The difference is complexity, player count, runtime, and what's in the box.
