Trade the ordinary birthday routine for a fully hosted interactive mystery where every guest receives a character, secrets, objectives, motives, and a reason to investigate everyone else at the party.
Request a Birthday Mystery See How It WorksNo spectators, no complicated setup, and no asking one of your friends to spend the night running the game.
Each guest receives a unique role with relationships, objectives, secrets, motives, and reasons to interact with everyone else at the party.
We handle the rules, materials, evidence, pacing, voting, and final reveal so the guest of honor does not have to host their own birthday experience.
Guests can embrace their roles as dramatically or casually as they like. Clear information and objectives give everyone an easy way into the story.
Instead of simply sharing a meal or gathering around a table, your guests create a story together filled with alliances, accusations, discoveries, and memorable surprises.
Whether the candles are polite or becoming a fire hazard, the mystery can take center stage.
Mark a 30th, 40th, 50th, or other milestone with an experience built around the people celebrating with you.
Give your friends something more engaging than another dinner reservation, bar crawl, or ordinary game night.
Select mysteries may work well for older teens, depending on the story, venue, and group. Contact us so we can help you choose an appropriate experience.

Every guest receives a role with relationships, secrets, objectives, motives, and costume suggestions before the event begins.
Guests can use their phones to access character information, objectives, evidence, live updates, voting, and the final reveal.

Our games feature original characters, intertwined secrets, dramatic turns, and multiple paths for guests to explore.
Printed player materials can also be provided for groups that prefer paper or need an alternative to using phones.
Your party supplies the guests. We supply the suspects.
Host the mystery in your living room, basement, backyard, or neighborhood clubhouse without sending the entire group across town.
Combine the mystery with food and drinks at a restaurant, brewery, or private dining space that can accommodate your group.
Community rooms, event halls, museums, libraries, and other private spaces can become the setting for your celebration.
