Mystery Games for Your Creative Party

Mystery games are the perfect creative party idea!

Remember the board game Clue, where you solved the murder of Mr. Boddy by determining who, where and how the murder was committed? Like Colonel Mustard in the library with the candlestick!?

A game of mystery is the modern-day equivalent of the classic board game, only it's live, and you and your guests are the suspects.

With a mystery game, those playing harness their "Inner Sherlock Holmes" to question the suspects (and each other) and determine which suspect is guilty.

The fun of a murder mystery party is that everyone has the opportunity to unravel a puzzle and feel the thrill of piecing it all together. And while we may not want to admit it, everyone wants to be the person who picked up on that one clue that everyone else missed ... and look absolutely brilliant in front of their friends, co-workers and family.

Before the Internet, a mystery game was only found on store shelves alongside board games. It's rare to find these boxed mystery and riddle games in stores these days though - the industry has moved online.

The Internet allows a party host looking for a creative party theme idea the chance to compare, select and instantly download their game. If they like, they can be playing within minutes - the perfect way to spice up party.

Depending on the game and the production company, a mystery game also unlocks the door to some incredible bonus features, like virtual tours and other online resources.
