FAQ

How does the process work?

1. Completely Custom Murder Mystery Kit

Q: How custom is “custom”?
A: Fully custom. You upload photos, tell us who’s attending, share fun facts or inside jokes and we build a mystery from scratch around your people. Characters, clues, motives, props, dialogue prompts, the whole story.

Q: What do I need to provide?
A short questionnaire, guest list, a few photos, and any chaos you want woven in (pets, family feuds, hobbies, inside jokes, etc.).  You will receive a link via email and on the checkout landing page to complete the process.

Q: How long does it take?
We ship the full kit within 3 - 5 days unless otherwise specified.

Q: What do I receive?
A fully written, printable mystery experience including:

  • A custom plot

  • Personalized character cards

  • Tailored alibis and clues

  • Custom evidence props

  • Host script
    Everything is designed specifically for your group.

2. Title & Image Customizable Kit

Q: What parts are customized?
You get our standard, professionally written mystery (like A Death in the Drumstick Room), but we customize the cover art, title, and guest occupations/names to match your group.

Q: What stays the same?
The story, clues, evidence, and game structure remain unchanged.

Q: How long does it take?
We ship within 48–72 hours depending on the level of personalization.

Q: What’s included?

  • Personalized cover/title page

  • Character cards with guest names and roles

  • All standard clues, evidence, and host materials

It's the perfect “in-between” option if you want a personalized feel without going fully custom.

3. Out-of-the-Box Mystery Kit

Q: What do I get with the standard kit?
The full, ready-to-play mystery exactly as written, including:

  • Character cards

  • Clues & alibis

  • Evidence props

  • Host guide
    No customization required—download, print, and play.

Q: How fast do I get it?
Instant shipping. Ideal for last-minute hosting heroes.

Q: Do I still get support?
Yes! If you need help running the game, adapting for group size, or organizing the flow, we’re here for you.
