Who killed Mr. Boddy? With what? And in which room? If just reading that gave you a nostalgic thrill, you’re not alone. Clue has captured hearts (and alibis) for decades. But what if you could go beyond the board, grab a magnifying glass, and become part of the story? That’s exactly what a murder mystery party does—it turns Clue into a full-blown, real-life experience.

Bullet Points for this blog (pew pew!):

• How murder mysteries go 3D

It’s Just Like Clue—But You’re Actually in It

Remember Colonel Mustard in the study with the candlestick? At a murder mystery dinner party, you might be Colonel Mustard. Or maybe you’re the one holding the candlestick. The action plays out all around you, and instead of sitting at a board or clicking through an app, you’re mingling with other suspects, uncovering motives, and interrogating your dinner companions.

This isn’t your average party. It’s immersive theater meets party game meets live-action puzzle. It’s Clue in 3D—with snacks.

An Interactive Mystery Game That Puts You in the Spotlight

No more shouting across the table or trying to roll a six just to enter the ballroom. With The Murder Mystery Company, you’re investigating a crime scene with your friends, coworkers, or fellow guests—right there in the room. Suspects are selected from the crowd. Clues are dropped in conversations. Accusations fly. And yes, someone’s going to get “murdered,” but all in good fun (and usually with dramatic flair).

It’s more than a game—it’s a murder mystery game night you’ll talk about for years. It’s also an unbeatable team-building idea, party centerpiece, or birthday surprise. And spoiler alert: it always ends with a dramatic reveal and a lot of high-fives.

A Mystery Party Theme for Every Style (Not Just One Story)

You’re not stuck playing the same old whodunnit every time. One of the best parts of hosting a murder mystery party with The Murder Mystery Company is the expansive catalog of themes to choose from. Of all the themes, Best Laid Plans is the closest to a real-life game of Clue—set in a sprawling mansion and featuring a lineup of characters inspired by the classic suspects themselves. But the options don’t stop there.

From roaring ‘20s speakeasies to chaotic weddings that don’t have a happily ever after, each theme comes with its own set of suspects, motives, and twists—so you can pick the story that fits your crowd (or mood) best. Want an elegant masquerade? A 1950s sock hop? The choice is yours, and the plot changes every time.

And here’s the really fun part: every new theme is an excuse to get creative with costumes and decorations. Whether you’re donning fedoras and flapper dresses, rolling out the red carpet, or transforming your space into a neon-lit mall, each party becomes a unique, Instagram-worthy experience that looks (and feels) completely different from the last.
