Whodunit? The Best Murder Mystery Games

Let's get down to business. Murder mystery parties are like catnip for those who love a good whodunnit. But with a million and one games out there, picking the perfect one to baffle your buddies can feel like solving a cold case. Fear not, detective! We're here to spill the beans on the best murder mystery games around.

Why Play a Murder Mystery Game?

Look, we could wax poetic about the thrill of the chase, the joy of accusing your best friend of murder (just for fun, of course), or the satisfaction of finally figuring out whodunit. But let's face it: it's way more fun to dress up as a flapper or pretend you're a mobster. Are we right?!

Choosing the Perfect Murder Mystery: It's Elementary, Dear Watson

Picking the right murder mystery game is like choosing your murder weapon – it needs to be perfect. Consider these factors: 

• Complexity: Are your guests seasoned sleuths or more like clueless civilians?
• Theme: Do you want a roaring 20's gangster bash or a spooky haunted house?
• Player Count: Will everyone get a juicy role, or will some people be stuck as boring old Aunt Mildred?

Top Suspects: Our Favorite Murder Mystery Games

You can't talk murder mystery games without putting some respect on the all time classic...

• Clue - The Classic: It's old school, but it's a classic for a reason. Plus, you get to accuse people with candlestick holders.

But we didn't come here to talk board games. MysteryWild is about empowering friends to get together and party. So here are our favorite murder mystery games!

We love the classics!

• 'TRAILER TERROR': Listen! Everyone has a little trailer trash in them, and this theme is one of our favorites because it frees up our friends to be wildly trashy for the night, with no judgment. Whether your friends are the most charismatic or not, this theme makes it easy for all guests to find and embrace their character!

• 'SPEAKEASY SEDUCTION': Dressing up like a mobster, a flapper, or somewhere in between? Say no more! It's hard not to love the Prohibition inspired, 1920's theme. Fun outfits? Check!, Great for couples? Check! We could go on and on. There is a reason every mystery party company runs this theme out there as a top hit. Plus, if you are serving booze at your mystery party, well then... you get it!

• 'SIN CITY SECRETS': Everyone loves Vegas! And what is more fun than participating in a Vegas themed murder mystery party if you can't actually be in Vegas, getting wild (or grabbing dinner and a show). If you have friends like ours, then you will love the adult themed drama that this mystery brings. Plus decoration and food themed ideas galore!
