Foul Play Murder Mystery Game

5/13/2021

Greetings Adventurers, Members of the Mysterious, and Seekers of Intrigue,

Foul Play, our murder mystery game, is an entirely different experience from our Murder Mystery Box.

Foul Play features three different cases to solve, using the same group of suspects. Unlike our Murder Mystery Box, there is no journal. Instead, you are presented with the introduction to each case and clue cards to aid in eliminating or identifying the various aspects of the case. Additionally, there is a sealed reveal envelope that explains the resolution to the mystery.

The idea is to keep the suspect cards readily available for the game players and hide the clue cards in plain sight. As the players make their way around the room or area the game is being played, they spot the cards and use them to aid in solving the case.

Our murder mystery game Foul Play is for two or more players. For your next gathering or game night, consider playing something a little outside the box. Foul Play is currently available, and shipping is on us.

Ah, the head of security is phoning. I'm afraid I must take this call. Until next time, mystery awaits…

Enjoying a Murder Mystery Box in a Group

12/31/2020

Greetings Adventurers, Members of the Mysterious, and Seekers of Intrigue,

We’ve had several inquiries as to how to enjoy a Murder Mystery Box with others or in a group. Typically, our boxes are designed to be enjoyed solo. That doesn’t mean that they cannot be experienced with others, but a little creativity may be needed.

Our Murder Mystery Boxes contain a journal and evidence envelopes. The journal can be read by a designated narrator in your group or passed around and read aloud. At specific points in the journal, the reader shall be prompted to open evidence envelopes. It is at this point that the contents of the envelope can be reviewed and discussed by all members of the group. Near the end of the journal, you shall be prompted to predict the outcome of the case and warned that the reveal is near. Beyond that point, the resolution to the case shall be revealed.

You can find out who among your group nailed it, who was close, and who was way off the mark. Either way, it can be a fun way to find out who among you is the chiefest of detectives.

Alas, I see that I am tardy for an important meeting and I must end this post. Enjoy your Murder Mystery Box on your own or with others. Until next time, mystery awaits…

Murder Mystery Box Holiday Shipping

11/7/2020

Greetings Adventurers, Members of the Mysterious, and Seekers of Intrigue,

Well, 2020 has been quite a peculiar year for us all. It is our hope that all of our adventurers are keeping safe. We are happy to provide our investigators with a little distraction during these unusual times.

We’ve noticed a few delays over the last few months concerning the Postal Service. For us, it has been a rare occurrence. Nearly all of our adventurers receive their mysteries as expected.

The typical postal transit time is 3-5 postal days. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 and other recent postal changes, some delivery delays may occur, especially as we enter the holiday shipping season. If ordering a one-time, on-demand Murder Mystery Box, we recommend ordering early to ensure you receive your boxes as expected.

As a reminder, if you are gifting a one-time annual subscription to Murder Mystery Box, your recipient shall receive their first box mid-January. A few weeks after Christmas, just when they think all their gifts have been opened…Boom! First box is in their mailbox. We have a PDF on our website that you may print out to give/send/email to your box recipient to let them know their gift is on the way.

You must excuse me, a visitor requires my attention. I must bid you farewell. Until next time, mystery awaits…

Still Time to Subscribe to Murder Mystery Box

Greetings Adventurers, Members of the Mysterious, and Seekers of Intrigue,

There are only a few days left to subscribe to this quarter’s Murder Mystery Box. Our third-quarter box shall ship mid-October and is on schedule, as usual. Only a few weeks until your Murder Mystery Box is in your hands, ready for you to investigate.

Join Kit Ashby, a celebrity talent agent that becomes embroiled in a mystery. Using her journal and the clues & evidence collected along the way, can you solve this mystery?

If you are looking to gift a quarterly Murder Mystery Box to a friend, consider our one-time, annual subscription. It does not auto-renew. It’s a one-time thing. We also have one-time boxes available.

Pardon me, but I am being summoned to the vault. My apologies, but I must go. Until next time, mystery awaits…

Murder Mystery Game Foul Play

8/16/2019

Greetings Adventurers, Members of the Mysterious, and Seekers of Intrigue,

A short time ago, we unveiled our murder mystery game Foul Play. I thought I'd touch bases here on the blog about it. Our new murder mystery game is an entirely different experience from our Murder Mystery Box.

Foul Play features three different cases to solve, using the same group of suspects. Unlike our Murder Mystery Box, there is no journal. Instead you are presented with the introduction to each case, clue cards to aid in eliminating or identifying the various aspects of the case. Additionally, there is a sealed reveal envelope that explains the resolution to the case.

The idea is to keep the suspect cards readily available for the players of the game and to hide the clue cards in plain sight. As the players make their way around the room or area the game is being played, they spot the cards and use them to aid them in solving the case.

Our murder mystery game Foul Play is for two or more players. For your next gathering or game night, consider playing something a little outside the box. Foul Play is currently available for $20.99 and shipping is on us.

Ah, the curator is ringing me. I'm afraid, I must take this call. Until next time, mystery awaits…

Greetings Adventurers, Members of the Mysterious, and Seekers of Intrigue,

I have just enough time for a quick post. We, at Murder Mystery Box, are excited about a new project that is in the works.

We shall keep you posted and, of course, let you know when it's ready to go live.

Ah, I'm being summoned to the library. I must go at this time. Until next time, mystery awaits…
