At Guilty Games, we create murder mystery party kits designed not only to entertain your guests—but to let you, the host, join in the mystery and fun without the stress. We know what it's like to want to entertain your guests, but sometimes, you can get so caught up in making sure your party is fun for everyone else...that you forget you're supposed to be having fun, too. Our mystery party its are designed for the host to play along--because hosting a party should be just as fun as going to one.
