Planning a Bachelorette, Birthday, or Friendsgiving? Make It a Murder!

Because nothing brings people together like betrayal in a boa.

Forget the spa day. Ditch the wine tasting. If you really want to throw a party your guests will never forget—someone’s gotta die. (Dramatically, of course.)

Whether you're celebrating a bride-to-be, a milestone birthday, or a friendsgiving that needs a little spice, there's one way to guarantee laughs, gasps, and unforgettable memories: host a murder mystery party.

Let’s break down why this is the move for your next celebration.

🎉 Bachelorettes: Champagne, Secrets, and Scandal

Sure, you could go bar-hopping. Or… you could turn your night into a glamorous 1920s speakeasy, where the bride is a jazz singer with a secret and someone at the table is a cold-blooded killer in kitten heels.

Why it works:

• Everyone gets a role—so no one gets left out

• Costumes = instant group bonding (and great photos)

• A fun way to mix friend groups without awkward icebreakers

• Plenty of drama without the morning-after regret

Bonus: The maid of honor can finally say, “I knew you’d end up with a mob boss.”

🎂 Birthdays: Lights, Cake, Murder

Tired of the same old dinner reservations and candles? A murder mystery party turns your birthday into a full-on event. Whether you’re hosting a moody dinner party or a high-energy cocktail bash, Killer Theater kits make it easy to throw a killer soirée.

Why it works:

• You’re the main character—obviously

• Choose your own theme: Roaring 20s, haunted mansion, Hollywood whodunnit

• Great for mixed friend circles or groups of all ages

• You'll have more fun than your last five birthdays combined

Because who says blowing out candles is the only way to celebrate life?

🦃 Friendsgiving: Pass the Mashed Potatoes and the Motive

Look, you love your friends. But if you’re honest… Friendsgiving could use a little drama that doesn’t involve politics or pie crusts.

Why it works:

• Built-in entertainment that doesn’t require a TV

• Keeps everyone engaged between courses

• Turns your potluck into a plot twist

• Great excuse to dress up in character while still wearing stretchy pants

Nothing says gratitude like accusing your best friend of murder over a plate of stuffing.

🕵️ How to Pull It Off (Without Losing Your Mind)

• Choose a Killer Theater mystery kit (themes, instructions, and clue cards included!)

• Assign characters ahead of time so guests can come in costume

• Set the mood with low lighting, dramatic music, and a little “evidence” around the room

• Let the mayhem unfold—you just host and enjoy the chaos

Don’t worry, the kits come with everything you need to run the show—even if you’ve never hosted a party more complicated than ordering takeout.

💀 The Verdict?

Murder mystery parties are fun, memorable, and totally unexpected. They're perfect for any occasion where you want your guests laughing, scheming, and possibly crying (in character, of course).

So the next time you’re planning a party, don’t just throw a get-together. Throw a crime.
