Exciting News: Introducing Our New Interactive DINNER PARTY Murder Mystery Games from Shot In The Dark Mysteries!

If you’ve been with SHOT for a while, you know that for the last 20 years, Shot In The Dark Mysteries has been at the forefront of the murder mystery party scene with our innovative “Mingle Mystery” format, which Leigh created from the ground up to solve all the problems with the traditional, turn-based, (embarrassing) stunt driven murder mystery party format. What has been tumbled and fine-tuned since is a true investigation-style murder mystery party that has our clients coming back year after year. We’ve loved helping you create unforgettable memories, reading your reviews and seeing and sharing your amazing party pictures as you bring your mystery to life.

Now, we’re thrilled to announce something new that will take your mystery party experience to the next level: our brand-new Dinner Party Murder Mystery Games!

You might be wondering, “Is it easier or harder than SHOT’s Mingle Mysteries?”

Well, from a gameplay perspective, it’s actually more challenging! Since you’re seated around a table, you’ll have to run down your theories and question suspects right in front of everyone else—without tipping your hand. But don’t worry, we’ve built in a break for one-on-one questioning so you can get to the juicy secrets without everyone else eavesdropping.

So, how do you decide which format is right for you?

Consider your guests, your hosting style, the theme of your party, and the experience you want to create. If you’re leaning towards a formal, three-course meal with a side of intrigue, the Dinner Party format is calling your name. If you prefer something more casual and free-flowing, our classic Mingle Mysteries might be the way to go. At checkout, you can now easily choose between the two formats. It’s that simple!

We have another great post on the differences (with a handy visual chart) to help you decide which format is right for your next party here!
