The year is 1857 and the Wild West of legend is in full swing. Gold fever has taken over, and for the past few years, people of all ages and backgrounds have rushed to California to find their riches. Here in what will later be known as Colorado though, things are much less exciting. As people pass by Cherry Creek, Pike’s Peak and the South Platte River en route to San Francisco, they quickly learn that, aside from the occasional tumbleweed rolling by, life in Cherry Creek is pretty dull. But locals and travelers alike have one place to go that is always exciting, fun and filled with joviality – The Cherry Creek Saloon.
It’s a night like any other at Cherry Creek Saloon, and owner Abe Flores is enjoying a full house. But then, an accusation of cheating against one of the players causes Jeb Lyman to overturn the table in his fury, and an all-out saloon brawl ensues! When the dust settles, a body is found beneath the rubble. Who killed Jeb Lyman? Why? What happened to the sac he wore tied to his belt? Are the thief and murderer one in the same, or are there two scoundrels in your midst? Question the suspects to find who had the motive, means and opportunity to commit the Murder at Cherry Creek Saloon – the killer could be YOU!
This Western Murder Mystery Party is rated 4/5 on the “clean” scale. In addition to the murder, there is reference to drinking and bar room brawl. A western murder mystery game kit that is suitable for most ages and participants!

Great time! This was our second murder mystery party and it generates huge fanfare each time. The mysteries are set up to be challenging but not overly challenging and its great that everyone can participate without knowing who the killer is beforehand! This company is great to work with and is always accommodating to questions.
The best party – EVER! Shot in the Dark Mysteries made the planning so easy that we could focus on making our basement look like an 80s prom. Our theme was “Chiller Thriller” and we had a blast decorating. Every person that came said they had so much fun and wanted to host their own parties. The idea that no knows who the killer is works so well. Thanks Shot in the Dark Mysteries for providing an easy, fabulous way to have fun with friends!
I love Shot in the Dark mysteries! They made so many of our parties (birthdays, new years, just because!) extra special by getting our friends engaged in solving the crimes! They’re such a great value, and even our friends that aren’t extroverts can get into being a character and sleuthing. I also love that I am able to host and participate in the murder mystery! So much fun!!
