A Haunted Island Murder is perfect for murder mystery fans who love a little backstory with their body count. With vibes that feel like a cross between I Know What You Did Last Summer and a coastal ghost story, it’s ideal for parties with an eerie ambiance . Whether you’re hosting around Halloween, near a lake or beach, or just want to bring some stormy, suspenseful energy to your living room, this mystery is your ticket to a chillingly immersive experience.

What happened that night was only the beginning.

Ten years ago, a group of teens went out to an island for a party – an island rumoured to be haunted. What happened that night has tormented them ever since.

And one… never returned.

Suddenly, a decade later, an invitation arrives from someone thought long dead…

Now, they have to return to the Haunted Island where it all took place

At the request of a dead man

But when the guests start dying one by one

Those left standing have to find the killer or killers

Or they could be next!

As a storm rolls in and the body count rises, old wounds are reopened and long-buried secrets claw their way to the surface. Every guest has something to hide… and someone to fear. The Haunted Island isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a character in its own right, watching, waiting, and ensuring that the truth will finally be revealed. But at what cost?

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!!
