Q. I want an easy-to-arrange party. Won't this involve a lot of organising on my part?

A. Writemeamurder aims to make your party as trouble-free as possible for you, the host.  Besides letting us know a little bit about your guests, your party date and any preferred theme, all you need to do is decide where to have it, and whether to provide any food!  On the evening, you will find that the party runs itself, and will be just as much fun for you as the host, as it will for the other guests.  Plus, you don't have to be creative to host a writemeamurder party. All instructions and everything you need for a smooth-running party will be included in our host's guide. At the end of the evening, everyone will be congratulating you on what a fantastic party you've just thrown!

Q. I still don't get it - what exactly is a murder mystery party?

A. If you've never attended a murder mystery party before and aren't too sure what's involved, download a sample plot by clicking here, and you will see the sort of thing that's involved.  Of course if you have any further questions you can always contact us and we will try to answer them.

Q. I'm not quite sure if a couple of my guests will be able to attend - what can I do?

A. If you're not sure that one or more guests will be able to attend - don't worry, just let us know when you order your murder mystery game and we will write them a peripheral role. In other words, there will be a role for them if they can attend, but they are not pivotal to the plot, in case they are unable to be with you.  Peripheral characters, even though they know they are not the murderer, can still have a lot of fun guessing who the guilty party is!

Q. I don't want to print out the instructions and character information. Can you send them to me?

A. No problem.  If you would like your game printed and sent to you by post, please select that option at checkout.  We do have to add a fee to cover printing and postage however.

Q. Won't I find out who the murderer is in advance - especially if you send me a plot to download?

A. We've thought of that!  If you choose to dowload your game, you'll benefit from a saving on the usual postage and printing charges.  However, we always send the solution to you by post in a sealed envelope- so you won't be tempted to peek!

Q. My party is in less that 9 weeks time - what shall I do?

A. No problem, for an extra fee we can write you a plot in less time - but we do need a minimum of 6 weeks' notice. 

Q. I need some costumes - help!

A.  We can recommend costumes for your event, which you can easily find in fancy dress shops.  If the costume or accessory you are looking for is proving hard to find, contact us and we'll see what we can do to help you out.

Q.  Are your games suitable for children?

A. Let us know if children are going to be at the party and whether they want a role.  Our plots can easily be written around children being present, we might just have to tone down the juicy details a fraction occasionally!

Q. What is something goes wrong on the evening?

A. We're confident that nothing will, but if something untoward does happen on the evening, such as one of your character booklets going astray, the dog eating the solution or whatever, don't panic. The beauty of having downloaded it all is that you can just log back in and reprint anything you've lost.

Q. Can you supply actors for murder mystery events?

A. We certainly can, in the UK at least.  Contact us for more information.
