Perfect for special occasions, company events or legendary hosts.

Some hosts want to pick a theme and go. Others want something nobody else has ever played.

Mystery by Design is a fully custom freeform murder mystery game, built from scratch, specifically for your group. You bring the guest list and the vision. Our writers handle everything else. The result is a completely original mystery where your guests’ real personalities, real relationships, and real chaos drive the night.

Here’s what that looks like in practice: Your guests don’t get handed a character from a catalog. They get a character written around them, their quirks, their reputation in the group, their history with other guests. The evidence, the twists, and the reveals are designed to land for your specific crew. Nobody has played this before. Nobody ever will again.

This is the only custom freeform murder mystery game available anywhere. Not scripted. Not templated. Not recycled. Yours.

What’s included:

• Completely original storyline built around your vision and guest list
• Characters written for your actual guests
• Custom evidence and clues that scale with your group size
• A reveal tailored to your specific mystery
• Direct collaboration with one of our creative writers

Priced at $99 per character. Minimum 6 guests.
