When the tornado dropped Dorothy and Toto in the Wonderful Land of Oz, no one stopped to question how the house landed right on top of the Wicked Witch of the East! After Dorothy returned to Oz however, an inquiry was launched, and it was determined that the East Witch’s death was PREMEDITATED! The suspects have been identified and, with varying degrees of magic, returned to the Land of Oz for the investigation to take place. Who orchestrated the death of the East Witch under Dorothy’s house that fateful day? All your favourite characters from the classic book have returned, and it’s up to the suspects and investigators to determine who had the motive, means and opportunity to commit murder in the Land of Oz!

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!!
