Phantom of the Theatre is a spine-tingling, spotlight-stealing murder mystery party game that turns your living room, theatre, or event space into a haunted Broadway stage. With three murders to solve and a cast full of secrets, you and your guests will be wondering if that creak backstage was… perhaps… something else? Perfect for Halloween, theatre buffs, or anyone who believes the show must go on, even after a few murders!
Join the cast and crew of The Blue Lady at the historic Moxey Theatre for a TRIPLE MURDER investigation no one will ever forget!
Renowned Broadway director Olivier Lyons has purchased the dilapidated Moxey Opera House and spent two years restoring it, all to put on his production of The Blue Lady, a tale of crime and betrayal based on a true story. The Moxey Theatre is a stunning venue that closed during the Great Depression. Temporarily shuttered, it fell into disrepair.
Then, there were the ghosts…
Unexplained accidents and actors being tormented and disappearing has plagued the lead-up to opening night. But when the electrical line rig collapses, killing the two main stars, and then a third man dies in the aisle, the patrons of The Moxey Theatre have themselves become suspects in a bizarre triple murder! Was it really The Phantom of the Theatre behind it all, or is there a more diabolical plot afoot?
This mystery is a 4/5 on the Angel Rating Scale. The mystery party game revolves around a murder but otherwise is “Clean”, meaning there are no sex or drug references, and as with all of SHOT’s mystery kits, no foul language. It’s suitable for adults and takes place in a revamped theatre. The Phantom of the Theatre Mystery Game does have a triple murder, so the difficulty rating is high.
In the SHOT-iverse, this mystery party takes place in the same universe as A Flapper Murder at the 1920s Speakeasy, A Gangster Murder at the 1920s Speakeasy, The Sly Mr. Foxx, Murder on the Continental Express and all Ruby’s Trove mysteries, as well as The New Years Eve Party Murder and Death By Chocolate. As with all of SHOT’s mystery games, there is no foul language in the materials.

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!!
