A Roman Murder is perfect for history lovers, fans of political intrigue, and anyone who’s ever wanted to don a toga and navigate betrayal in the heart of Ancient Rome. Whether you’re planning a toga mystery party, a history-themed gathering, or just want to host a murder mystery night with a twist of imperial danger, this murder mystery game turns your space into the deadliest court in the world.
A celebration turns deadly, but this murder could bring Rome to its knees…
The year is 176 AD. Emperor Marcus Aurelius has returned to Rome, victorious from the front lines, to host a grand celebration in honour of his daughter Lucilla’s birthday—and to finalize a political marriage between his son, Commodus, and noblewoman Drusa Clovius.
But when Drusa is found murdered before the engagement is made official, the joyous occasion turns into chaos.
Now, whispers of conspiracy echo through the halls of the Imperial Palace. With tensions between rival houses already high, one more spark could ignite a civil war Rome cannot afford.
Was Drusa’s death a personal vendetta, a political move, or something far darker? The suspects include senators, soldiers, servants, and nobles alike—and they’re all willing to lie to protect their place in history.

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!!
