This is one of our best selling murder mystery games (and our Creative Director’s personal favourite) for a reason! This spring, garden themed murder mystery party game offers an all-female cast of suspects and a diabolical murder game that will keep you and your guests guessing until the Big Reveal! This flower themed murder mystery party is the perfect garden party idea, and will leave your guests wanting more. Add in a high tea or tea party, indoors or outdoors, and transport your guests to a secret garden that is the backdrop for this murder mystery! As with all Shot In The Dark Mysteries murder mystery party packages, it’s instant download, a “mingle mystery” or cocktail party-style format, and you, as the host, can always play!

In the quiet town of Christie’s Leigh, right next to the historic local church, sits Belladonna Manor. Having sat empty for years, Belladonna Manor is a mystery to the residents of Christie’s Leigh. Prickly, high garden walls keep prying eyes from learning its secrets – and Belladonna Manor has plenty of secrets!

Suddenly, select residents of the town of Christie’s Leigh and those beyond receive invitations to a garden party at Belladonna Manor. No one knows why they have been invited, but the chance to step within the walls of the garden at Belladonna Manor is too enticing to resist.

But when the local vicar, Vicar Demming, falls down dead during the garden party, the guests are faced with a wicked “murder game”, through which they must discover the identity of their mysterious host, and the reasons why this host felt the vicar needed to die. Which of the guests is the killer? How did Vicar Demming die? Will the guests escape with their own terrible secrets kept hidden?

Suitable for pretty much any party scenario, this instant download murder mystery party game is set at a garden party in a secret garden. It contains the murder of a vicar and is rated a 3/5 of on our Angel Rating Scale – it has no drug references but briefly mentions a child born out of wedlock, and as with all of our 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!!
