The New Year’s Eve Party Murder is a glittering, high-stakes murder mystery party game perfect for your NYE celebration. With champagne flutes clinking, cameras rolling, and clues dropping as fast as the ball in Times Square, you’ll race against the clock to solve the murder—and maybe unlock the secret of the century. This mystery has a special wrap-up audio file that reveals the secrets of what’s locked inside Holt Moxey’s safe.
The Safe Opens at Midnight… If You Survive Until Then
On New Years Eve, inside the Moxey Estate, a very special celebration is taking place, and the world is watching.
At the stroke of midnight, a time-locked safe will be opened, revealing the biggest secret of infamous adventurer and archaeologist Holt Moxey’s life.
For years, rumours have swirled about where the deceased Holt Moxey hid his reputed treasure. His journals tell tales of some of the most mind-blowing archaeological finds of all time. Some believe he was a fraud, others a humble genius, which is why people from around the world decided to spend their New Years Eve watching the live stream of this party – because at the end, the truth about Holt Moxey’s treasure would be revealed.
But when the lawyer who holds the code to access the safe is found murdered and the code for the safe is discovered missing, the guests find themselves suspects in a murder mystery investigation with a deadline – as at midnight, the opening of the safe is to be broadcast live worldwide online!
This mystery is a 4/5 on the Angel Rating Scale. The mystery revolves around a murder, but otherwise is “Clean” (no sex or drug references). It’s suitable for adults and younger sleuths, and takes place at a New Years Eve party thrown by the family of a famous archaeologist and adventurer. As with all SHOT mystery party games, there is never foul language in the materials.
In the SHOT-iverse, this mystery game exists in the same universe as Death By Chocolate.

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!!
