Season 5 Just Dropped… Dead
It’s the Season 5 Kick-Off Party for reality TV show, The Really Desperate Housewives! Season 5 promises more drama, more glitz, and more secrets than ever before. Our favorite housewives are back, and they’re ready to bring you into their world of luxury, drama and scandal.
The Season 5 Kick-Off party is taking place at Peyton Fletcher’s house. Peyton, one of the show’s original cast members, hosts the kick-off party each year in her mansion. Typically, guests mingle outside around the pool. No expense is spared as Peyton transforms her family home with a dance floor, live band, and more! As the evening unfolds, cameras roll, catching all the designer dresses, tiny purse dogs, snippy one-liners and side eye glances.
But when one of the cast members, Joelle Glass, is found murdered in the hallway, suddenly these reality TV stars find themselves suspects in her murder! Who killed her? More importantly, WHY? Gather your funnest friends and get ready for a KILLER night as you solve The Really Desperate Housewives Murder!
This murder mystery party kit revolves around a murder and has mentions of affairs between some of the suspects and a character who is not in attendance at the party (so no relationships between your guests!). It earned a 3/5 on the Angel Rating Scale because of the mention of affairs.
In the “SHOT-iverse”, this murder mystery game exists in the same universe as The Getty Affair.

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!!
