Reviews for The Winter Wonderland Murder Mystery Party
We had a Christmas party for 30 some adults at church. I purchased The Winter Wonderland Murder with 6 suspects. We had SO MUCH FUN!!
We started with the announcement of murder before dinner, so as everyone was eating they were also questioning the suspects.
Two and a half hours later we brought the questioning to a close and everyone had to put in their accusations.
We will definitely be doing more of these! Thank you!!
I’ve hosted 3 Shot in the Dark Mystery parties and each one was a huge success. They are so well written and easy to host. My friends are always asking me to host another. Y’all are amazing!
Wow! We did this as a fundraiser, SHOT even sent us a coupon for a free mystery to hand out as a prize. This was the most productive fundraiser we have ever had, will definitely do this again next year!
