The reading of the will turns extraordinary.
When eccentric billionaire Jed Manhattan is found dead in his sprawling estate, the reading of his will becomes anything but ordinary. Tonight, you and your dinner guests will step into the shoes of his closest associates—each with secrets, motives, and alibis that don't quite add up.
The Mystery That Started It All
Jed Manhattan lived large, loved extravagantly, and made enemies effortlessly. His sudden death has left everyone shocked, but as the evening unfolds and his final wishes are revealed, it becomes clear that someone at this very dinner table wanted him gone. The question isn't whether he was murdered—it's which of you did it.
Set against the backdrop of Manhattan's elite social circle, this isn't just a game—it's an immersive theatrical experience where every guest becomes a suspect, every conversation could reveal a clue, and every course of dinner brings you closer to the truth.
The Experience You'll Create
Picture this: Your guests arrive in character, already suspicious of each other. As you move through cocktails, appetizers, and the main course, secrets emerge naturally through conversation. Someone mentions they saw Jed arguing with his business partner. Another guest nervously changes the subject when asked about their whereabouts that evening. By dessert, accusations are flying and alliances are forming.
The beauty of this murder mystery lies in how it transforms an ordinary dinner party into an unforgettable theatrical experience. Your dining room becomes a crime scene, your guests become actors, and everyone leaves with stories they'll be talking about for months.
Why This Game Stands Out
Opulent High-Society Setting
Step into the world of billionaire Jed Manhattan with lush ambiance and wealthy characters under suspicion.
In-dept and Inclusive Writing & Complex Characters
Multi-layered personalities—complete with depth, LGBTQ+ representation, and occasional edgy language—crafted by top-tier writers.
Gourmet Dinner Experience
Not just a mystery—three full gourmet menus (with recipes) elevate your evening with culinary flair.

The game includes three gourmet menu options with easy-to-follow recipes, transforming your regular dinner party into an immersive mystery experience. All you need is a printer, dinner table, and 6-11 enthusiastic players ready to solve a crime.
🎭 Who can play this game?
This murder mystery dinner game is perfect for ages 18 and up, accommodating 6-11 players plus a host (who can also play a character). It's ideal for dinner parties, date nights, family gatherings, birthday celebrations, and group events. The game features LGBTQ+-friendly characters and inclusive storylines, making it welcoming for diverse groups. Both mystery game newcomers and experienced players find it engaging and accessible.
❓ How difficult is this game?
The difficulty is rated as moderate for beginners and easy for experienced players. The game strikes an ideal balance - challenging enough to be engaging without being frustratingly complex. Well-developed characters with rich backstories and a carefully crafted clue system make investigation enjoyable rather than overwhelming. The award-winning storyline provides enough twists and red herrings to keep everyone guessing until the final reveal.
🎶 Do I need a host?

The comprehensive hosting guide makes it easy for first-time hosts to run a successful mystery party. Having a dedicated host ensures smooth gameplay and helps manage the investigation process effectively.
