Setting the Scene
Football Murder Mystery Party
After making the playoffs but finishing just short of a Super Bowl birth, the Pitbulls are ready to
celebrate the highlights of their season!
As the team’s players, coaches, and league comrades gather for a season ending party, there is no shortage of scandal.
From debating who is to blame for the season ending interception, to the talk of player trades and speculation about the star quarterback returning or retiring this year — there is no topic off the table.
What the guests don’t realize is — not only is the future of the team at stake, but so is the future of one of the guests! Someone will perish in a fatal party penalty!
Will it be the social media-savvy wide receiver — who has sent his last tweet?
The rookie quarterback who will never get a chance to shine?
The offensive coordinator who has made one too many bad play calls?
Or possibly the ever-calculating coach whose moves
in free agency may cost him his life?
As the clock winds down on the evening, a culprit will try to sneak in one final play to avoid being caught in this football murder mystery game. With a fourth down and one final clue to uncover, it is up to the party guests to catch a murderer before he goes free!

Absolutely. We make it easy with two types of downloadable invites:

YES! As host, you get to decide how much or little you know about the murder.
If you want to play along, you will want to read the host’s guide in full to ensure that you are setting the game up correctly WITHOUT letting you know who the murderer is in this murder mystery party game!
In most Night of Mystery parties, the victim doesn’t sit out—they become the investigator for the second half of the game!
Since the victim doesn’t know who killed them, they can jump right back into the action—questioning suspects, gathering clues, and trying to solve their own murder.
