Setting the Scene
Toga Murder Mystery Party
An evening of gladiator warfare and celebration is planned for all of Rome to enjoy.
At the heart of the excitement sits Felix Festus, a lanista looking to win the public favor – and in doing so,
a Senate seat – with the donation of his gladiators for exhibition. While no lives will be taken in the ring;
honor, pride and the grand champion title are all at stake in the exhibition.
Although lives will be spared in the arena, the same will not hold true at the festivities.
One Roman will take their last breath at the Roman murder mystery party and it will be up to you to search out
the guilty from the guileful. Was it the brute in a fight for his freedom?
A senator unwilling to award another seat? A socialite who will not accept a rising of the classes?
Or perhaps a slave whose secret runs so deep that murder is the only way to silence it.
As you defend your own innocence, you will be called upon to decipher between the downtrodden and the downright deceitful…
that is, unless the murderer is you!

Excellent Question! And one that needs more explaining, please see the “How to Play” Page of our site and/or download a preview file to get a complete understanding of how our mysteries are run!
Absolutely. We make it easy with two types of downloadable invites:
Before you purchase:
Use our RSVP invitations to invite guests and confirm your headcount (we highly recommend this step!)
After you purchase:
You’ll receive email-ready invitations that include each guest’s character description, so you can assign roles and send everything out in just a few clicks.
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.
