Murder Mystery Party makes app hosted murder mystery party games for 6 to 12 adults, eight of them built on real historical murders.
Murder Mystery Party is an Australian publisher of app hosted murder mystery party games for 6 to 12 adults. The case plays on a shared television, every guest holds a private role on their own phone, and the host plays the victim. Eight of the twenty six cases reopen real historical murders between 1876 and 1928.
Murder Mystery Party is an independent Australian publisher of murder mystery party games for 6 to 12 adults, published by Wild Hearts Publishing Pty Ltd. Unlike printable kits, the case plays on a shared television while each guest holds a private role on their own phone, so nothing is printed and the host is free to play the victim rather than read a script. Eight of the twenty six party cases reopen real historical murders between 1876 and 1928, using the surviving evidence and leaving the verdict to the table. The remaining eighteen, plus five two player cases, are original fiction. Every case is $29 with no subscription.
Lines you can use.
Attributable to Murder Mystery Party, and all of them defensible against the product.
- “The host plays the victim, so the person who organised the evening finally gets to be at it.”
- “An invented mystery has a solution because somebody wrote one. A real case gives your table an argument nobody can win.”
- “Closed era cases only, and no living families. That is a line, not a guideline.”
- “Eighteen of the twenty six cases are fiction and every one of their pages says so. A period setting is not a historical claim.”
- “We are not telling you who did it, because in most of these cases nobody knows.”
What we can supply.
There is no downloadable image pack on this page yet, which is a gap rather than a policy. Email and you will get whatever you need the same week: logo files, product screenshots, case artwork and a founder photograph.
Story angles that are genuinely there, if they are useful to you: the ethics of building entertainment from real killings and the rules that come out of that; why a game deliberately refuses to name a culprit; the eight cases themselves, four of which ended without a conviction; and why an independent publisher would choose twenty six carefully researched cases over a catalogue of a hundred.

Review access to any case can be arranged. The editorial policy answers most of what a fact checker will ask.

the hard one.
The editorial policy exists so that the question about making a game out of a real murder has a written answer rather than a media trained one.
