Hi Tim. We played Natural Porn Killers which was hysterical
and we had such a fab time playing it! I think you do need to give
the flow chart to somebody who has had the least to drink tho!!! 5
Stars! Great value and we look forward to playing the pumpkin
one this Halloween. Many thanks. And please use my
comments, as it was an excellent game!

Just to let you know that Cards on the Table went down really well
over Christmas and was appreciated by all. Everyone applauded
its informative content which kept our attention at all times.
It was easy to follow.
Stacks better than the box-game equivalents!

Dear Tim,
Thanks so much for the updated "Slaughter at the Circus" game, I
really appreciate it. The new improvements make hosting the parties
that much easier. Your games are actually the first mystery games
that really do "run themselves" so to speak. I forgot how much fun
this game was, now definitely excited. Will keep you posted
how it goes this summer. Thank you again. It's always a
pleasure.

(Note - Dennis was "redoing" Slaughter at the Circus after buying it
a couple of years ago. I sent him the improved version with
colour coding and flowcharts so he could do it again in summer 2010)

Dear Tim,
We did The Murder at the North Pole with 18 people. It was
wonderful, and everyone can't wait to do another. Much simpler
than others we have done. Loved the flow charts. Very
funny and we had a ball dressing up. Nicely done, Thanks.

We enjoyed our merrymurder immensely! We used it as part of
our Halloween party with a multinational group of friends. The color
coding and the flow charts made it easy to follow, even for a bunch
of drunken professors! I especially appreciated the fact that
you'd printed the color name in addition to using the color. Color
printers are hard to find here - actually printers are hard to find.
I had it printed in black and white and was then able to use markers
to add the colors. Even our friends who have a first language
other than English found it easy to follow and to participate fully!
The group gave it rave reviews and said they would love to try
another. You'll be hearing from us in the future.

Hello Tim,
Thank you so much for the free download. We definitely were able to
play and it was amazing. We had so much fun with the characters.
Everyone had a blast.
Everyone was put together in such a fashion that there were no
problems in playing the scenes out or understanding what was going
on. I have recommended your site to several of our friends. One in
particular has received one from you already.
Thank you again for the fun!

We enjoyed our murder mystery immensely! My daughter had a 17th
birthday party and we staged the murder mystery for her guests.
I thought it was constructed very well. The instructions were
very easy to follow and the color coding a MUST. Most of the kids at
the party are also in the theater and they said they wished all
scripts were broken down that way.
I personally thought that it was very well organized, well written,
the characterizations were great and it was a joy to perform. We
will definitely be looking to Merry Murder again for mysteries.

Hi Tim,
Our murder mystery game was excellent. Everyone enjoyed it.
It was easy to understand and very easy to follow. By far the best
I've played yet. No need to change anything, it was great!
THANKS!

Hi there.
We are in South Africa and had our merrymurder party for my
25th birthday.
We had a few American friends out and they still cant stop raving
about the game.
What was meant to be a 10 man game turned out to be 15 and we had
loads of laughs!
The instructions where amazing and very easy to follow.... the
downloading was magic to my fingertips and the flow charts were
definitely welcome as we were all first timers.
Finding this sort of fun entertainment in the shops is impossible as
there is simply no one selling these games and definitely a demand
for it.
You are a genius and thank you so much for a fun filled game.
Regards

Hi Tim,
Just a quick note to let you know about the Pungent Pumpkin Poisoner
which we played last night.
We managed to gather together 9 of us (none of whom are particularly
outgoing and probably all of whom were quite apprehensive about the
idea of acting out a murder mystery)
Everyone entered into the spirit of the game and came in costume.
This provided everyone with a great laugh even before we started. In
respect of the accents, we had (politically incorrect and very
dodgy!) Yorkshire for Sir Hamish and for some reason best known to
herself, African for Gigi!
We set the scene seated around a table in a "restaurant" (front
room!) as per the script, but as it was Halloween, decorated with a
Halloween theme (the fact that pumpkins were integral to the game
made this easy).
As everyone made an effort with costumes, accents or decorations,
then the atmosphere was set before the game even started, the guests
felt a lot more relaxed and the game flowed much better.
Quite often, probably due to the excess alcohol, people were missing
their cues - this is where the colour coded flowcharts were
invaluable. A quick nod or prompt in the right direction
soon got things back on track. Anyone who is worried about the game
not flowing or missed cues, shouldn't.
We had a short 5-10 minute break after each round and the whole game
took us about 3 hours. Even after a 3 hour investigation, no-one
present guessed the identity of the guilty party. However when the
solution was finally revealed everyone was able to track back over
the clues and see how the whole scenario had unfolded. Unlike
some other murder mysteries the solution is very plausible and fits
perfectly.
Everyone commented afterwards on how much they had enjoyed the
evening and even when it was over, they were very reluctant to leave
their characters behind!
They are now insisting that they are invited to the next one (A
Merrymurder Pantocrime), which we are planning to hold around
Christmas!
As for myself, as host, I'll feel a lot less nervous about how
things will go next time, after seeing how easy last night's game
was to play.
Everything was great and we had a fantastic time!
Thanks for a great evening,
Barry Killick - Wallington, England

What a scream we all had on Halloween night with "Ten Little
Vampires". Brilliant script with some hilarious twists.
We all threw ourselves into it from the off and finished the evening
actually believing we had spent our night on Vampire Island. Thanks
for thoroughly entertaining us. Rest assured we will be back for
more.

Hi Tim
Just a quick note to say thanks again for your advice on "Slaughter
at the Circus". We all had a really memorable night (never
knew we had such acting talent!) I'm sure we'll re-visit
merrymurder so keep writing!!

Dear Tim,
Just to let you know, I think the new updates to your games are
great. The first person answers work a lot easier, and the colour
coded flowcharts make running and hosting them simpler and faster...
The colour coded flowcharts and first person responses are a host's
dream - especially if you are doing the games during dinner parties
and between cooking and serving food you need to keep things running
and organised. They're great!

I teach crime scene dynamics and criminal and business law courses.
I used your program for the classes and they were amazing. The
students got into the roles and even a couple of them were made for
their character. It was so much fun. They all had a blast. We also
found the flowcharts extremely useful and a great idea. Please
tell your prospective customers you have my wholehearted support and
thanks. It was a great time had by all.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I just wanted to let you know that I downloaded your "Pungent
Pumpkin Poisoner" mystery and found it was brilliant! It was
hilarious, well-crafted, the ending was unexpected, and I really
enjoyed it.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know, your game really stands out!

Dear Tim,
I don't know where to begin, but I hope I don't end up rambling.
Last night, my group of friends and family performed your "Ten
Little Vampires" Merry Murder game. It was FANTASTIC!
First off, I think I've written to you in the past, when I first
discovered your corner of the web and told you how great your games
are. They are a mystery lovers dream...detailed plots, plenty
of humor, great acting stunts to help break up the party and, my
personal reason for buying your games, the fact that the solutions
are detailed, full of fair-play clues and make sense at the end.
It's not like you just randomly choose a killer, with nothing to
justify it.
To top it off, when you announced this title, being a huge Christie
fan and a fan of the book "And Then There Were None," I kept
stalking your site and when it finally became available, I purchased
it. After printing everything out and reading through the
party, I was blown away. You have created such a wonderful homage to
the book, using many plot elements, and yet completely made it your
own! Wonderful job!
As for my party, I always love a good Halloween themed mystery, but
I was getting tired of my guests playing various monsters at a
Transylvanian party type deal. This was perfect.
The death scenes were very clever and very funny. My guests
died with gusto and loved every minute of it. They all had a great
time and said this was the best party yet! And they really
liked the format.
Okay, I've chewed your ear off long enough. Again, I just
wanted to say thank you for an awesome time with friends and family.
Your games are wonderful, easy to download and your personal
touches, especially being able to contact you if there are problems,
are priceless. And the flow-charts are a great addition to
your games. Please keep up the good work and I look forward to
more Merry Murders in the future. Feel free to add my comments
to your website. A wonderful game! Great job.
Totally satisfied!

Dear Tim,
I downloaded my game which we played on New Years Eve. It was
a huge success and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
The downloading and printing off of all the paperwork was a doddle
and it was easy to print everything without getting information that
was likely to spoil the game. Great game, great site, will
definitely be using you again. Many thanks!

(and when I thanked her for the kind feedback)
No problem if you want to use my comments on the website, I meant
every word!! I've been looking with interest at some of
your other games but they all look so good I'm not sure which to
choose!! Thanks again for helping us have such a great
evening.

Your Pantomime murder game went down very well, I organised it for
my husband's 50th. There were 16 of us including one child and three
teenagers. Everyone, even the six investigators, dressed up. Tapioca
and Dame Trot were played by men and Jack by a woman, which made for
some hysterical scenes when their bedroom exploits were admitted!
We all enjoyed ourselves very much. The plot was very well thought
out, and all the twists and turns kept us guessing right to the end.
Brilliant. Thanks

you again.

Absolutely no problem with you putting the comments on the site; it
was a great night, so let everybody know! Already got "The
Pumpkin Posioner" downloaded for the next one, and I am sure we will
back for more!

Hello Tim,
I recently download "The Pungent Pumpkin Poisoner", my wife and I had
six of our friends join us. We had an awesome time everyone
dressed in the pre-assigned characters and from the moment they
entered they took on their roles.
The reviews from our friends were ecstatic “best fun we’ve had in a
long time”, “looking forward to the next time”, “very well laid out”
That’s about it - a really awesome time and looking forward to
make a purchase for the next Murder Mystery.
Good Job!

Hi Tim
Thanks for making it possible for us to have a great evening with
"The Wake for Humpty Dumpty" – definitely one to remember. It
took a bit longer than we thought but that was because our team of
‘amateur actors’ insisted on elaborating their parts – possibly too
much food and drink to consume as well!
We decorated the ‘court room’ with pictures of Humpty Dumpty and had
an Information Wall to summarize the starting position. I made
a CD of nursery rhymes with children’s music and adult music of a
related kind (eg Yellow Brock Road - Elton John etc.) all mixed in.
We had a Humpty Dumpty cake. 14 was the maximum number we could
sensibly manage in our house and so two guests took two witness
parts each in separate rounds. All the witnesses had props
provided to encourage them into their parts.
Finally, just to say that the Round Flowcharts were invaluable.
I could not have run the game without them. When anyone had
not picked up a cue etc having the flow charts meant I could prompt
from the sidelines. Good idea.
That’s all there is to say. Thanks for your help.

Hi ya, we downloaded and played "The Pungent
Pumpkin Poisoner" and we had such a great time. The whole game was
so easy to download and print off with clear and precise
instructions. We didn't match the characters to our guests, we just
hid the names on the envelopes and let people choose one. We
had a hairy biker playing the part of Gigi Sparkle (he played the
part a little to well I think..lol). All in all everyone who
was there that night said it was the best laugh they had had for a
long time and are looking forward to doing another game soon. Thank
you x

Hi Tim
Sorry for the delay in replying since you sent me the game through
to play at my birthday do last month but I just wanted to let you
know how much we enjoyed it. Particularly enjoyed the action scenes
with Clifton Curry suddenly dying & then Hamish Hogwash being
chased. None of us actually managed to guess the murderer correctly
- either the game is very cleverly written or we had consumed too
much vino by the end of the 3rd round - a little bit of both I would
guess!!

Hi
Tim!!!!
Thanks for our murder mystery. EVERYONE LOVED IT!!!!! The
instructions were very clear, I printed it all off and assembled
everything fast - so perfect! And the game really played itself.
Pleased to hear that all your games are now written in the 1st
person. When we played ours, especially after a couple of
drinks everyone just read the script word for word so it did sound a
little strange cos they were reading the bits in 3rd person.
Having everything in the 1st person is definitely an improvement.
However everyone took on the character which was a right laugh.
LOL. Oh I tell you everyone loved it they really did!! And we
luckily had some wigs for the women to wear so that was funny too!!!
