Murder in Margaritaland

A Night of Crime and Chaos in the Caribbean.

How to Play

Is this your first murder? Don’t worry, we take all the pain out of the process.

You simply download the mystery materials, invite your friends, and follow the simple, easy-to-follow guide of how to set-up and run your own murder mystery party with this Caribbean murder mystery party kit.

The night plays out in a simple 8-step process. It starts with guests arriving in costume, leads to a MURDER, and concludes when the mystery is solved.

Secrets for Success

What else do you need to know? Here’s some wisdom gained through hosting thousands of these parties!

All of the information regarding how to run your Murder in Margaritaland party can be found online at Night of Mystery. We highly suggest that you take time to look over our website and download the Murder in Margaritaland preview file. Upon reading the introduction file, it will give you a better understanding about how the parties are run and what to expect once you purchase a full mystery file.

If you still have question, the Frequently Asked Questions page at Night of Mystery is a great resource or you can contact us.

Since our games are custom written for the size of the party (ie, we don’t just create a mystery with 8 characters and then keep adding more characters to it), each mystery size is unique unto itself. That being said, going from 10-15 version to 15-20 version, will not only add in more characters, but it will change the storylines of the existing characters, and vice-versa in going from a larger version to a smaller one.

Because of this, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST you get a guest count before formally ordering. You can do so by downloading an invitation, inviting your guests and then purchasing your mystery once you have a more accurate number of people attending. Unfortunately, if you find yourself purchasing the wrong sized party, you will have to purchase another version of the mystery for the size you want unless you are moving from the 15-20 version to the 20+ version.

You can download an invitation here before ordering.

On top of having a totally unique party – here are some more suggestions based on the theme that you have chosen!

BOTTLE INVITES: Why not invite your guests to the party by sending a message in a bottle? This will increase the excitement for the party before it even starts! (Included with the mystery packet are specially designed mailing labels for these invites!) You can find a link to the bottle invites here.

LEI’ING YOUR GUESTS:An inexpensive and fun way to really get your guests in the mood. Simply have your guests receive a lei at the entrance. This will ensure everyone has a “costume” – even those who didn’t weren’t planning on it!

LIMBO CONTEST: To keep the party going, you may want to have a limbo area.

DON’T FORGET YOUR OWN SUMMER FAVORITES: Break out your beach towels, lawn chairs, sand toys and Hawaiian shirts. The simplest things that you have can quickly be turned into tablecloths, serving dishes, backdrops and decorations!
