Questions

When should I send murder mystery invitations?

Two to three weeks before the party for a weekend date, and up to a month ahead around the holidays. Characters and costume ideas can follow about a week before.

Should the invitation say it's a murder mystery?

Yes. Guests enjoy it more when they know to expect a game, a character and a little dressing up. Keep the details of the crime a surprise.

Does Killer Cast send invitations for me?

Every guest gets a private invite page with their character, costume ideas and the party details. You share the links however you like: text, email or group chat.
