How it works
Cloak and Dagger Mysteries is dedicated to helping clients throw amazing murder mystery parties that their guests will never forget! By removing the stress of planning, coordinating, and preparation, we allow hosts participate and enjoy themselves just as much as their guests! We offer the most immersive and interactive mysteries, assigning each guest a unique character with a backstory and a costume suggestion allowing them to arrive fully in character and ready for sleuthing. Forget the old boxed murder mystery games where everyone sits at a table and awkwardly reads from a script. Our mysteries allow guests to mingle and complete unique character goals in order to find clues and evidence for their own investigations.

The fun begins
Choose a few dates and murder mystery theme
You provide us a few possible dates, a list of invitees, and the desired mystery theme. We have several fun and engaging mysteries to choose from. Using the list of names provided, we will contact your potential guests and coordinate a time for a party. Then we will send each guest a "Save the Date" notification.

Let's get this party started!
We send out the invitations
As the party gets nearer, we will send out the invitations and provide a means to RSVP. When guests RSVP we will gather some basic information about them, including their gender and approximate ages, or if they are on a little more on the shy side, in order to assist with casting.

Casting
We assign the characters
Once everyone has RSVP'd, it's time for character assignment! Each of your guests will be a unique character in the story! They will receive character sheets with information about their character, along with recommendations on how to dress the part. Here is when the anticipation begins!

Party time
You host the party
Our team will provide the host with everything needed to facilitate the event, including easy-to-undertstand instructions, character goals, and of course the evidence! The guests will show up in costume and in character for a memorable night of sleuthing.
What our clients
are saying
Frequently asked questions
Do I need acting skills?
No! As the host you just need to create a welcoming environment. Everyone is in the same boat here, and that's part of what makes it fun. Who doesn't like a costume party?
What if my guests don't know what to say?
Each guest will receive a character sheet with suggestions on things to say and do. All the guests need to do is complete the objectives listed on their goal sheet.
How long do the parties take?
Usually 2-3 hours is enough time for everyone to complete their goals and for the mystery to be solved.
Do you guys do custom parties?
We do custom parties where we show up and host the party for you. We are mostly limited to locations in Southern California, but contact us and let's see!
Does the host know who the murderer is?
The host can play without knowing who the murderer is.
What if some of my guests are shy?
When cast we take into account who is more or less outgoing. There are many characters for whom it is easy to blend into the background.
