how to choose

I recommend that you choose a party game so you can more-or-less fill it.

The games generally play better if you have more people rather than less, so for example, if you had only 14 people for your party, I would choose The Final Curtain or Way out West rather than The Last Gasp or The Auction.

Murder mystery party games for conservative groups

These games are ideal for more conservative groups as they don't refer to drugs, and there are fewer shady characters than in the other games.

(Of course, I can't guarantee that someone won't find something offensive - these games include murder, after all. You know your guests and must use your judgement.)

The Final Curtain - Disaster strikes the Littledean Theatre Company in 1926. For 7 to 14 people.

Hollywood Lies - a modern-day murder mystery set in Tinseltown. For 16-32 guests, plus one host.

Way out West A Wild West murder mystery game for 10 to 24 guests, plus one host.
