How Our Kit Customizations Work: Personalizing Your Murder Mystery

When you purchase one of our murder mystery kits, we want to ensure that your event is as unique and engaging as possible. That's why we offer a customization process that allows you to tailor certain aspects of the story. Customising your kit takes 5 minutes, once you fill out the customization form, your kit automatically embeds these customisations throughout the character profiles, pre & post-murder objectives and speeches. Here's a step-by-step guide on how our customization process works:

1. Receive Your Purchase Confirmation Email

After your purchase, you'll receive an email titled "Thank you for your purchase." This email contains a link to the customization portal and detailed steps on how to get started. We recommend going through these steps carefully to make the most out of your customization options.

2. Read the host guide

Read the host guide thoroughly before hosting your murder mystery night. The guide provides crucial information on what to expect during the event and how to best assign roles to your guests.

3. Invite Your Guests and Gather RSVPs

Before diving into the customization details, invite your guests and gather RSVPs. This step is essential because once your customizations are submitted, your kit will be automatically created, making it challenging to change details afterward.

4. Assign Characters Thoughtfully

Next, read the character assignment guide relevant to your kit. This guide helps you assign characters to your guests thoughtfully. Some characters have complex relationships or specific roles that may involve speeches or impromptu dances. Ensure that your guests are comfortable with their assigned characters, especially for roles requiring more interaction or performance.

5. Get Customizing!

The customizations you can make are small in nature but impactful enough to shape the narrative and conversations during the event. Here are some examples of what you can customize:
  • Where a character is moving to: Add a fun twist by choosing a quirky destination, like a reality TV show.
  • How two characters met: This can be anything from a mundane setting to something unique like a fan club.
  • A character’s prior occupation: Have fun with this one! Think outside the box.
  • Where a character studied: This can add a layer of background to your characters.
  • Favorite musician or song: A small detail that can lead to entertaining discussions.
Some of the best customizations we've seen include:
  • A character moving to the reality TV show "Too Hot To Handle."
  • Two characters meeting at a "Game Of Thrones Fan Club."
  • A character's prior occupation as a "Dallas Cheerleader."
  • A character studying at "Harvard University."
  • Two characters bonding over their joint love for "Crazy Frog."

6. Finalizing and Accessing Your Customized Kit

Once you've completed your customizations, your unique murder mystery kit will be automatically created. You'll receive a Google Drive link to access all your documents, ready to print and use at your event. With these customizations, you can create a memorable and personalized experience for your guests, ensuring everyone has a fantastic time solving the mystery. Happy hosting!
