From ancient Greece to the 1970s

A historical murder mystery comes with the best costume brief there is. Your guests could be gamblers in a Wild West saloon, gangsters in a 1928 speakeasy or partygoers on the slopes of Mount Olympus. Each story gives you a period to dress for, a suspect to play and a case to solve together.
