harry potter mystery party

Are you looking to host a Harry Potter mystery party? If so, then these murder mystery games may be just what you need: wizards, curses and magic!

Harry Potter mystery party

Strictly, these parties do not use the Harry Potter characters as they are protected by intellectual property and trademark law.

Instead, these party games all have a magical theme – one is set in a wizard’s school, and the others include magical elements.

So while you may not be able to use your favourite Harry Potter characters, you can still host a magical murder mystery party to remember.

Spellbound is for 13-17 guests (plus one or two hosts).
