I am wanting to host a murder mystery party for my 18th birthday but want it to be kids appropriate for my 14 year old sibling and I don't know which place to buy from?

I want one where there are clues around the house and it has complex murder and other side quests. I was hoping it would be similar to the party in Kill Joy by: Holly Jackson.



Sounds interesting, but I'm not familiar with Kill Joy.

If you want a complex murder mystery with lots of side plots that is as much fun for you as for your younger sibling, I suggest you look at games like Hollywood Lies (disclaimer - written by me!), or Murder on the Istanbul Express.

The suggested age for these is 12+, but they're written so adults can enjoy them. (The age just reflects whether the games contain things like drugs or affairs.)
