Murder at Old King Cole's Coronation - FAMILY FRIENDLY (12-20 People) - Downloadable Murder Mystery Party Kit
Download and host your own murder mystery party.
Murder at Old King Cole's Coronation is our nursery rhyme/fairy tale themed murder mystery.
Mary who had a little lamb has been found dead at Old King Cole's Coronation! Can you solve the crime?
This Murder Mystery is family friendly as it does not contain adult themes, however does contain themes of death and murder. We would recommend that only mature children at least 10 and over are invited to play, but this is at the discretion of the host as every child is different. We find that very small children don't understand the concept of giving out their clues, but you could include them by giving them a different nursery rhyme to dress up as for fun, but not have them as part of the mystery. We have noted in the hosting document that there are 5 (out of 12) essential characters suitable for children and 7 (out of 8) non-essential characters. As our mysteries are aimed at adults, we do not recommend hosting a mystery for children only.
This Muder Mystery caters for 12-20 people and contains five male, eight female and seven gender neutral characters.
This Murder Mystery includes:
- Instructions on how to run the event
- A name tag template
- Character backstories and clues
- A suggested template with helpful information to send to guests
- The answers to the mystery (who the murderer was, why they did it, how they did it)
- Individual PDF's of Character Suspect Cards. Characters include the likes of Old King Cole, Humpty Dumpty, Rapunzel, Prince Charming, Big Bad Wolf, Little Red Riding Hood, Incy Wincy Spider, and many more.
Please note- there are two versions of this murder mystery, the standard version and a family friendly version. This is the family friendly version. As we have not been able to test out this murder mystery yet, we are selling it at a discounted rate until 31 July 2023.

FAQs
HOW DO THE MURDER MYSTERIES WORK?
Our murder mystery style is based on mixing and mingling. Upon purchase, the host receives a digital hosting kit that includes instructions and suspect cards. At least a week before the party, the host would allocate and send each participant a suspect card. Guests would then arrive at the party dressed up as that character. They would mix and mingle with everyone as their character (we include a simple backstory that guests can use and embellish at their will) and drop their individual clue (located on the suspect card) subtly into conversation. After 90 mins or so, everyone would gather round and have a guess of the following; murderer, motive and how the murder was committed.
WHAT DO I GET WHEN I PURCHASE AN ONLINE MURDER MYSTERY PARTY KIT?
When you purchase a murder mystery party kit you will receive a zipfile containing a PDF document which will include all the information you need to host the game, an invitation template and a nametag template. Your hosting file will include:
1. Instructions for how to host and run the party.
2. The scenario for the murder that needs to be solved.
3. Printable clues and backstory for each character.
4. Who committed the murder, how and why they did it
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
There is no set time to complete the murder mystery although we have found that it will take around two hours.
WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE CANCELS?
Ideally you would be able to replace the person who has cancelled with someone else. If it is not possible for you to find a replacement then you will need to read that persons character clue out at some stage during the night.
I'M NOT A GREAT ACTOR I'M WORRIED I WONT BE ABLE TO GET INTO CHARACTER
You don't have to be great at acting to participate in a murder mystery, anyone can do them. We have found that if people embrace their character by dressing up and arriving in character that the night is much more entertaining. We will provide a backstory for your character that you can use on the night to create conversation.
It is a chance for you to have some fun and can be a nice escape from your everyday life. The more you get into your character the more fun you will have on the night.
CAN I PARTICIPATE IF I AM HOSTING?
Yes, you can participate if you are hosting. If you want to participate then make sure you don't read the clues and backstory for each character. You can choose a character and only read about your own. For all other characters, fold them or put them in an envelope and give them to the participants.
ARE THESE MURDER MYSTERIES SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN?
The majority of our murder mysteries contain sexual references and are not suitable for children under the age of 18.
If the murder mystery is family friendly this is specified in the description of the mystery. The best mysteries we offer for families are the Christmas Murder Mystery and Murder at Old King Cole's Coronation (our nursery rhyme mystery). Please note that there are two versions of Murder at Old King Cole's Coronation, a family friendly version and a standard version.
ARE THESE MURDER MYSTERIES FUN?
We believe that our murder mysteries are good fun and we have received good feedback from participants about how much they have enjoyed their murder mystery night. We aim to make character storylines entertaining and have tried to use humor with regard to character names. Ultimately it is up to each group regarding how much fun they will have on the night. It is as fun as you make it.
