Murder at the Beauty Pageant (12-20 People) - Downloadable Murder Mystery Party Kit
Download and host your own murder mystery party.
It's the 87th annual Miss New Zealand pageant and one of the contestants has been found dead. The backstage doors are sealed shut by the Police and everyone is suspected of murder. Can you solve the crime?
This mystery is perfect for hens parties and ladies nights. This mystery contains some sexual references and rude names, and as such we do not recommend it for children.
Sometimes a hens party calls for a stripper or topless waiter, so if you were wanting to do this, you could have them act as the police at the start of your evening and lock everyone in your venue.
In case you have a few gentlemen in your lives who wish to participate also, we have incorporated 5 gender neutral characters.
This Murder Mystery includes:
- Instructions on how to run the event via a Hosting document (please read this first)
- Character backstories and clues for 12-20 people (included in the zipfile on purchase are individual suspect cards for each person, as well as included in the hosting document)
- The answers to the mystery (who the murderer was, why they did it, how they did it)
- A name tag template
- A template with suggested wording for sending out to your guests
Characters include - Judges, MC, Mothers, Stylist, Fitness trainer, Miss NZ contestants from across the country.

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.
