Welcome to the Murder Mystery Character Selector. It’s just a bit of fun, so don’t stress it!

You can pick a character that sounds fun to you and totally make it your own the names, the outfits, the vibes? They’re just for inspiration, not rules. Rock what you want, remix the look, and channel your inner 80s – DJ, aerobics queen, or undercover agent.

You don’t have to dress like the card says.
You don’t even have to play.. but like, you totally should.

All the mystery madness will be revealed on the night, so no spoilers here.. just vibes and potential alibis.

Don’t want to play a character? No worries. But seriously…
join in, it’ll be rad.
