A Vintage to Die For

Interactive murder-mystery party game · sold via Etsy

A cinematic host console and guest companion where no player can find the answer early.

Hosts redeem an estate key, send invitations, cast nine guests, run the night from a live console and stage the reveal, while guests follow along on their phones.

The problem

What needed solving

A murder mystery lives or dies on secrecy. Guests' phones need live updates, but anything sent to a phone can be inspected, and a single leaked solution ruins the night.

The solution

What we built

A host application, a companion for guests' phones and a printable kit, all produced from one product.

Core functionality

  • Estate-key redemption for buyers
  • Invitations and casting for nine guests
  • Live host console and a staged reveal
  • Guest companion on phones, updated live
  • Four different solutions, tracked per host
  • Printable booklets, clue cards and host guide

    Every build is checked for solution text before it ships.

What sets it apart

Why it works

  1. 01

    Secrets stay secret

    Phones only ever receive the current act, never the answer, so a curious guest has nothing to find.

  2. 02

    Checked before every release

    An automated check blocks any release that would let solution text reach a guest's phone.

  3. 03

    Replayable

    Four valid solutions, with the app remembering which ones each host has already played.
