Easy to host murder mystery games full of side quests, plot twists, and fun.

Inspired by the desire to get the friends off the screen and into the scene.

Killer Nights Club was created for the long, dark nights of winter. The kind that start at 6 pm, making you feel like you have only two choices: brain rot or sleep. Replace the sleepy nights with immersive, turnkey murder mysteries you can run at home. Our killer plots, vivid characters, and clear instructions take the guesswork out of hosting, so you can focus on connection, laughter, and a little friendly sabotage. We’re reviving the house party tradition—bringing people together to share stories, spill secrets, and revel in the macabre. Plus, our local, writer-driven events in Tofino & Ucluelet offer fresh, community-focused evenings that inspire you to host your own unforgettable night.

You’ve got questions,
we’ve got answers

  • Welcome to the Killer Nights murder mystery experience! Throughout the game, you will pretend to be your character in a fictional setting. There is no script - you decide who to talk to and when. Everyone is also trying to achieve their own goals. You also decide what you will tell them, and whether you will tell them the truth or not. Remember, that goes for everyone else in the game as well... 

  • Yes, our games all have a host who leads the evening and curates the ideal vibe.

    If you are considering purchasing a game, you should have someone in mind for the role who would enjoy organizing the friend group, ensuring the game is cast, and overseeing the plot to ensure it runs smoothly and on time.

  • When you play with us, you join the club of weirdos who dive into local legends, become addicted to true crime, and fall into rabbit holes of the current zeitgeist.

    We don’t write your average cookie-cutter murder mysteries, and we certainly dont use AI to do it.

    Our brains are always looking for different plotlines to write so that all our players have main-character energy.

  • We collaborate with local venues, both public and private, to make these events as on-theme as possible! Have a venue you think would host a great Killer Night? Connect with us to collaborate!

  • A typical Killer Nights Club game will run from 2 to 3 hours, starting with a clear beginning, clues in the middle, and a conclusion at the end, with time for accusations!
