The Murder Club

A murder mystery is a story
you walk into.

Est. 2026 · Written by hosts

Deadly Social writes complete party kits for people who love a dining table more than a conference call. Every kit is a boxed evening: a full host script, character booklets with secrets printed in three acts, physical clues to hide around the house, and the solution sealed shut in the back.

You do not need to be an actor. You need a table, eight to twenty people, and roughly three hours. The script carries the introductions, the murder lands on cue, and the accusation round gives even the shyest guest a reason to speak. We have written twelve evenings so far — a speakeasy, a yacht, a country house, a train — and each one is playable in one sitting with no preparation beyond the shopping.

The Story

One evening, in four acts.

Every Deadly Social kit follows the same rhythm, so the host always knows where they are and the guests never do.

IThe first twenty minutes

The Arrival

Guests are greeted by name — not their own. Drinks are poured, invitations are checked, and the first small scandal lands before anyone has finished their glass.

IIThe next forty-five

The Plot

Character booklets open one act at a time. Secrets surface with them, and everyone discovers that the person they trust least was seated next to them on purpose.

IIIOver dinner

The Body

The murder happens on cue, exactly as the script says. Physical clues are distributed by the host so that every table is holding a different piece of the truth.

IVThe last hour

The Accusation

Alibis are cross-examined and alliances fall apart. The solution is read aloud, the culprit confesses, and the evening ends with someone insisting they had it right all along.

The Cast

Every guest gets
a secret.

Characters are written to be played, not performed. Each booklet opens one act at a time and hands its owner exactly enough trouble to enjoy. Here are four from Last Call at the Vesper.

Meet the full cast

The chanteuse

Vera Sloane

Sings like a knife in velvet. Owes the club more than money.

The bootlegger

Teddy Marsh

Smiles at everyone. Keeps a list of who smiled back.

The proprietor

Agnes Voss

Built the Vesper out of a florist's back room and a grudge.

The critic

Julian Pike

Reviews the club by night and the police by morning.

Clues

The Host’s Guide

“The best compliment we get is that nobody noticed the script.”

Shopping lists, seating plots, timings for each act, and what to say if the table works it out early. Written for first-time hosts and second-time show-offs.
