WHo Will You be playing?
In a Baker Street Mystery murder mystery party, there are no actors—you and your guests take on the roles of suspects, sleuths, and secret-keepers. Each person receives a unique character with a backstory, hidden objectives, and relationships to uncover throughout the evening. Whether you’re the psychic leading the séance or the maid with something to hide, everyone plays a vital role in solving the case. Here are a few of the characters in the story.`
Each role includes:
- A secret-filled backstory
- Private objectives to achieve
- Known relationships (some friendly, some suspicious)
- Interactive gameplay elements like money for bribes, blackmail materials, and evidence to uncover
Riley Rich
Wealthy mansion owner and host
Known for hosting the most exclusive events in town, Riley has a way of pulling people’s strings. Tonight’s séance may be their most controversial gathering yet.
FLORA SWEEP
Meticulous, secretive maid
Diligent and often overlooked, Flora keeps the mansion running smoothly. But don’t let her quiet demeanor fool you—she sees and hears far more than anyone suspects.
CLAIRE VOYANT
Renowned medium
Famed psychic and tonight’s host of the séance, Claire’s reputation precedes her. Her readings are legendary… and sometimes dangerously accurate.
MISSY TRIAL
A sharp-tongued lawyer
Ruthlessly sharp and always in control, Missy has represented nearly everyone in the room at one point or another—and may be holding a few confidential truths no one wants revealed.
NICK LEDGER
Calculating accountant
Numbers don’t lie, but Nick might. Tasked with keeping the Rich family’s wealth intact, he knows exactly where the money flows—and where it vanishes.
PHIL ABUSTER
Politician in search of votes
A glad-handing local politician with aspirations that extend beyond city limits. Phil’s campaign is all about transparency—yet his pockets may say otherwise.
Penny Dreadful
A socialite with a dark past
With a laugh as loud as her jewelry and secrets buried deeper than her designer handbag, Penny attends every elite event… but is always chasing something—or someone.
Andy Rich
Entitled heir proving something
Riley’s only child, Andy is charming, reckless, and dangerously bored. Heir to the estate and its problems, Andy hides bitterness behind a smirk.
Mysti Cal
A new-age psychic with unspoken visions
A star in the world of spiritual guidance, Mysti was not invited—she showed up anyway. Mysti claims to channel the truth, but whose truth is she really sharing?

Frequently Asked Questions
How do the murder mysteries work?
When the event begins, each person is assigned a unique character with a backstory, secret objectives, and relationships to explore. As the evening unfolds, a murder is revealed, and guests must investigate by mingling, exchanging information, and using tools like bribery or blackmail to uncover clues.
There are no scripts—just improv-style roleplay, hidden motives, and lots of surprises. You’ll work toward your own goals while trying to solve the central mystery. At the end of the game, everyone votes on who they believe the killer is… and the truth is dramatically revealed.

Do I need acting skills?
No acting experience is necessary. Our murder mystery parties are designed for everyone, regardless of their acting abilities. Just come with a willingness to immerse yourself in the character and have fun. Participants are assigned characters to play. This interactive approach allows attendees to fully immerse themselves in the experience and engage with other participants as they work together to solve the murder.

How long do the murder mysteries last?
Our murder mystery parties typically last 1.5-2 hours depending on group size
How are Baker Street Mystery parties different from a boxed kit online?
Unlike boxed murder mystery kits where players read from scripts and follow preset dialogue, Baker Street Mystery events are fully guest-driven and improvisational. You won’t find corny lines or forced scenes—each guest brings their character to life through organic interactions, secret objectives, and real-time choices. Our format encourages collaboration, intrigue, and spontaneity, making every game night feel fresh, personalized, and deeply immersive. No two parties play out the same way—because the mystery evolves with your group.
