This is the unglamorous half of hosting — the part nobody posts about. Who said yes, what it’s costing you, what’s going in the oven and when, and which four things still aren’t done at six o’clock.
The PartyKook Printable Party Planner is one editable file covering all of it: an event overview and mood board, a guest list and RSVP tracker, a budget and expense planner, a menu and drinks organizer, day-before and day-of checklists, and a timeline with key contacts.
It works for any party, not just ours. But if you’re running one of our mysteries, this is what keeps the rest of the night from turning into your problem while everyone else is having fun.
Instant download. Print it, fill it in, or edit it on screen — whichever way you actually think.
PartyKook makes hosting easy with printable party kits, murder mystery game kits, and décor scene sets. Download, print, and play—each product includes a host guide, roles, and themed props for fast, stress-free setup. Explore Western rodeos, Y2K prom, medieval fantasy, trailer park chaos, and more. Perfect for birthdays, team events, classrooms, and family game nights. Instant download, clear instructions, big laughs.
No. There are no scripts and no lines to learn. Each guest gets a character sheet with who they are, what they want and what they’re hiding, and then they just talk to people. If your friends can gossip, they can play this.
Every game is built with a guest range rather than a fixed number, and the host guide explains how to drop or double up a character without breaking the mystery. Somebody always cancels. It’s fine.
The morning of, honestly. Everything is an instant download, so you’ll have the files the second you check out, and the host guide tells you exactly what to print and in what order.
Recommended ages vary by game and each product page says which, running from 14+ up to 20+. There is a kids’ mystery in the range too. If you are planning for a library, a school group or a mixed-age crowd, check the rating before you buy.
