How to Set Up & Run

Everything you need to know to open, print, and host with confidence.

What do I need to print?

Just a standard home printer and regular letter paper. Your files are standard PDFs — open them with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, or any PDF app already on your phone, tablet, or computer. No special software needed. Prefer not to print at home? Any local copy shop can do it for you.

How do I get help?

We are here for you 7 days a week. If your download link does not work or you have a question while you plan, just reach out and we will help you get set up.

How much will this cost me?

Hosting a murder mystery can add up fast: a hosted event where a company brings actors to you usually runs about $20 to $50 per person, and ticketed dinner-theater shows often run $50 to $100 or more per person. A printable game like ours keeps it far lower — our mysteries run about $10 to $29 for your whole group, a one-time cost that usually works out to around $2 per person or less. That is the only thing you have to buy; snacks, drinks, costumes, and décor are all optional and up to you.

Quick‑Launch Tips for Your Y2K Party

Set the Mood Lighting
Plug in a lava lamp, scatter glow sticks in mason jars, and turn on a screensaver of flying DVD logos.
Throwback Dress Code
Invite guests to rock Juicy tracksuits, low‑rise jeans, band tees, frosted tips, butterfly clips, and anything bedazzled.
Instant AIM Handle Badges
Write funny “screen names” on Avery name tags—perfect ice‑breaker while they play the Y2K Find‑Your‑Match Game.
Snack Like It’s 2002
Stock up on Dunkaroos, Gushers, Pizza Rolls, Bagel Bites, and Surge or Capri‑Sun pouches in a neon cooler.
MySpace‑Style Photo Booth
Hang a glittery backdrop and a giant cut‑out frame that says “TOP 8”—watch the selfies fly.
Blast the TRL Playlist
Queue Britney, NSYNC, Destiny’s Child, OutKast, Avril, and early 50 Cent. Finish with “Since U Been Gone” for a sing‑along.
Retro Tech Decor
Display old flip phones, iPods, Game Boys, and AOL CDs as table scatter—bonus points if they still light up.
Signature ‘Dial‑Up’ Drink
Serve layered blue and green punch in plastic martini glasses; add Pop Rocks on the rim for a fizzy “connecting…” effect.
Five‑Minute Ice‑Breaker
Kick off with the Y2K Find‑Your‑Match Game—gets 8–40 guests mingling before the first track hits the chorus.
Party Favors
Send friends home with Ring Pops or mini Tamagotchi keychains—they’ll thank you on your Friendster page (or at least in tomorrow’s group chat).

Print these tips, press play, and let the flip‑phone nostalgia roll!

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast do I receive my download?

Immediately after checkout. Your links appear on the confirmation page and arrive by email. If you don’t see the email, check spam or contact support.

How do I print at home?

Open your files in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free). In the print dialog set Scale to Actual Size (100%). Standard copy paper works for character sheets — use heavier stock for covers or signs if you want richer results.

Can I print at a local shop?

Yes. Save your files to a USB or cloud link and ask staff to print at Actual Size. Most hosts use standard copy paper for character sheets and heavier stock for signs.

Can I customize the files?

Files are ready-to-print and not editable. If you need small changes — like different character names — write edits on the printouts or include a note in your invites.

Where do downloads save on my phone?

On iPhone, check the Files app. On Android, check Downloads. For best print results, open on a laptop or desktop.

What if I need help or my link doesn’t work?

We reply within 24 hours, weekends included. Email support@partykook.com with your order number. Because products are digital, all sales are final.

Can I share photos from our party?

Please do — tag us @HostPartyKook. No spoilers though!
