Murder Mystery Party in Dublin

A murder mystery party in Dublin needs a room, a date and a printer, and that is genuinely the whole list. Nothing is posted, the files print on A4 at native size, and the price is the same whether six or twelve people turn up. Because the purchase is a digital file bought from outside the European Union, it is worth being clear about the consumer rights that apply at checkout. Here is the practical picture.

Murder Mystery Party in Dublin

A big table, and the 1920s casino

House parties in Dublin tend to be larger than the table allows, which suits a kit: they run from six to twelve players plus a host who does not play, at $39.90 whatever the head count. Murder at the Royal Casino handles a full table well, because all twelve characters carry a debt to the same man. Paris, the Casino Royal, the night of 18 to 19 November 1927: the baron raises his flute at 22:45 and collapses an hour later, and nobody else at his table fell ill. Fifty pages, twenty-four exhibits, three acts. The four kits are on the murder mystery kits page.

A cape, two clocks and a bracelet

What makes that file work at a loud table is that its evidence is physical and easy to argue about. A cape worn by someone other than its owner. Two clocks that do not give the same time. A bracelet that proves a visit without proving an act. Twelve people can hold those three facts in their heads while eating, which matters when the room is noisy. The exhibits release at minutes 20, 40, 60, 75, 90, 110, 120 and 130, so the host paces the evening by the clock rather than by feel.

Printing on A4, and nothing in the post

The files are composed for A4 at 100 percent, single-sided, so an Irish printer or print shop needs no scaling. Colour renders the photographed documents better; black and white stays legible, since no deduction depends on a shade. Nothing is shipped. Payment is by card, an email arrives with a personal code in the format BW followed by seven unambiguous characters, and you download the PDF from the case file portal. There is no customs step and no delivery window, which is why a party can be decided three days ahead.

Your rights on a digital purchase

An EU consumer has a statutory fourteen-day right of withdrawal on distance purchases. For digital content not supplied on a physical medium, that right ends once delivery begins with your prior express consent and your acknowledgment that you lose it, which you give when you place the order. The file is delivered immediately afterwards. In practice: before the file has been delivered you can withdraw by emailing with your order number. The full terms, in plain language, are on the refund policy page. Nothing here limits any mandatory consumer protection right you hold locally.

The week that starts when you open it

The personal code waits indefinitely until you first use it. From that first opening it stays valid one week, not one week from the purchase, so buying a month before the party costs you nothing. Four doors close together at expiry: entering the code, the page itself, the download and the answers. Inside that week the host reaches the guide and the reveal, which are not in the printed file. A safety exit opens after three wrong answers, so a customer who paid is never kept from their solution.

Frequently asked questions

Is anything delivered to an Irish address?+
No, nothing is shipped. After payment an email brings a personal code, you enter it on the portal and download the PDF. There is no customs step, no postage and no delivery window to plan around.
Can I cancel a digital purchase as an EU consumer?+
The statutory fourteen-day right of withdrawal ends once delivery of digital content begins with your express consent, which you give at the order. Before the file is delivered you can withdraw by email with your order number.
Do the files print properly on A4?+
Yes, A4 is the native size: single-sided at 100 percent, no scaling. A kit is fifty or fifty-six pages, of which you print the notice, two pages per character dealt and all the exhibits.
