01

Choose a mystery and your event location

You can use our QR Codes and a little imagination to transform any event space into a fully immersive experience for your guests. Use one room or spread out to use as much space as you like. Your players will need access to WiFi and a phone to read the QR Codes.

02

Print the QR Codes

With every QR Mysteries purchase, you will receive Host Instructions and all the QR Codes for that specific mystery. Each QR Code contains multiple clues that players will use to solve riddles, puzzles and eventually to solve the murder! You will need to print these in advance of your event.

You will also receive Player Instructions and an Invitation Email that you can forward to all of your potential guests. The game needs 4 or more players but can handle 40+ so invite as many people as you want!

Set up your event location

After printing out the QR Codes, tape them in plain sight to various items around the room as instructed (think: picture frame, bookshelf, lamp, etc.)
