PLEASE NOTE WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED
These packets provide the murder mystery experience to pair with your own paint party or creative project.
They do NOT include:
- A painting, painting design, tracer or painting tutorial
- Art instruction
- Wardrobe or costume guides
- Decorating or room-setup guides
- Music or playlists
- Printable party invitations
- Extensive scripted dialogue for guests
Some mysteries include a suggested painting theme for inspiration, but you choose the actual painting or creative project you want to teach.
The character interaction is intentionally designed to be easy to manage during a creative event rather than a heavily scripted theatrical murder mystery. Guests receive character information and clues, answer questions, talk to one another, defend themselves, discuss the evidence and make their final accusation — all while participating in the creative project you're teaching.
🎨 The Poisoned Palette
An acclaimed artist is found dead just hours before her newest exhibition opens.
A missing sketchbook, a poisoned drink, and a room full of suspects quickly turn an evening of art into a race to uncover the truth.
Suggested painting theme: Artist's palette and paintbrushes.
🐦 The Midnight Gallery: The Raven's Secret
The unveiling of a legendary painting takes a deadly turn when celebrated artist Evelyn Blackwood is found dead in her private studio.
To make matters worse, her final masterpiece has vanished.
Suggested painting theme: A raven beneath a moonlit sky.
🚂 The Midnight Express
A luxury train carrying a group of distinguished passengers comes to an unexpected stop when one of its most important guests is found dead.
With nowhere to go and no one allowed to leave, every passenger becomes a suspect.
Suggested painting theme: A vintage train traveling through the night.
🎄 The Christmas Gala: The Missing Christmas Star
What should have been a magical evening filled with holiday traditions quickly becomes a mystery when the beloved organizer of the annual Christmas Gala is found dead and the treasured Christmas Star disappears.
Suggested painting theme: A beautifully decorated Christmas tree.
🦋 The Butterfly Conservatory: The Monarch's Secret
A celebrated conservationist is discovered dead inside her beautiful butterfly conservatory just moments before making a life-changing announcement.
As secrets begin to emerge, guests must determine who wanted to keep her final discovery hidden.
Suggested painting theme: A monarch butterfly surrounded by flowers.
YOU BRING THE ART. I GIVE YOU THE MYSTERY. 🔎
Choose the painting or creative project you already love teaching.
Then use the included story, characters, clues, host scripts, detective materials and timeline to turn it into something completely different.
No writing the mystery. No figuring out clues. No building a storyline from scratch.
Print your mystery materials, prepare the creative project of your choice, and you're ready to host your own Murder & Masterpieces event.
