Group size is the fastest way to tell these 2 formats apart. A MortalCase Murder Mystery Party needs 8–20 cast guests and 2.5–3 hours of everyone's evening; a printable mini case works for one person or a table of friends who would rather argue about clues than wear a costume. Read this before you buy, and you'll know which format your group will thank you for, and which one would quietly turn into work.
The quiet guest is the real test. In an escape room she can end up watching the confident ones try codes; in a MortalCase Murder Mystery Party she gets a private role, information nobody else has, and 2.5–3 hours to use it however she likes. This guide gets you to a decision by looking at group size, the kind of pressure your friends enjoy, and who ends up doing the work.
Nobody wants a mystery their friends solve in 20 minutes, and a MortalCase case is built to hold out against a quick answer while giving way to a room that compares notes. The result depends less on how clever your friends are than on how much they talk to each other. Here's what the challenge is made of, what to do when the room stalls, why the killer has no head start, and why a wrong vote still counts as a good night.
You can sort and release every piece of evidence while staying as much in the dark as your guests. The whole sort runs on one question, which event releases this, so you never have to ask what a clue proves. Give the released clues one public table, keep the protected documents closed, and know what to do when the room walks past something important. You finish with a setup that protects the Reveal and lets you investigate alongside your guests.
