Murder at the Reunion

Ten years on, the class of the big-hair decade is back in the gym — same grudges, same secrets, one prom queen who never made it to the reunion photo.

The setup

The decorations are up, the punch is spiked (again), and everyone's pretending the last decade never happened. Then the reunion takes a turn nobody put in the yearbook. Old rivalries, buried scandals, and three rounds of clues and scripted reveals give your guests a fair shot at naming the killer — fair because this kit was cold-solved twice and adversarially tested before it was allowed on sale. The evergreen anchor of the catalog: reunions, milestone birthdays, and any excuse to break out the shoulder pads, in any month of the year.

Content note (PG-13): the story involves a wrongful expulsion, a spiked punch, and prescription medication as plot elements. Nothing graphic and no gore — the tone stays playful, all old grudges and big hair.

Full Cast adds optional expansion characters — if some don't show up, the plot still works; their absence never breaks the mystery. Not sure of your headcount? Full Cast covers every group the Standard does, plus six more.

Cold-solved twice, guaranteed fair. Two independent solvers worked this kit from the clues alone and reached the same culprit, and an adversarial pass tried to convict the strongest innocent and failed — all on the exact text that ships. And if a verified logic error ever surfaces, you get a refund or replacement and the kit is pulled and fixed for every buyer. How delivery and printing work →
