History of murder mystery parties.

Murder mystery productions became popular in the late 1800s, fueled by authors like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Allen Poe. Detective fiction exploded in the 1920s, with authors such as Agatha Christie driving enthusiasm for the genre.

Murder mystery parties became popular during this period, and when the board game Clue was released in North America in 1949, fans became even more obsessed with solving the whodunit mystery.
