A Parent's Guide to Murder at the Pizzeria

Murder at the Pizzeria is our most popular game for teen and tween parties. Maybe it's the characters, maybe it's the puns, maybe it's the pizza - whatever the reason, they seem to like it.

That said, we didn't write Murder at the Pizzeria specifically for kids: it's a grown-up murder mystery with grown-up suspects and that means it may not be suitable for everyone. In particular, if you're throwing a teen or tween birthday party, it's not just your own kids you need to worry about. You need to make sure other parents are equally happy with the game so you don't get any complaints!

With that in mind, we've put together this handy reference so you can see, at a glance, what the game contains so you can decide whether it's suitable for your teen or tween party!
