It’s ok
We used Story Pop for a murder mystery night and overall it was just okay—not what we expected for the price. The game doesn’t explain the phases very well, and the flow felt confusing. You’re suddenly pushed into random conversations without clear instructions on how you got there or how they connect. It would’ve helped a lot if there were guided prompts or clearer ways to respond to conversations that the game itself starts.
The biggest letdown was the murder itself. It felt anticlimactic and rushed. I really think the murder should have been a hidden task, with a dramatic reveal or scene when it happened. Instead, it was very underwhelming and removed a lot of the excitement and suspense you’d expect from a murder mystery.
Overall, the game felt too fast and a bit boring. For $50, it just wasn’t worth the money. It has potential, but it definitely needs better structure, clearer instructions, and a more engaging storyline to justify the cost.

Story pop is a blast
We had so much fun hosting a story pop game night. It was easy to setup up as the host and invite our friends and family to play. It’s fun to have both a digital and in person gaming experience at once. I liked having all the information about my character and objectives on my phone and accessible. Can’t wait to play again.

Not a game person
I’m not good at murder mystery’s but this was easy to setup and get your roles for everyone coming. Also gave you hints and ways to ask or say in between rounds. Would be nice if they let you skip to next rounds/steps. Did have a cool way to let people bring treats and snacks
This is the future of murder mystery parties
This is the way to do it. The host fully participates and doesn’t have things spoiled. It runs on time and how it should.
The old way is a thing of the past.

Family fun night
It was a very fun evening for our family and extended family to enjoy some role-play where I was absolutely the coolest character there.
