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.
Only way to do a murder mystery party!
This app takes all the stress out of planning a murder mystery party! I would highly recommend 👏🏻
Amazing!
I was super unsure about a party like this, being an introvert and all, but I had so much fun! StoryPop made it really easy to follow and created the fun! I can’t wait to do another party! I can’t say enough great things about it!
Sooo much fun
I love how easy it was to put together a themed party and everyone had a blast
Amazing gaming experience
StoryPop game night really opened my eyes to the a new gaming experience for me. It was a puzzle and roll playing game all in one. Having the directions and rules/clues within the app made it so easy to play and everything was laid out so nicely! It was all around incredible and would recommend to all my friends for their game night festivities!

Minimum effort, maximum return
A puzzle and a game and a hilarious time all rolled in to one—it’s so helpful to have story, characters, action all laid out. All you have to do is bring the friends and the food! Ingenious.
StoryPop
This is a really fun and interesting game to play with family and friends! It allows you to roll play, which can and will spark your imagination!
Best game night ever!
We threw a StoryPop party with our neighbors, many of whom we had only hung out with once before. It was an absolute blast, we were all laughing, scheming, and having a wonderful time right from the start! I didn’t know what to expect at first, but within minutes I was fully committed to my role. It was SO much fun!!!
At the reveal of our game outcome, all of our jaws hit the floor. Such a fun surprise! It was especially cool that we could tell how choices each of us made at one point in the game significantly impacted the specific outcome we got. That was one of my favorite parts - it was more unique than an escape room or other murder mystery where the outcome is more “pass/fail”.
We hung out in our costumes for awhile after the game and couldn’t stop talking about it- suddenly our neighbors and friends felt like we were all close friends who had known each other much longer!
THEN, the next day, I found myself wanting to play again and again. I spent most of the day wishing we were playing another Story! I especially can’t wait for stories that can be fun for our whole family to play together! Crossing my fingers for that!!
All in all, it’s amazing. Perfect for friends who know each other well or not, different age ranges, different “acting” skills, very detailed party or quick get together - it’s great for lots of different people and settings. Seriously cannot wait to have another StoryPop party!
