Client Reviews
“Nicole did a masterful job designing a murder mystery party for us! She created an “academia” themed game, which was perfect for our lab team. We would recommend Nicole anytime, but especially if you want a creative and personal touch! Thanks again!!!”
— Matthew (former client)
“I’ve played so many Mysteries & Mayhem RPGs and I’ve loved them all. They're all so clever and well-thought out. As a grad student, the lab murder mystery party was exciting, fun, and hit close to home!”
— Cecile (live event participant)
“Wow…I had never done anything role-playing before… Nicole had facilitated a 20’s mafia murder mystery where I only knew four people and she made it so fun that I came to the next one she made about our life (academic research lab drama)! I had an absolute blast and she is so creative! There were about 14 of us and it was a great way to get to know each other. I highly recommend getting Nicole to create a murder mystery plot for your next party that you don’t know what to do for! It is so fun to see everyone’s silly side, and her plots easily pull it out of everyone.”
— Jordan (former live event participant & party host)

Our Story
What began as a pandemic hobby of DMing turned into Mysteries & Mayhem Games, a venture born from my love of creating shared stories. I found joy turning gatherings into immersive adventures, from custom D&D quests to specialized murder mystery parties. I aim to build experiences that give people something better than a party: memories they’ll talk about for years.
A scientist by day, I spend my evenings and weekends reading, creating anything from stories to cheesecakes, and playing games.
