Don’t Break Character.
The magic of a Standing Ovation murder mystery comes alive when everyone leans into their role. Each theme on our site includes a cast of unique, fully developed roles for participants to choose from. Every character has their own archetype, attributes, secrets, motives, quirks, and hidden agendas, giving you everything you need to step into the world and shape the unfolding story.
Prefer to create your own character? We built something just for that.
Our Character Creator lets you design a role from scratch—personality, background, strengths, flaws, and even custom stat blocks to help you stay in character. Bring your creation into any of our themed mysteries, or build an entire cast and we’ll build the story around you. If your whole group wants to craft their own characters, we’ll take every role you create and design a fully original, one-of-a-kind mystery tailored to your cast. No two groups ever get the same story.
