About The Creators

Hello fellow mystery enthusiasts! We are Katie and Mike Gorham. We have been married for 5 years and have 2 adorably chunky cats named Axl and Rose. While Mike will be mentioned and quoted, and his opinions part of all reviews, Katie, who has a love of writing, will be the main author of each segment.

We bonded over a love of travel, history, and a thirst for knowledge. We craved to see the world and we’ve been slowly working towards that goal as we have checked off 4 countries to date with a 5th coming this fall!

We love trivia and game nights and we love a good mystery that makes us think. We started our journey into the world of murder mysteries and escape rooms by attending them live and in person. We quickly fell in love with both. We wanted to do these activities with our larger group of friends and that is how Prepare To Die Mysteries was born. (The Princess Bride is a special movie for us as we watched it together on our first date and continue that tradition every year on the anniversary of that night.)

We began hosting local murder mystery dinners and striving to make them as challenging and fun as we could! Organizing events is a big undertaking that we can’t manage to do as often as we like and there is where our descent into box games was born. Murder Mystery or Escape Room style we quickly found we had so many options to create a fun and engaging night in with each other. 

With so many options out there the selections were endless and we quickly realized we didn’t see a platform that had content from real players of these games reviewing them and we knew we wanted to create it. The blog section of this website will showcase several different mystery box games and provide a spoiler free and honest review. 

We thank you so much for taking the time to check out our content!!! 

If there is a box you’d like to see us review, please reach out using our Contact Us form and we would love to consider your suggestions! We want to make this a place where like minded gamers can come and find the best game suited for what they are looking to play!
