Host a murder mystery party and you're sure to have guest flocking to your home to help solve the whodunnit crime. A murder mystery themed party is a blast to host and participate in.
I'm sure you can probably make up your own murder mystery game but it didn't work so well for Ted Bundy so your best bet is to purchase a murder mystery game either online or at your local gaming store. Read the back of the game for the details and select one which has an appropriate suggested solving time. You might not want a weekend full of murder and detectives.
All murder mystery games will have a host kit which includes invitations, suggested party attire, and other tips for setting the right stage for the murder. Read the murder mystery host kit well but, remember, this is only a guide. Feel free to add any additional little touches to your mystery party.
Each murder mystery game will come with its own party invitations so send these out to your detective guests at least 2 weeks before the party starts. Ask for an RSVP of at least 1 week so that you can fill in with other guests as needed. As an alternative, consider sending out evites online which will give you almost instant feedback as guests can reply quicker.
Most of the mystery games have some prep work for the hostess which includes preparing the clues for the appropriate number of guests. Get yourself in the right frame of mind by doing this in front of a tv tuned to Perry Mason.
Dim the lights, add some battery operated candles (for safety) and play some intriguing music in the background to get your detectives in the mood to solve the mystery. Invite your guests into the right atmosphere for murder.....(insert evil laugh).
A murder mystery party is a blast to break the ice if you have guests who you'd like to introduce to each other.
Nice list! I've always wanted to attend a murder mystery party! Sounds like fun.
