The first time I ever went to a murderous mystery night, it was at a corporate event. We all received our characters and outline of the story in the mail a few weeks earlier. This was so we all had time to find an appropriate party costume, party props and prepare to play our character..
There are mysteries to suit all ages, so you can use them for both
kids Mystery Parties
and adult parties. Don't worry if you haven't got time to wait for a boxed kit to arrive, they are usually delivered next business day, depending on where you get them from, however some are also down loadable.
Tips On Hosting
A Murder Mystery Game
Consider games with themes that suit your guestsChoose an appropriate game to suit the age range of your guests, both kids and adult versions are available. Also look at the breakdown of male to female guest and consider where the story line set, Chicago gangsters or girlie day spa?
Look for the more non scripted gamesIdeally find a game which allows your guests to be creative and use their imagination. The more that they immense themselves into the game the more fun they and everyone else will have. And don't worry about the shy types, give them an appropriate role and before you know it they will be out of their shells joining in. One thing about murder mystery, if it's done well your guests can't help but to get into character.
Make sure the game is easy to hostCheck out the instructions and needs of the game before you buy it. The story line needs to make sense to you and have clear instructions for you to follow. Some also have web sites for additional tips and ideas.
Keep the catering simple, the focus should be on the gameMurder mystery parties can be like dinner theater, but if you are catering yourself, don't make it too complicated. You want to enjoy being your own character and not worrying about how the food tastes. When I run a murder mystery night I usually get my guests to bring a plate of finger food each, and whatever they want to drink. Paper plates is also a good idea too, less worry and hassle for me and much easier to clean up. I have heard of people hosting a murder mystery at a private room in a restaurant. It may be more expensive, but takes away the hassle of food and clean up.
Allow plenty of time to plan the partyIdeally a month but no less than 2 weeks is recommended. Again, the more time you have to plan and know who is a definite party guest, the easier and stress free your party will be. Remember also that deepening on where your box game is coming from, you will need time for it to arrive and for you to get your invitations out. Often the invitations can be emailed which can save time. Check for this in the kit that you choose.
Make sure the venue is appropriateI suppose it all depends on the number of guest and size of the game. obviously the larger the guest list the more space is needed. A small dinner party night can easily be held in most peoples homes, however 30-40 guests or more and your probably in need of a bigger venue. Try your local hotels, restaurants or club halls in your neighborhood. A lavish way to hold a mystery murder is to run one over the weekend. Check out local Bed and Breakfasts or boutique hotels who would be happy to cater for your specific needs. Great idea for a
wedding,
engagement
or
bachelor party
celebration or for a very
special birthday
milestone event.
