1920s Murder Mystery Party

I’ve written briefly about our plans to throw a 1920s murder mystery party before. The party was this past Saturday, and it was amazing. So amazing it took all of Sunday and most of Monday for me to properly recover.

If you are considering purchasing a murder mystery game the ‘Dinner & a Murder: Murder at the Four Deuces‘ is probably the game you should go with. The mystery itself is very intricate and filled to the brim with details and misleads. Our party was overrun with side murders, black-mailing, extortion, and all kinds of bribery. We had about 20 party guests so it was probably a little more complicated than if we’d only had 10 people playing. I should also note that many of my friends are actors/role-players/involved in theater. So most of them are used to picking up a part to play & improvise. But even the people who weren’t actors really enjoyed themselves. I would absolutely consider buying another game from this company.

***Please note, nobody paid me in any way these are just opinions that I thought interested parties may enjoy reading***

A lot of our friends really got into the spirit of things and everyone looked amazing.  So the rest of this post will mostly be pictures of me, Curly-haired-boy, and our friends looking cute. Hope that’s cool with you guys.

      Well Curly-haired-boy was the first to get murdered. But the company tries to keep spoilers off the internet so lets just say… THE KILLER IS IN THESE PHOTOS!!!

    That looks like so much fun! I have the same question as Kate: who killed whom?

      Well Curly-haired-boy was the first victim. But the game company tries to keep spoilers off the internet so I’ll just say… THE KILLER IS IN THESE PHOTOS!!! (But it wasn’t me)

    I want my own murder mystery party! How did you get them all to play along?!?! No amount of alcohol could convince my friends!

      A lot of them are all actors & a lot of them play table-top role playing games, and some are even LARPers. Needless to say they are the kind of people who love slipping into a character.

    Um, this is totally amazing. Photobooths and props are so much fun. And where did you find that screen? I’ve always wanted one like it… you’re probably going to say vintage store, right?

      Actually the background screen is my mother’s and she bought it at a big-box store. I’ll try to find out which one ;)
