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.

1920s Photobooth Props

We are planning a 1920s gangster/flapper murder mystery party for Curly-haired-boy’s birthday. (Everyone is really excited.) I’ve been looking for an excuse to printout/make a couple of the photobooth props from ‘Oh Happy Day‘. So I took this chance and we printed a couple of her props out which I supplemented with some gangster themed items that I drew myself. A couple bottles of illegal booze, a gangster fedora, a couple flapper facinators, some flapper lips, a tommy gun. I will be taking them to a REAL party next weekend (a week from Saturday), but for now decided to have a mini photo party by myself.

After my ‘practice shoot’ Ian-dog asked to get in on the fun. This is he.

Really he is just asking ‘Come on! What do I have to do to get those treats in your hand?’
