Murder Mystery Parties
Holding a Murder Mystery Party is a guaranteed way to have a top quality night of fun with your friends, family and colleagues.
Murder Mystery Parties can be a simple Murder Mystery Dinner or you can go all out and have an interactive Murder Mystery Party for 10, 20 or even 100+ friends.
The steps for your Murder Mystery Party:
- Work out if you are indeed cool enough to hold a murder mystery.
- Pick a date:
- 2 to 3 weeks into the future for a murder mystery dinner
- 4+ weeks into the future for a murder mystery party
- Themed Murder Mystery Parties are great. Pick your theme, do you want a Hollywood Scandal or a 1920’s Gangster Party etc.?
- Pick a venue (ideally to match your theme):
- Your house is easy and cheap
- Go to a restaurant
- Hire a local hall
- Restaurants/bars have free/cheap function rooms if you buy drinks over the bar
- Find a murder mystery game. Two common games are:
- Murder In A Box
- How To Host A Murder (From Game Stores)
- Send out invites from your game to your intended guests. Have a little fun by putting fake blood on the envelope and don’t be affraid to encourage guests to dress up.
- Collect RSVP’s
- Organise a host to run the game:
- Yourself or a friend
- Have that person read the instructions before the event
- Think about your venue and will you decorate for your Murder Mystery Party?
- A couple of days before the party send a reminder sms or email.
- On the day set up your venue and any decorations.
- Get any food ready
- When the time comes relax, greet your guests and have a great time!
- The golden rule: “The better time you have the better time your guests will have!”
