Dinner and a Murder: Integrating a murder mystery game into your dinner party
DOWNLOAD, PRINT, CUT, PLAY First, follow the four Shot In The Dark Mystery Games steps: Download, Print, Cut, Play. Do this one week before your party so if a last minute dinner crisis arises, your murder mystery game will be ready - one less thing to worry about. Also, with the murder mystery game clues sorted ahead of time, no matter what kind of kitchen catastrophe you encounter, your guests will be so intrigued with sharing the initial clues they won't notice the crashing noises coming from the kitchen.
COORDINATE THE GAME CHAPTERS WITH YOUR MEAL COURSES Shot In The Dark Murder Mystery Games contain between four and six "chapters". Each chapter is played independently of the previous chapter, which makes the murder mystery game ideal for a dinner situation. Chapter one clues can be distributed over cocktails once everyone has arrived. If your guests aren't well acquainted, this will help break the tension and get your guests talking with minimal effort on you, the host.
APPETIZERS Now that everyone has mingled a bit, shared their clues and received some secret information, chapter two begins. This is a great time to serve appetizers. We suggest delivering the clues before the appetizers are served and then having each person read their "share" clue either while they are eating or after the appetizers are finished.
THE MAIN COURSE Chapter three offers more intrigue over your main course. The clues can be shared and conversation about the murder encouraged as people eat or after the main course has finished.
DESSERT AND COFFEE Chapter four is usually the final chapter before the murderer is revealed. Chapter four is great to play over dessert and coffee or over a third course (if you are particularly ambitious in your cooking endeavors).
THE MURDERER IS REVEALED The final chapter where the murderer is revealed is best played over a second cup of coffee or after-dinner drinks. Before you deliver the final clues or read the final dialogue, we recommend each guest write down their accusation on a piece of paper. Because of this, it's best to have your table mostly cleared to give each person room to write. Then, as sugar is stirred into cappuccino, each guest announces their accusation and explains to the other players why he or she is accusing that particular suspect. Expect even more lively conversation - keep whipped cream to a minimum lest you must scrape it off the walls the following day.
AFTER THE MEAL Finish your murder mystery game dinner party with a bit more mingling, allowing each guest time to approach you when you're free of your cooking duties to rave about the fun they've had.
A murder mystery game is a great way to spice up your dinner party. Follow the steps above for fantastic results, giving you and your guests a night they will never forget!
