Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was the first murder mystery game in which my 30-something friends and I had ever participated. Overall, the night was a hit. But much preparation is required on the part of the host for it to be a success. We actually did a few things which I believe made the evening a success: 1) I invited friends that were more extraverted and would "ham" up getting in costume and acting out their parts; 2) I talked to others who had played the game before and got a sense of how the rounds were to be played. I then gave a "role play" to my guests of how the "rounds" were to be acted out; 3) We had a gift certificate as a prize for the winner whose accusation best matched the solution; 4)I changed the schedule from the instructions and started the party earlier in order to serve dinner earlier and not have hungry guests; and finally 5) we did not play a "round" at dinner, but instead took a break and just had regular conversation to break up the evening. I do agree that it's not as clear as one would expect as to "who done it." However, this was because much of the facts which the game instructs each character to try to conceal will remain concealed unless those characters are pressed for information by the others. The game instructs you not to lie, just to try to conceal certain facts. I recommend telling your guests to phrase questions requiring only "yes" or "no" answers (a "cross-examination" method) in order to get those facts out. For example, rather than saying, "Why were you meeting with the gardener at 4pm?" instead you could make an inference and ask, "Isn't it true that you met with the gardener in order to conspire to murder the decedent?". I hope this review is helpful.
