The Whodunnit: A Murder Mystery Dinner

Dinner does not always sound fun and exciting. As a matter of fact, the same dinner can often sound mundane, and we just go through the motions. Now imagine if your dinner were to have a murder and you had to solve the crime. That is exciting and brings new life to a boring dinner out. Instead of a three course humdrum meal, have a Murder Mystery Party.

Perhaps you aren't sure what Murder Mystery Parties are.  A Murder Mystery Party is one where you and your guests enjoy an appetizing meal and solve a crime. There is a murder that is committed during the meal and it is up to the guests to guess whodunnit. There will be clues given out during the meal and the guests can take turns trying to decide who committed the crime. It's an excellent interactive activity where the diners can also be involved.

Tips for Planning the Ultimate Murder Mystery Party

So you want to have fun, get creative, and enjoy the company of your friends. One special way of creating a memorable get-together is to host a murder mystery party. Here are some tips for throwing a spectacular celebration that just so happens to be themed around a faux murder or two.

First of all, you want to only invite friends with a sense of humour who you think will be willing to truly take part in the fun of the evening. Murder mystery parties are successful only when the whole group is enthusiastic and light-hearted about the activities.

When inviting each guest to your murder mystery party, ask what sort of role he would like to play. You may find that one guest may be really excited about playing the part of the character gets murdered, yet another guest may be adamant about not being part of the action because he doesn't like attention. Pay attention to the preferences of your guests and do your best to honour them. Ensure that guests are quite happy.

Consider the age of all the guests who will be attending your party. Murder mystery parties can be different if younger people are involved. Usually kids aren't really welcome at one, but sometimes older teens can take part in the festivities. Before solidifying your plans, check with all the invited guests to see if they will be bringing anyone else.

Next, choose refreshments that fit your theme and time of day. If you are staging the story of your mystery around a formal dinner, for example, you may want to provide multiple courses that you bring out as the night goes on, starting with elegant appetisers. However, if you are crafting a more casual storyline, you may opt to simply serve snacks. As you plan the party, keep in mind that it's all about having fun for your guests.
There are many considerations when planning a murder mystery party, but with a little forethought and attention to detail, you can pull off a truly memorable event.
