Murder Mystery Party - Pasta, Passion and Pistols Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the second murder mystery game we've played and while we had fun, we thought this one could have been better. The story line was fine, the menu was good, and the decorations were easy to make or buy. We had fun playing the game and we didn't think the mystery was unsolvable (even though only one person guessed correctly). We had a good time with our horrible accents and people did a good job with their costumes.
The part we were disappointed in was the "Extra Players" part. This game is actually for 6 players, even though it says you can invite 8. We invited 3 other couples to the party, and the couple that played the extra parts (Father Alfredo and Clair Voyant) felt very left out. They had very few lines, weren't suspects in the mystery, and their parts were pretty lame. I felt this game could have included them more if they had better parts, even if they still weren't suspects in the mystery. I would suggest that if you have friends who aren't likely to get into the game to give them the extra players' parts. They can easily sit by the wayside and not do much and still enjoy what the other players are doing.
Overall it was fun and I enjoyed the Italian/New York theme, but just keep in mind that it's really a game for 6.

Murder Mystery Party - A Taste for Wine and Murder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK, I have to first admit that I *love* these kinds of party games. The whole idea of dressing up, hanging out with friends and trying to solve a mystery together while you eat delicious food is just about the most enjoyable way I can imagine to spend with 7 of my best friends. This game makes it so easy! You follow the instructions, hand out the notes to the players, and it's all set! A definite must-have for any fun-loving wine drinker! Perhaps the only drawback might be that some people just don't enjoy these sorts of play-acting games. So choose friends that really have fun with this.

How to Host a Murder: The Class of '54 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was my first "How to Host a Murder" game, and I must say that I was hooked! The most important aspect is your guest list; you need to invite people (friends or family) who are open-minded and have a good sense of humor; it also helps if they have a bit of the actor in them as good role-playing truly brings the characters and situations to life. I used this game as the backdrop for my Halloween party; it was a wonderful way to get all my guests to dress-up. A word of caution: as with others in the series, the story involves sexual themes and clues that are not suitable for children! The instructions are easy to follow and the costume ideas and character-histories on the invitations are terrific additions. The CD creates the mood and automatically thrusts you into the game-play, while the map (which I had laminated) maintains the board-game feel and focuses the game. I have to admit that at first I thought that it would be difficult to juggle both hosting the party and playing the game, but it worked perfectly. The only downside to these games is that they have little to no replay value, but I am looking forward to hosting another party with a new group of people and simply observing how the game develops; I honestly think that this game is enjoyable even for an observer... HAVE FUN!

How to Host a Murder: The Last Train from Paris Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, I'm going to explain in brief if you are not familiar with this game, but if you've done this before, skip down to the next paragraph. Basically, 4 males and 4 females (you can reverse roles, it isn't very restrictive) get together one night, and a murder have been committed (usually the imaginery host that invited the guests is killed.) Now the 8 players will try to figure out who done the horrible crime. Each person has a manual that gives out clues and with them you try to figure out who's the guilty one by conversation. Usually dinner is served and the whole game is actually pretty involved, mine takes about 4-5 hours.
Alright, enough ranting, lets discuss why you would want to buy this game. Again, if you have experienced this before, you know that this is a lot of fun, its a good way to spend a few hours with 7 of your friends. This is all about interactions, and so you get to see how your friends react when pressed and how well they can persuade others to believe their arguments. Game is very innovative, from costumes to preparing dinner to the story and the solution, I wouldn't say this game is educational, but it does help one to think deductively and inductively, it practices one to be observant and to ask questions. There is a lot to this game and this episode is one of my favorite. Treat yourself to a night of fun and intrigue, and as a suggestion to newcomers, try the first few episodes, they are relatively easy and quick to solve, helps you to get the hang of this game.

University Games Murder Mystery Party Game - Murder at Mardi Gras Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having never done ANYTHING like this before, I will say we were a bit skeptical of how the evening (and game) would turn out...but our Saturday night "Murder Mystery" event was SO much fun - we can't wait to throw another murder party! The Murder at Mardi Gras had so many twists and turns. It really was like an "adult" game of Clue that involves everyone. The scripts allow you to read your part(s) and then ask questions at the end of each chapter. My boyfriend and I invited three other couples, and we participated the entire time (no one, not even the host, knows who the murderer is beforehand). We found out after the game was over the "murderer" read on Page 1 that he/she had done it, and was instructed to play the game normally, trying not to reveal too much. The booklets sometimes suggest answers and questions, which also puts a spin on things. It was a lot of fun, and everyone really got into their parts. Although our Southern (Bayou?) accents weren't the best, we all had a blast reading through our parts and discussing who we suspected of being the murderer. Knowing the participants wouldn't enjoy Cajun-type food, I served pasta, salad, garlic bread, and an array of appetizers. I also had a chocolate fountain with a display of strawberries, brownies, marshmallows and pretzels for dipping. I gave each participant a "Mardi Gras" gift bag with a fun mask attached to each bag (yes, I go a little overboard!). We cannot wait to host the next Murder Party...which is "A Taste for Wine and Murder". Woohoo!
