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.

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.

Murder Mystery Party Games - Honky Tonk Homicide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't get me wrong, living in Texas as I do I thought that this was a great theme with hilarious characters. The beginning of the game has a great setup, with a shooting in a Texas saloon and clues scattered throughout the bar. The rest of the game, though, is a total let down. I've played many other mystery party games before, and usually by the fourth round there are all kinds of fun little secrets about each character that are revealed. In this edition, however, there are a couple characters that had literally only one or two secrets at the beginning of the game that were revealed, and these characters were just simply forgotten by the third round. And if role-playing isn't your forte and you just want to solve a good mystery, then forget it. We have eight characters, each has a motive, but you have absolutely no inkling as to the identity of the murderer by the end. It's as if they wrote all the scripts, then drew a name out of a hat at the end to pick the murderer. In other words, there's no way to solve it. I would suggest one of the older Murder a la Carte games instead, like Bullets and Barbecue or Lethal Luau. This one was just terrible and I was embarrassed to invite some of my new gamers to it.
