What a kick to try to figure out who did it, only to discover it was YOU!<\/h2>\n

Looking for a fun evening with friends? Why not invite people over for an evening of murder and mystery?<\/p>\n

First of all you will need to invite friends and family that are\u00a0open-minded and have a good sense of humor. Murder mystery games, while being cheesy, have\u00a0story-lines that involve sexual themes and clues that are not suitable for children!<\/p>\n

It helps if your guests\u00a0like\u00a0role-playing and are happy to throw themselves into the character. This brings the game to life, especially if they choose to dress the part.<\/p>\n

Any good quality game will have easy to follow instructions. Some have written instructions to download. Some boxed games include a CD, while some older versions include a tape(!). Where it is included a\u00a0CD can add to the mood of the evening. If there is not one available, plan your background music to match the theme of the game.<\/p>\n

Maps can focus attention on where the action takes place, but can give a board game fell to the event.<\/p>\n

Plan for a fun filled night of murder and accusations, then watch as the tale unfolds….<\/h2>\n
