Customer Reviews

Want to host a great evening for your friends?
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!

Good but beware...
Good game, all pieces as described. However!!! Original game was for 8-10 players; the new version is for 8 players only and has no option for 2 more. We had 10 players so it was a little awkward. One acted as narrator but would have been better with 10 players.

This one was my favorite!!!
I've played almost ALL of the mystery dinner games on the market and this one was my favorite!! Our group had a blast! The characters were hilarious and the recipes were YUMMY!!! Highly recommend!!
