My buddy is having a NYE party at his house and we were looking to do something a little different and this idea came up. Has anyone ever hosted or been to one before? If so was it a good time and did everyone get into character? Also any tips on hosting or what kits to get? I’ve been doing some research and everyone seems to say that they’re a great time and the kits are pretty cheap. Just looking for some real world reviews. :beer:
Anyone ever host a murder mystery dinner?

I went to one for my birthday this year. It was a wild west theme. There was about 20 of us and everyone had a blast. You really have to listen to the actors to pick up on the small hints. Would definitely do it again, but it was kinda pricey.
I figured you meant it this way I'd just clarify and state that you are wondering if anyone has actually been the cast for one. I've been to a couple like the guy below but I never was a part of one. I feel like the idea of it would be interesting but it might require a lot of upfront work :shrug:
Yeah, the one we're thinking of doing you buy a kit and you and your friends are the actors. The kit comes with the plot, characters and props. You are then given hints that you must drop and everyone tries to figure out the killer. Something like this... Amazon.com: Murder Mystery Party - Pasta, Passion and Pistols: Toys & Games
nice i never knew there were little kits like that, might try to do something like that with some friends. thanks for posting that link!
This seems like a good place to get stuff from Dinner and a Murder Mystery Games Complete Party Kits I'll for sure update this after the fact. I figure we'll all be shitty actors so it won't matter.
Do an inception theme, put everyone to sleep.
Sounds like a swinger's party:dancenana:
Yep, has all the makings for one. We'll need pics of said party after it's all done. :thumbsup:
i went to a few of the murder mystery dinners at playhouses and they were always a blast. the food kinda sucked but the fact that the waiters were the actors and you could ask questions and such to figure out who was the killer was pretty cool. i took my g/f at the time and a few friends to one down in FL one year when we went to disney, the best time ive ever had at one. it was modeled after the game clue and really was a huge hit. drinks were expensive and food lacked but it didnt really matter as you were having a blast of a time.
make sure to keep guests entertained. if you loose them to talking to each other too much the whole thing turns too loud and people get put off. oh and serve good food, not just the generic chicken+mash potatos.

My kids grandparents own a Bed & Breakfast and do them. They are pretty fun.
