On Friday night Rick and I hosted our first "How to Host a Murder" party. Skylar bought this game for me a few years ago and we have never played it. A few weeks ago he said, "Mom, when are we going to play the murder mystery game. I decided that this was as good a time as any so I issued invitations and the rest is history!
The game is made for a group of eight characters and it was hard to whittle down to just eight. I had thought that Kendra and Rick could just come dressed in a fifties costume and observe. Well it turned out that Kallie got sick that night so Kendra was able to play Kallie's part and Rick still got to observe (with a little babysitting on the side:)
I invited Mark and Taryn, Justin and Julie, Kallie, Jenni, Skylar and Sarah, and Kendra and Rick. (Brach was busy working on their house:)
I wanted to host a dinner along with the game so we had appetizers at the beginning just after everyone introduced their characters. I served a relish tray (made by Kendra) and a cheeseball and crackers (made by Sarah).
After round one and getting into the game a little bit I served up dinner. We had individual meat loaves with baked potatoes and green beans. Everyone loved getting into their part and throwing out clues around the table.
After round three I served up dessert. (Costco pumpkin and apple pies with ice cream) At the end of the game everyone got to say who they thought was the culprit! We had a lot of laughs as everyone was trying to get their clues out each round!
We liked it so much we may do it again next year!
