Are you looking to add a little excitement to your next girls' night in? Why not host a murder mystery party! Murder mystery kits are the perfect way to bring some intrigue and suspense to your gathering. Plus, they're a great excuse to dress up and get into character (who doesn't love a good costume party?).
What's in a Murder Mystery Kit?
So, what exactly is included in a murder mystery kit? First up is the host guide which will explain to you how to play the game. The host can play along (there are instructions that say how to do so without spoiling the game!) which means that the fun extends to every member of your group. There will also be an introduction that explains the setting, crime, and the victim. You will get an autopsy report and a page of extras that you can put out for your guests to see.
In the character packets, you will find a character profile for each guest, a deeper background that only the player will know, relationships with other characters, and hide and share information which will be used to gather clues to solve the crime.
Finally, there is the confession. This will explain how each player is involved and who the killer is. This will be read at the end of the party once everyone has voted on who they think the killer is!
How to Host a Murder Mystery Party
Hosting a murder mystery party is easier than you might think. Simply choose a kit that suits your group size and theme preferences, assign characters to your guests, set the scene (dim lighting and eerie music can really set the mood), and let the sleuthing begin! Encourage your friends to get into character and really embrace their roles for a night of fun and laughter.
We have many themes to choose from, and any of them can be played with an all-female group! Pick a theme based on how you want to decorate and dress up! You and your friends can get really into it, and it will be a night that you'll never forget.
