Murder mysteries are great fun, whether you want to host a night of murder to play a board or computer game, there are some fantastic ideas for your murder mystery.

Hosting your own murder mystery night can involve a variety of different things.  You may want to have a dinner party or hire one the many hotels that offer up their locations for just such and evening.  Some of the murder mystery games involve getting scripts for the various members of the game, but many are just an adlib of events with the basic outline known by a few.  Whatever way you want to play it, a murder mystery is more fun the more elaborate it is.  Take the time to set the occasion with people dressing the part.  It’s fun to give members accents with their characters as well as occupations, such as “Flash” the photographer who must document the evening’s events.

Keeping your party to theme with dinner courses that relate in some way to the knight with dishes named things like “What’s your poison” Cocktails before dinner and “Reasons Tequila” shots between courses.  Roasted Fowl Play for main course and Death by Chocolate for dessert…

While your dinner party or weekend may be for adults only, you can really enjoy yourself and behave like children for a change, just remember that the end result should be a crime solved, not a criminal at large.
