Murder Mystery Party

A murder mystery party is a party at which guests act out a murder mystery. Typically, one of the guests is secretly designated the "murderer." The other guests must figure out who among them is the criminal.

Murder mystery parties can range from elaborate, costumed affairs to simple dinner parties at which a "murder mystery" game is played. If the host does now want to come up with the murder mystery scenario him or herself, boxed sets, which contain character descriptions and pre-written narratives, can be purchased at most game and hobby stores.

1. Turn-based games: Information is released over the course of the evening
2. Interactive game: Each player has the details of his or her character, but must interact with other guests over the course of the evening to solve the crime
3. Suspects and sleuths: Only 8 to 10 guests are suspects with detailed backgrounds; everyone else is a sleuth who must interrogate the suspects
4. Murder mystery theater: Guests attend a live show which includes audience participation; the audience collaborates to solve the crime
