A mystery dinner party is a game where guests try to solve a mystery over dinner, often with a murder theme. Guests can play specific characters or gather clues to solve the mystery. The game can be played in various venues, and different types of mysteries are available. Kits with instructions and character descriptions can be purchased, and the game can be played by different age groups.
A mystery dinner party is a role-playing game where guests try to solve a mystery over the course of dinner. They can be played in homes, restaurants and dining rooms. There are many types of mysteries available for solving, but one of the most popular ones is the murder mystery. The mysteries come in different themes and can be played by a few guests or a large group. High school reunions, birthday parties, bridal showers, and charity dinners are just a few of the events that could have a mystery dinner theme.
Inviting guests to a mystery dinner is a fun way to get friends or family together, share a meal, and solve the crime at hand. Guests are usually advised of the mystery theme when they receive their invitation so they can dress the part if they wish. Often, some of the invited guests are asked to help unravel the mystery by playing specific characters. Before the day of the dinner, selected guests are given an overview of the person they will be playing along with background details regarding the mystery so they can dress the part and come ready to play their character. Guests who don’t play a role in the mystery gather clues and try to solve it.
Restaurants and theaters can even host a mystery dinner. Typically, the venue sells tickets for admission, including dinner. In contrast to mystery parties in a house, theater or restaurant, patrons do not play characters in the mystery. Instead, the establishment uses its own staff, or hired actors, to play the necessary parts. Diners collect clues and try to solve the mystery alone, in groups or teams. Bed and breakfasts are another venue that sometimes host mystery parties with guests staying overnight to solve the crime alongside the other guests.
Murder mysteries may be the most popular type of mystery, but there are other types of mysteries available for you to solve. For example, an evening’s caper may focus on a missing object or a missing person, rather than a murder. Everything you need to plan a mystery dinner party can be purchased as a game. Downloadable versions are available online, and boxed sets can be purchased at department stores and party supply stores. The games include character assignment instructions along with character descriptions, crime scene setup information, and a guide to help party-goers solve the mystery.
A mystery dinner party can be played by as few as six or as many as 100 guests at once, depending on the mystery chosen. They can also be geared towards different age groups, such as children, adolescents or adults. Some mystery kits have a theme to set the stage for the mystery. For example, for a “Death on the High Seas” mystery, the dinner venue would be decorated like a cruise ship and guests would be asked to dress in cruise attire to enhance the evening’s entertainment.
