Last weekend, I turned 30. Instead of letting the moment pass me by, I decided to throw a party. A Murder Mystery Party. It took a lot of preparation (cutting, pasting, imagining, assigning characters, shopping, decorating) but I think it was worth it. We had a blast. It was a 1920's Mobster theme - the party took place at my (Rosie's) Speakeasy. While everyone was having a great time, a murder occurred. Can't tell you who died in case you ever play. Then we all had to figure out whodunnit. Can't tell you whodunnit either.
Props - I printed these covers of 1920's Life Magazine and glued them onto Dwell Magazines.
Rosie's bulletin board - with notes from the likes of Al Capone and Jane Green.
The party takes place during the prohibition.
Bernie Bootlegger and Notorious Nick
Southside Sal and his girl, Natalie
Cheif Cameron and Mugsy Malone
PI Pinkerton and Cy Ramsey
Rosie Marie and Kitty
The dead guy
Diva Dina and Natalie
The whole groupIf you ever get a chance to host or attend a murder mystery party, I highly recommmend it. We bought the game online and can definately use it over again to host other games in which Jon and I won't play. Two pieces of advice: 1. You may THINK you have enough beer, but you won't. People drink like crazy during the prohibition! 2. Plan ahead for the "gun shot". Shoes being hit together does not sound like a gun.

So fun and creative!!! Wish I could have been there. I probably would have worn a wig :)
the naoto wig? wish i could have been there too. especially had erika been there wearing the naoto 80's rockstar wig. happy birthday you old broad!
Oh how I wish you two could have been there....but alas, you live in deserts thousands of miles away. Erika - what ever happened to that wig? Oh, and what ever happened to Naoto? The craziest thing - I dreamt about him last night (before reading these comments) - he was just the 10 year old we used to know in the dream. Saying "sonkara, sonkara." Oh, the joy he still brings...
