Hosting a murder...

My sister-in-laws birthday was last week and unfortunately we were out of town and unable to do anything with/for her. For atleast a year Becca (the sister in law) has been trying to throw my wife a How to Host a Murder party, this game is rather fun, but time consuming and harder to pull off then they make it seem. We decided to throw her a surprise murder party. The basis of the game is you put 8 people in a room, give them characters and a character guide book and tell them one of them murdered their host. Basically Clue acted out at a dinner party. We pulled out all the stops, got a friend to let us use their "summer home" up in Park City, got a good friend to ask Becca out on a date, got all her best friends in on it, and even dressed in black and acted as the servants. Two weeks in planning all came to an end last night, and it was well worth it. She was surprised beyond belief and when we shuffled her into the other room to get into her costume she had a hard time not jumping up and down in excitement and her mouth open in shock. The dinner was huge with all the courses, I'm glad I married an excellent cook. I'd recommend it to anyone, as long as you get all the people that will get into character and have fun with it. Try your own How to Host a Murder party anytime.
