100% yes!

They have uncovered a new talent!

You can only ever truly know if it will work by taking the leap and hosting your game! It's always a bit nerve-wracking, but it helps if you have someone you can talk it all through with to check for any blind spots.

Heya, you would need to rally the minimum number of guests required for the game to work. Four wouldn't be viable, unfortunately. My smallest Print and Play game at the moment is for 12 players.

@@murdermysteryguide okay, thanks for letting me know

Yes, they can take on the role of any character - the host has to take care of printing all the game stationery and facilitating the "flow", so it's probably helpful to know who it is!

the host can host as a character, but I've also facilitated / hosted games as an observer. (I usually just make up a name and a reason for why I'm attending the dinner, then drive the action that way)

Man why did this make me laugh that hard

LMAO 💀

Best Host/Party ever!

Lmaooooo😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

He's probably serious

Or... embrace the weirdo within and elevate your game night. After all, Clue is just a board game, but a murder mystery dinner? That's an experience! 🕵‍♂😉

Thanks so much for this positive and encouraging feedback, Mike!

That's a great question, Alex! I don't recommend murder mystery dinners for kids, due to the adult themes, but it depends on the individual child and the content of the game.

Are you saying there should be more by now? :)

Hey Todd! Apologies for the inconvenience! I've just spotted your comment now, so I'm guessing you've already played the game?

@@murdermysteryguide Hello. No, I've been sidetracked. Great timing! I actually am preparing to get back to planning this soon now that Summer is here! 8)

@@luke11.35 lovely to hear that! Feel free to reach out if you have questions. 😊😊

@@luke11.35 PS email me and I'll share the wording you're missing!

It depends on the plot, usually. If the characters are attending a reading of the will, they know there's been a murder. If they've been invited to a gala dinner or some other type of event, they should arrive *not* knowing that there will be / has been a murder.

Have a wonderful time!

It's 90% improvised with a basic framework to help guide the characters and the game!

This video is specific to MMG murder mystery games, but hopefully it is still applicable to yours! :)

Thanks so much! That's really encouraging 😁😁

Some games only allow the murderer to find out they did towards the end, but as you get to allocate characters, make sure you don't allocate someone you can't trust to be the murderer!

Probably like, maybe two weeks? Not sure, if you buy a set, it should recommend a time.

I like to tell my guests that they need to RSVP ASAP once they get their official invite - you can't really have someone missing from the game, but sometimes it's possible to invite a new guest the day before if someone is ill. There's no rule, really! You just don't want any guest to be missing on the day.

I'm not familiar with An Inspector Calls... So sorry!

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback! This is super encouraging to us!

This video is very specifically to help MMG customers :)

I'm so glad it was helpful to you! 😀

Hey, thanks for your comment! This is how my style of murder mystery experiences works. It's not really a "Cluedo" kind of game, it's more about improvisation and conversation. It's definitely a fun dinner-table party :)

Hi Amber, it's possible... It just isn't advisable... My murder mysteries are designed to be played around the dinner table so everyone can hear the conversations, which are full of clues! I find if people are too spread out it can ruin the game. Have you played a murder mystery before?

@@murdermysteryguide Nope but it sounds really fun especially since I love performing. I’m thinking to host a masquerade picnic for my 21st birthday and I’m trying to decide whether or not to include murder mystery into the list of activities, it sounds way more fun than truth or dare.

@@AmberLiusStrrawberry A murder mystery dinner takes A LOT of preparation and you need to decide which type to host. Some companies run games for huge groups, whereas mine are better for up to 20 people at a dinner party setting. Whatever you do, Have FUN!!!

Nothing says "troll" like a mean comment on a zero-budget video ;)

Hi Judi, thanks so much for your feedback! That's good to note for our next video - whenever that is!? Thanks for your comment and interactions. How often do you play murder mystery dinners and which style is your favourite?

@@murdermysteryguide Truthfully... it was on Stage Performance.. What I want to do when I move back to Albuquerque New Mexico... is to Open up my Acting Studio, teaching students how to act... and also open up a Dinner Theatre, having Murder Mystery Dinners... (kill two stones with one bird) LOL get it... "Kill" ... bahahahaa... I grew up in the Restaurant Business... and it's good for kids to also learn, while they're learning Acting... We have done a few on stage, with refreshments served before the Play begins and it's always a hit... A lot of work... but very rewarding. Can't wait to See your next video... So exciting. Thank you so much for all you do.

@@judichristopher4604 This is amazing, Judi! Thank you for sharing! All the best with that acting studio and thank you for your support - it means a lot! xxx

@@murdermysteryguide Thank you for all the great videos... if I ever write a Murder Mystery story... I'll let you know... especially if it has something to do with GHOST??? I keep wanting to write about an unforeseen entity... Will, I already have that story, but not as a murder mystery...

@@murdermysteryguide Thank you so much.

I find giving introverts quiet characters allows them to feel more comfortable on the night. A person's skin colour has nothing to do with it.

NO!!!! DA!

Ha! Obviously no one is harmed in a murder mystery dinner setting - the murder victim is 100% fictitious!

@@murdermysteryguide That is sad that you even have to explain that...

@@judichristopher4604 Haha! You make me laugh!

RIGHT!!!! I have his screenplays... I'll get on it... Great IDEA.

What makes you say that? :)

@@murdermysteryguide Because of the intrigue, of the writing, how the screenwriter keeps everyone in suspense... sometimes the suspense is worse than the actually deed.

@@murdermysteryguide I am already a "Writer", and have 3 manuscripts ready to be published, but now... I want to take it a step further, and become a screenwriter, or scriptwriter.. Maybe I can write a Murder Mystery Party some time... so exciting.

Thanks so much for the support - it means a lot :)

Awww, but that's not the same at all! 😁

@Tucker Case My thoughts exactly! 😂 Except for the awkward and forced parts... 😜

@@tuckercase2449 You're funny! I like it :)

South African

what??

My accent is South African - Cape Town, southern suburbs to be specific 😌

@@murdermysteryguide you have accents specific to suburbs in SA?

@@Jordan-xg4pn Oh, yes!!!

Always a pleasure! 🙌🙌🙌

Paxton 1000 the dinner was great. The REAL murders were not Signed, the ghost of the manly man George Eliot

Thanks for watching! 🙌😜🙌

Hey finch !!! - so glad you stopped by and watched! Check out the description beneath our video for the context of what our video is about :)

I think you can buy already scripted murder mystery dinners online or in a lot of toy shops. You don't have to write the plan or character list on your own

Hey Maff, thanks for watching! If you check out our description below the video you'll find the context for it. We're busy revamping out website, so watch this space!

The first 30 seconds literally shows them with a character list and she describes what it is. Surely you should watch the beginning first of all?

this is best open ended i believe, since some viewers may be watching with a set theme already in mind, or with a character list they’ve chosen either from a guide, fiction, or original creation.

It is a "how to" if you're using it to play this specific game, or another Murder Mystery Guide experience. 😊
