These games allow quick access (<24 hours) and no postage, but retain good quality contents which you can print and assemble easily.
Preparing for the Party:
Hosts will normally allocate roles to their guests and send out invitations several weeks prior to the party (usually after informally checking availability).
Guests are encouraged to dress and act as their character for the party, and their invitation includes details of their character and shows a colour portrait (as per our character pages) to assist with their costume selection.
Format of the Game:
The games are usually played over a three course dinner ('cocktail party' also works).
Upon arrival guests are handed their booklets, which they will refer to during the evening, and each game employs the following format:
- Short introductory round
- Three rounds of scripted (1st or 2nd person) questions and answers.
- Three short acting scenes (between each Q&A round)
- Conclusions and nominations of suspects, before the murderer is revealed.
A narrative CD is supplied with each game (which is played, as directed, between rounds).
