I've been combining mystery parties with puzzle solving, like escape room puzzles. Example: one character is given clues which will lead him on a puzzle hunt to find the deceased's hidden Will & Testament; Another character has their own puzzle trail leading to the identity of the murderer... whereas other guests have things they need to uncover involving their own backstories
Omg I know it's been a while since you posted this but please make a video with details!!! I'm organizing a party and your ideas are brilliant and exactly what I would love 🤩
I’m a 12 year old attempting this for her birthday party lol..this vid was really helpful, and the kit I’m using is called: Death by chocolate It’s interesting, and I’m excited! Also, I read the Party planner, and it says not to View the booklets or the video before the party, so how do I check if it wont buffer?
I'd suggest two weeks in advance of the party, so you have time to invite additional people if anyone on your original list can't make it. Thanks for your question!
do you need to use a party kit? Could you make your own storyline and stuff or will it not work? bc I have an idea for a murder mystery but I don’t want to use a party kit
Every game is different -- if you don't want to use a video to share clues, you'll want to look for a game that uses exclusively paper clues. In the case of Murder at Pendleton Manor, the game comes with a transcript of the videos, so you could technically read that aloud or paraphrase it for your guests.

Great ideas!
That is fucking genius.

Also learned after two bad episodes... Alcohol should be limited to one drink max until after the game.
We totally agree :)
Wow... Now that is a great idea... Good to know!
Perfect video!! Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much!
You need to take black and white pictures of the party to make it look authentic.

Can you suggest a Murder Mystery Game?
How far in advance should you get the RSVP for the party?
I'd suggest two weeks in advance of the party, so you have time to invite additional people if anyone on your original list can't make it. Thanks for your question!
Fantastic! I have followed you on Instagram. Hope it's the right one!!!
Love the video. Lots of information, clearly delivered. Many thanks. x
Nice

Yes, you can definitely make up your own game. It's a lot of fun to try your hand at writing your own mystery!
@@thestorytellerscottage thank you! I definitely will.
I’m thinking about one of these nights. Do you really need to have a video playing? Could you explain it .

I am writing my own murder mystery would you be willing to answer a few questions that I have??
Sure - you can email me at lisa@storytellerscottage.com
Can you host a murder mystery party as a nonprofit fundraiser? If so, how....
