Toys and Games Reviews of Murder Mystery Party - A Murder on the Grill
Customer Review: Best Party Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw one of these Murder Mystery games at a bookstore, and thought they looked interesting. This was my first Murder Mystery game I have ever hosted, and it was a blast!!!! Everyone come over dressed up in character, we had 50's music playing, and barbecue food. All of the guests got into the parts more than I thought they would!!! This was an extremely fun game, although I don't have any other mysteries to compare it to. Now we are planning to get together once a month for a Murder Mystery night! This game was just a blast!
IMPORTANT: Even though this game says 6-8 players (there are 2 non-suspect parts), I would highly reccomend there only being 6 players. The other two guests really had no part in any of the action. They just sort of sat there and watched. They aren't in any of the scripted parts, and people don't have replies to their questions. It should only be for 6 players!!!
Customer Review: A Murder Party for Adults
Summary: 5 Stars
The box says this is for "Adults", especially since the game contains some flirty statements and descriptive accusations in the script. At the end of each script or dialogue each person had to accuse others of being the murderer, based on facts in their script booklet. The party planner's book gives great suggestions for props, music and food. We checked out a 50's CD from the library and played it all night long. We also had a hula hoop, 50's book and a 57 Chevy prop to go with the theme. The end had quite a twist, which made it fun and interesting. Overall, a fun game! Requires about three hours to play game. Note to Party Planner: Read through the first dialogue of the part you play to better understand how the dialogue should go. This will help you better explain to others. Have fun!Customer Review: Our First Mystery
Summary: 5 Stars
This was our first mystery and since I didn't want to wait until Summer to host one we had it a few weeks before Christmas. I just changed a few of the dinner suggestions and decorated the Kitchen 50's style. It has been mentioned before, but the non-suspect parts are not fun to play. Perhaps if you know someone who likes to watch more than participate, it would be a perfect role for them. Otherwise, stick to the suspects. We have done 5 other mysteries, 2 with non-suspect parts, and it is always the same. The non-suspects do not have fun.
I loved the twist. Someone else mentioned they did not like the end result. I thought it was creative. Four of the eight of us guessed the murderer. Since this was our first mystery, it will always hold a special place.
Customer Review: We had a blast!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I hosted 3 couples and had so much fun playing this game! We all made an effort at dressing the part, although no one followed the costume suggestions to the tee - but the effort really paid off. It took us just under 3 hours to complete it, with breaks for checking/serving/cleaning up the food. It was easy to play, easy to follow, and was about as much fun as you made it. Everyone really tried to have fun and play up the characters and everyone laughed and had a great time. We would highly recommend it to anyone interested in a murder mystery game!Customer Review: This game was fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first mystery dinner game we have ever hosted. We enjoyed it and laughed the entire evening. All of our guests dressed up and really got into their characters. We took cues from the dinner menu and fixed things we liked! We hosted in the winter and could not do a traditional BBQ, but enjoyed the cuisine indoors! The story line was creative and funny, never a dull moment! We used all 8 characters, but can be easily done with 6. This game was easy to follow and a sure hit for a party! We will purchase something like this again in the future.
