I have to tell you that the party went even better than planned. It was held for my daughter who turned 15 and 9 of her friends. They had such a blast. We held the party in a 100 year old mansion which was a most suitable location. I loved every aspect of the party set. All kids love a mystery and especially if you dress up! Thank you so much, Sincerely, Sandra 
Not really, but highly encouraged! All of the games were created with the concept of a round the table game play. Titanic of course is at the captains table, Alice is a game with a meal or at the Hatters Tea Party table etc. We feel that the elegance and enjoyment of the game works best when everyone is seated around a table. We have found that people are more relaxed at a dinner setting as well. (You can also serve any meal of your choice, but the game does come with all the recipes and videos to create an amazing meal) Also the dinner setting is the best way for everyone to hear the questions and answers given by the players. I have received a few emails where people have played the games sitting around a room and it seems to work well. The game play does not rely on a meal.
Hi Gary,
I have a quick question in regards to the eight players in the Titanic game. Do they all arrive in character and stay in character all night? Since I will be doing the serving of the meal in between rounds what do the players talk about. I would assume that everyone stays in character? Do they talk about their character? Do they talk about the Titanic? Should I have some interesting facts about the Titanic that they can read from when the game is not being played, as I have six courses but there are only four rounds to the mystery. Not sure what to do. Your advice would be appreciated.
Kind regards, Margaret
Hi Margaret,
I’ve never been asked this before and it is such a great question. I think with these games it is a personal preference whether you choose to play the game completely in character from beginning to end. For me, I let my guests just be themselves as they arrive and we talk about all kinds of things titanic related or not. We have fun taking photos, introducing our characters to each other and having a cocktail, but we don’t constantly remain in character. Some players may naturally play it up all evening, while others are less outgoing, it’s all good. I always try and create a fun relaxed atmosphere without putting too much pressure on anyone.
When I play the games with my friends, we are all in character during the game play/rounds and are ourselves in between rounds. Just like a regular dinner party.
I found that this way people are relaxed and don’t feel they need to be “on” all evening. However, you may find that your guests are having fun remaining in character, then by all means that’s great, I wouldn’t discourage it, and say its up to them, whichever is the most fun for them.
It would be interesting to hear from people who have played the game with their guests in Character all night long and how it went. Have a great party Margaret, please let me know how it goes!

Pictured here: Jack, Red,Hook, Evil Queen, Snow, Prince. What a fun night! We had some birthday party plans fall through at the last minute, so we decided to download the Fairytale murder mystery. We had players from ages 12 – 45 and everyone had a great time. The directions were very clear and easy to follow. I was able to email everyone the character info and invitation. Since we were short on time, our costumes were simple but everyone had a great time getting into character. Thank you for making it so easy to host a fun get together. Thanks! Tara

Thank you for helping to make our extended family dinner the talk of the town! The game was very entertaining, especially from Round Three when the scandals continued to rock Rosings Park with all characters having some blemish on their character to conceal!
Atrocious English accents were heard, and everyone enjoyed procuring the correct costumes. All ladies were magnificent in the height of Regency fashion and the men were quite the rakes in their top hats, waistcoats and cravats. We thank you for helping to make our extended family dinner the talk of the town!
Yours sincerely, Lady Kathleen
Just thought I’d let you know that we had a fabulous murder mystery party. Everyone was impressed and we really enjoyed the evening. For once, I could actually see good sense why the murderer was the murderer rather than feeling they were randomly picked out with nothing concrete to justify it (other murder mystery games we’ve tried). Thank you so much

This was the first Murder Myster we have ever played. We were all very excited and had loads of fun. The setting was perfect and the storyline was super great. Some lines really had us rolling with laughter. We had a fantastic night that lasted until very very late! We are all looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for the great game!

Having hosted MANY murder mysteries I was wary of trying a new style of game..however we had a ball!! The preparation was easy and I love how all of the clues really come in to play in the game and the solution.
Everyone had an absolute ball and got totally into character and some of us even got it right! (guessed the murderer!)
We are about to do Titanic next month, and we are all looking forward to it with great anticipation!!
Thanks, Tracey

Where are the answers to the detectives’ questions?
I recently purchased the Alice in Wonderland Murder Mystery from your website, however, I just have one question: where are the answers to the detectives’ questions? Or should the characters just make up their own answers?
ANSWER:Thank you for the question. Yes the idea behind the detective questions is that this is an opportunity to force the other players to improvise. The non detective players have to come up with there own answers.
Also please note the detective questions are quite simple and most times they just ask the suspects to elaborate on something they already spoke of, giving the suspect the opportunity to improvise. However let your detectives know that they can make up there own questions if they find the supplied question is to simple. They can try and stump the suspect.
PS: Your detectives should also be the ones to read the recaps from each round.
