Detective Gear The Class of '54 installment of How to Host a Murder includes all the necessary items for planning and hosting a four-hour mystery dinner party for eight people. It is probably the easiest in the series for the aspiring murder-party host, but not because the mystery is easy to solve. Rather, it's because take-out burgers and fries would only enhance the game, and most of the players will have no problem putting together a costume (OK, a poodle skirt could be a bit tricky to find--but it isn't required). Nevertheless, the designers of the game's Host Guide have put together a more challenging (and more tasty) menu of brandied pot roast for ambitious hosts, and the cassette tape, featuring a malt shop atmosphere and Sargent Joe Flighty's tough-cop narrative, goes a long way toward setting the mood. After listening to the taped introduction, each of the eight players must scour the player books to find out who his or her character will be--from Joe Dierdre C. Deucer to Joseph K. Awledge. All are graduates of Roley City High's class of '54, but only one is the killer of rock star Rock N. Roley. Who will solve the murder? In addition to the Host Guide, eight player's books, and the tape, the package contains a map of the crime scene, secret clues, guest invitations, and nametags. --Patrick O'Kelley Return To Game
Mindtrap "King Henry VIII gave his wife a bottomless container to put flesh and blood in. What did he give her?" "How could you give someone $63 using six bills, without using one-dollar bills?" Mindtrap's more than 500 riddles, mysteries, and trick questions will have you scratching your head as you puzzle out the answers. Two teams of one or more players try to out-reason each other as they respond to questions correctly and roll the die to advance around the score pad, which features entwined chains of light and dark squares that form an optical illusion. Play a long round or short, at home or in the car, or just tease your own brain by reading through the questions. The score pad, die, and cards are kept neat in a sturdy, travel-size cardboard game box. Return To Game | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
