That way, attendees can do research about how to put together their costumes or how their characters might behave. This will also help you come with any props or decorations to prepare beforehand, and inform the kind of food and drinks you plan to serve. If you want to offer some special cocktails or merch to your attendees but your budget is tight, sponsors are a great way to get more for your event and expand your promotional reach. Before approaching any potential sponsors, think about the types of companies that make the most sense for both your event and your target audience.
For example, partner with a local distillery to create themed cocktails for your event. Or work with a company to make trendy snacks if your event is for teenagers or children. If you need an event platform to help sell tickets or promote your event on social media, check out what Eventbrite has to offer as you create your event from start to finish.
Eventbrite also offers customizable event pages that can coordinate with your overall theme. VIP tickets could include food and drink packages, exclusive swag or props, or the opportunity to be assigned a character who is an important part of the mystery. Keep your theme in mind when choosing an event space. Planning a small event with a Great Gatsby theme?
Consider finding a local speakeasy or cocktail bar. A little mystery is great for Halloween events, but a murder mystery game can work for other holidays as well. Relieve some of the winter holiday stress with a humorous murder mystery party that incorporates seasonal activities and treats.
In some cases, you may want to have the event on a date other than the actual holiday so as not to conflict with the plans of potential attendees. Promote your event on social media by dropping hints about the mystery and giving sneak peeks about the characters. Create a hashtag for the event that attendees can use on Twitter and Instagram both before and during the event and encourage them to post about their experience.
This will also help you generate interest for future events. Sure, you like the idea of hosting a murder mystery, but the do-it-yourself mystery party game kit you've purchased at your local department store or at other Internet sites just didn't offer the challenge that you were looking for. Plus, the instructions were confusing, and it lacked the type of murder mystery plot that guarantees exciting whodunits and dinner entertainment.
Instead of hitting yourself in the head trying to write your own murder mystery parties, you can now download and host a portfolio of thought-provoking murder mystery scenarios, available at your fingertips TODAY. The Pre-party Files zip is an essential part of your murder mystery dinner party or party kit.
It has three folders and two optional sheets. The optional sheets are clearly labelled as optional. They are provided as an editable Word document and the folder name reminds you to save them as a pdf before sending.
Different versions of Word can sometimes display a document with vastly different formatting; saving your file as a pdf ensures that your guests see a nicely formatted invitation. The booklets are individually written for each player and can be printed on two sides of a single A4 sheet and then folded neatly into an A5 booklet. They contain:. The Optional Decorations Tip Sheet is only given for virtual game pack so that you as host can email your guests some easy ideas for decorating the small area where the camera will focus.
A more extensive section of Decorating Tips can be found under the Decorations tab of the "Running Your Murder Mystery Party" section of each game page. The illustration is of Whackem Will's pre-party booklet for a Murder in a s' Speakeasy dinner party. View Sample Pre-Party Booklet. For an At Home murder mystery party or dinner game, this folder has the party booklets for each character usefully divided into Essential-Characters and Optional-or-Minor-Characters folders. It also has all of the clues for all characters in a single Clues document.
Name tags are provided as a pdf; simply print, cut out and then either use a pin to attach to guests' outfits or else glue onto a standard blank adhesive label. For a Virtual mystery game , the host is likely to send or email each guest their own party materials. Therefore the Party Booklets sub-folders are again subdivided into folders for each character; each folder has the party booklet and clues if any that are relevant to that character. This makes it easy for the host to email or post each player the appropriate files.
Whichever option you choose, all the materials are carefully formatted to give players all they need for a fun night to remember! For a detailed look as to how the booklets work, please see our How our Murder Mystery Scripts Work page. Each mystery has an individually designed clue background so that it is theme-appropriate, light on ink when printing and yet still visually attractive.
Most important, the Calibre font is easy for guests to read. The optional Duplicate Map and Accusation Sheet has a duplicate copy of the map found on page 3 of the booklets. This makes it easy for guests to refer to the map without having to flick backwards and forwards. Virtual mysteries include the Accusation Sheet so that guests who are viewing the booklets electronically have somewhere to write their Whodunnit solution; some At Home mysteries have a notepad section instead so guests can scribble notes down as they go along.
The illustration is for Scarlet's booklet in our Murder in the Naughty Nineties dinner party version. We use professional voiceover artists to give life and interest to both the Audio Introduction and the Audio Solution. Then we mix these voices with theme-appropriate background music and, sometimes, background sounds such as birdsong or traffic. The end result is a short on average, a 2 minute Audio Introduction that sets the scene in a light-hearted, fun way.
