Where can we play these large group games?

Within the format of our murder mystery games you are also involved in parlor games and trivia as well as sharing clues, sleuthing and working out a killer. You can have a murder mystery party for large groups in an indoor or outdoor area. If you are having it indoors then book your venue early and make sure it is big enough. A murder mystery party can work in small areas inside but people still need to move and mingle. If you are using it as a picnic game outdoors, then again pick a suitable venue. If you hold an outdoor event your presenter's voice won't travel far and so you really want to consider a microphone while you are playing the game outside.

- Prepare 5 more name badges than you need as some people will want to change.
- Estimate the numbers of boys and girls and prepare an appropriate number of name badges.
- Use generic boy/girl characters where possible.
- Try and distribute central characters evenly so they don’t all end up in one group.
- If possible give central name badges to the more gregarious people.
- If possible try and match character names to the guests costumes.
- If you have 40 guests, walk around with 35 name badges so you know all the central characters will get given out.
- Try and aim for a maximum of 8 people per team.
- Good team combinations: 4 teams of 4, 5 or 6, 5 or 6 teams of 4, 5, 6 or 7, 7 or 8 teams of 7 or 8.
