The Story

Setting: The Hippie Homicide story involves characters at Woodstock 1969. The story involves the challenges of running Woodstock, flower power and antiwar protests.

Story: We are gathering for the concert of a generation. Woodstock will see 32 acts play over 4 days. 500,000 people will attend and another 500,000 will be turned away. At the height of the Vietnam war there will be a hippie homicide.

Adult Themes: There is mention of drug use and LSD is a major theme in the story.

Costumes: Guests can come as their favourite 1960s icon e.g. The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin. Or they can dress as a hippie, astronaut, soldier, police officer, Rastafarian, politician, flower child, musician or any 1960s stereotype.

How Do Costumes and Characters Work? To make the game as easy as possible to organise, your guests do not need to dress as any particular character. The costume they wear does not affect the character they play in the murder mystery. You allocate the murder mystery characters on the night of the party. This means that if guests are sick and can't make it or extra friends want to come then there is no impact on running the game.

Normal Use: Hens night, fundraiser or adult party.

Group Size: 4 to 8, 2 to 15, 2 to 60, 60 to 120.

Will you take a tab of LSD and trip back to 1969?

Murder Mystery Games

1960s Costume Ideas

The 1960s brings pictures of social insurgency, peace images, flower power, ocean side cultures, short skirts, flares and loads of hair! Music included Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Dusty Springfield and the Beach Boys. Young ladies resembled Twiggy or Lulu. There are simply just countless 60s symbols and icons to choose from.

Bright and Colourful

For the bright and vivid party goers who are wanting to know what it was to feel like a radical hippie, anything with splash-colour, enormous flower prints, brilliant colourful peace signs or love hearts would generally be adequate clothing for all kinds of people. To enhance your outfit with simple yet innovative ideas, transform peace and flower decorations into fashion accessories and frills. Peace sign necklaces, flowers stick on earrings and hoops and head crowns are simple methods for adding to your 1960s outfit.

Woodstock Vibe

Go for a more earthy vibe by wearing earthy gritty delicate tones for example paisley symbols and soft coloured flowers would turn out similarly for a 1960s party. Don’t hesitate for even a moment to finish your outfit off with a couple of retro peace molded glasses or a crazy bandanna in your hair!
