The Lesters were hosting another one of their fabulous dinner parties. The invitation list was smaller than usual. The Lesters, and a few of their special family and friends were just about to sit down to enjoy the elaborate dinner Victoria Lester had prepared. The table was breathtaking. As usual Victoria had outdone herself. The diners toasted with a vintage bottle of red wine and sat down to eat. As the food was being passed around the table, Victoria started to choke and cough. Everyone rushed to her side in time to see her fall face first into her food. She was dead...she had been poisoned. Welcome to an evening of murder! This is a 'Party Adventure' designed to create a night of intrigue and excitement for you and your friends. Within the comfort of your living room, you set the stage for solving a murder. You and your guests become the suspects. Each have hidden backgrounds and secret clues. Cast your inhibitions aside, apply your imagination, and determine who the murderer is, how it was done, and why. Game comes with a complete party planner with instructions, costume suggestions, tips, and an optional dinner menu, invitations and name tags for your guests, character profiles with secret clues and backgrounds for each guest, a CD which re-enacts the sounds of the murder and outlines the plot, and the author's solution to the mystery.

A great game for first-timers Jan 11, 2007 By Bud Moeller "Bud"
We have played murder mystery games for New Year's Eve for over 20 years. It's a great, fun tradition! This game was the first we had tried from this company. Each guest is a character and has information to divulge and information to accuse others of the murder. It's an evening of great interaction and mystery.

This game has a more "scripted" feel to it, in that the accusations and reply comments match up, character-to-character. So, it's got more of a feel of reading through a play than of random comments being tossed back and forth all night. For first-timers, this is an easy approach. Every guest we had that night was new to playing murder mystery games and they all loved the evening!

This particular game left a few loose ends that were never explained. Oh well, I guess that's true to life!

What an Evening! Mar 20, 2006 By Diane Stauder
This was the first time that I hosted a murder mystery dinner party and I have to say it was a smash. The kit includes everything you need, all you need to do is cook the food and provide the suspects. Even the shyish people can do this game. I was absolutely amazed at how the guests just started opening up like they were actually the characters, ad libbying, getting really involved. It was great. Only one person got the right answer and won the prize. This game is well worth it if you want something other to do then just sit there and talk. You can do that after the game. Dinner was good too. It gives you a reason to use that beautiful china you have!

Perfect Group Game Sep 04, 2006 By Candy
My friends and I had an awesome night playing this for New Year's! I invited 7 friends over and had them each dress as their character: Mark Lester, Christopher Lester, Robert Carter, William "Big Bill" Bradford, Dorothy May Bradford, Eleanor Hopkins, Desiree Minter and Candice "Candy" Minter. I prepared a fancy dinner with my friend, Katie, and when we had finished I played the CD with the details of the murder. From there we all really started to become our characters and read our parts. All 8 of us had a great time and have our next one planned! I highly recommend this game for anyone!! "An Evening of Murder" comes complete with invitations, name tags, a "sounds of the murder" CD (which basically explains the game to everyone), a party planner (which will help you set things up), the solution and character manuals for everyone. Like I said, it's a lot of fun and you can't go wrong with "An Evening of Murder"!!

Lots of Fun! - a few quibbles Apr 21, 2007 By A. Page
This game was a very fun night for me and my friends. We really got into the game and had lots of fun improvising and accusing each other. There are many surprising twists as the night goes on. If you just go with it, you will have lots of fun! We laughed quite a bit and enjoyed the mystery a great deal.

However, the enclosed CD really doesn't add very much to the game. It has one track that sets up the situation and lets you hear the murder. But the scene is already set up on the invitations and they make you think you are hearing evidence, but the sounds of the murder never come into play again.

Also, DON'T LOOK AT THE CHARACTER BOOKLETS BEFORE THE GAME. A friend and I were trying to decide what characters we wanted to be and were looking in the booklets at the background information. But, we found out who the murderer was because it told us on the first page of one character's book. It didn't make any difference in the game, as we were scripted to accuse other people, but it still ruined the surprise. So be aware that the booklets contain sensitive information. The solution, however, is sealed.

Finally, this game can only be used once. There is only one solution, so unless you don't mind playing it again knowing the answer, you can only use it one time.

Overall, this was a great night! Find people that aren't afraid to get a little crazy, and you'll have fun! I played this with a group of theater people and we really got into it. Highly recommended!

The Most Fun I Have Had In Years! Aug 17, 2006 By Erin M. Poma "E and A"
I ordered and used this game for my own birthday party. The set up and characters for this game are modern and consist of costume suggestions that are realistic but fun. There are 8 characters provided with this game so I improvised and created more. My guests and I laughed and laughed all night long and had a great time. There is a lot of preparation involved if you want to host an amazing Murder Mystery Dinner. This game comes with a CD explaining the instructions and the "sounds of the murder," clue cards for each character, invitations for each of the characters, and the authors solution which is sealed. The only problem, and it was minor, with the game was that the clue cards did not state who should begin speaking in each round. It appeared that everyone was waiting to be prompted by another character to speak. The cards will read like, "Reveal this information after Eleanor's Challenge." It was like that on all of the cards so everybody was waiting to be challenged by someone else before they would speak. I had to improvise to help get the game going, but all in all it was the most fun I have had in years! Excellent game!
