Murder Mystery Party!

All the most elite and dangerous criminals showed up, from Mary Poppins to Madam X-Ray belly, all to find out who killed Hal Capone.

So Monday October 24, 2011 we hosted a costume/halloween/murder mystery dinner. It was a party for the ages. We had plenty of delicious treats, Brain Punch, teeth apple slices, mummys in a blanket and pizza a la egyptian. For recipes ask Jolynn, we forgot to take pictures of the food but believe me (the fat kid) it was tasty.

The murder mystery part was enjoyable but there was a lot of info to digest, ends up that everyone wanted to be the murder but only one was smart enough to suceed. The crowd included a Baseball player, an assasin, a crooked D.A., a gambler, a club owner, and a casino owner. Not suprising, Jolynn killed the man. It was a confusing process that should have taken a lot longer to complete, but even in speed mode we were in character for a good 1 and a half hours. If you want to host a murder mystery party do it, but plan on 3 hours at least. (the instructions said 7pm to 11pm.)

The next night we did trunk or treat, we kept our same Jack and Sally costumes, but by night two I replaced the mask for face paint and lost a good chunk of the masking tape that I had on my suit so I wasn't as pin stripy. We did a little trunk decorating and made all the kids who wanted seconds tell us some jokes to get their candy. Best joke winner was "knock knock, Who's there? Ya... Ya who....dot com" Brilliant. Halloween has been great so far, just a few more days to go.
