Murder Mystery dinner

We had a murder mystery dinner party last week with some of our neighbors. We got the game for Christmas and had never played it yet (thanks Darren and Tina...that was a great present!). We decided a couple of weeks ago that we had to finally play it so we invited our friends and they really played the part! It was based on a 1950's barbecue where our mutual friend was murdered and we had to figure out who did it. They were all dressed up and were hilarious. There were times that we couldn't tell if they were acting or not. They were very convincing. It was a great night and we had a blast. This is Layne and Laury. She was the Miss Kansas City and he was a musician, "Chubby Cheddar." They were so funny and she was very convincing in her role. This is Travis and Holly and Cody and D'Le. Travis was a Russian rocket scientist, Holly was the local tramp, Cody was a mechanic and D'Le was a 50's teenager. We were kind of the extras for the game. Our parts really weren't very fun but we had a great time watching the others. We weren't there when the murder happened but showed up shortly afterward so we were there to help solve the crime but we weren't suspects. I was a newspaper journalist and Paul was an actor that played a detective in a television drama.

Those are really fun! Chris and I did one of those when we were "hanging out." I loved it! That would be fun to do again. Thanks for the idea!
