Product Description

This popular How to Host a Murder game comes in a limited edition embossed collector's tin. The scene for this game is 1959 in a small town in the USA. The local high school class of 1954 has scheduled its 5th year reunion to coincide with the return of Rockford "Rock" N. Roley, the student who became a famous rock 'n roll star. Excitement is running high until the recollection of a high school prank leads to the discovery of murder! You'll be "most likely to succeed" at unraveling the mystery if you'll do a little homework into the history of the fascinating members of the class of '54. All games in the How to Host a Murder series begin with a murder and ends with the unmasking of the culprit. But not before dinner, guessing, and lots of laughs. In each of four rounds, layers of a complex murder mystery are peeled away as you question every response. Each character has motive and opportunity to commit the crime. No one knows the murderer until the last minute of the party! How to host a Murder is simply the best murder mystery game. How to Host a Murder delivers the highest quality game play in the murder/mystery genre--humor, character depth, and a sophisticated story.

This review is from: How to Host a Murder: Class of 54 Tin (Toy)

For my birthday party last year I was inspired to host a murder mystery theme, as I remembered seeing these tins sitting in the old library in the town I grew up in. I did some research on Amazon.com seeing that there are other manufacturers of murder party sets. I selected this one from Decipher Inc. because the reviews were better and the kit came with a script and better organized. There are only scripts for 8 people; however, I had a couple of additional guests who listened to the others read and became involved with the questioning and accusations. Most of the guests didn't know know each other, some were nervous reading or didn't read well, but the mystery went very smoothly and by the end everyone was comfortable and had made new friends. I feel that in a few years I can host this murder mystery again; in the meanwhile, I will be purchasing another murder mystery from Decipher Inc.
