My husband and I held this game back in 1991, and I can still remember this great time we enjoyed. Our friends were so enthusiastic that following the game when we all went out for dessert, we were still dressed and acting like our characters! (Needless to say the waitress staff at the restaurant was rather stunned to see a party of twelve people in full tuxedos and ball gowns walk in at almost 3 in the morning.) The game is engaging and truly a blast to play, and when you finally figure out whodunnit, you may or may not be surprised, but you sure do have fun! It is an absolutely incredible experience to step out of the humdrum life you live and suddenly become someone so exceptionally vile or unbelievably naive. The characters are very well written and are well worth the time invested for the game. If you're going to get this game and use it, make certain to have access to a good costume shop, costumes make the characters easier to remember when breaking for dinner.

I have done three of these with my friends, and this was by far my favorite. All the characters are very interesting, and this murder was certainly the most complex one we have had to solve. The plot is also a little more thought out than the other two, and the costumes for this were the best, provided you want something fancy and elegant and flashy. If you want to relive the excitement of Hollywood in the 1930's, then definitely get this game.

Good fun to dress up and have a great dinner party. Costume suggestions are similar for men and do not allow for elaborate interpretation. Everyone guessed the murderer and plot by the end.

This game was sooo much fun. My friends and I loved it.
