This review is from: How to Host a Murder - Roman Ruins (Toy)

We had a group of 16 friends for our 7th Murder Mystery party and it was great fun. We had 8 suspects and 8 non-suspects (made up parts such as Marcus Discus, Augustus Hotus, Biggus Bonus and Lexus Maximus). This mystery was rather complicated, but our group is very experienced and fun loving.
Costumes were incredible, food was right out of a Roman Feast (got ideas online, rather than suggestions that came with the game).
We've discovered that giving each suspect a copy of their players manual (sans last page) prior to the party, really helps them understand their part and keeps the game flowing along without loss of clues or confusion. This was one of our favorites!

This was very much fun and had my friends on the edge of their seats to turn the page and find out what crazy things their person did next. It made for an exciting evening, especially if you decorate( and indoor fountain really completed the decorations!) and the only bad thing I would say is that the characters had many affairs with other characters, therefore, I wouldn,t reccomend it for anyone under 13 or so.

We had a blast with this dinner party. Costumes were relatively easy and fun to put together. Story was very engaging and all the characters seemed well developed (which isn't always true of these games). Highly recommend!
