I bought this for my daughter's 13 birthday party. She called her friends ahead of time to make sure they could be there. She passed out her invites the next day. We played with all girls and it was wondeful! They all arrived on time in costume and were very excited as none of them had ever played a game like this before! It was a little confusing at first so we got off to a slow start, but once they got into it....wow!! They did NOT want to stop!! I alloted 4 hours, time for food and presents, but still we only needed about 3. It was really fun!!

We played this game at my 12th birthday party - it was a blast! No one knew who the culprit was until the very end - which kept everybody guessing & interested. My mom planned a luau for the event, and we took breaks between rounds with the different meal courses - that was a perfect arrangement. The game took us about 4 hours to complete, but the time passed so quickly because of the great fun! For folks who might have a bit of trouble reading, this may not be the game for you - as all of the game (except for the guesssing) has to be read from the booklets. You'll have the most fun if everyone really gets into it & dresses up & are natural Drama Queens & Kings!

I was invited to a birthday party and we did this mystery there. I was assigned the part of Koushpa Tater. I loved dressing up for my charecter. Everyone had a such a great time. It made me want to do a teen mystery for my birthday. One of the best things about this mystery is that your charecter turns out to be pretty different than what your invitation says. I think the company should make more mysteries like this.

I went to my friends house for this party and it was so much fun! I went as Dexter Terristrial! It was sort of scary in a fun way by the end we were not wanting to go home! I think the invitations were really cool and the player manuals were too! I think you should get this I have had Hot times at Hollywood High and I thik this one is much better!

There's good and bad aspects to this game that potential buyers really ought to know. To start with the bad news, the game is not durable at all. Once the solution is worked out it cannot be played again by any of the same players. One thing you should make sure of then is that none of your potential guests have played this before (you might want to do this even before you buy the game).

Another weakness is the plot, which is what you are trying to put together to find the bad guy/girl. There are way too many red herrings, over too many hours, to try to deduce the culprit. The actual chain of events is very obscure and the clues don't clearly illuminate it. This means that however much fun you and your friends have in playing the characters at the end it's a dissatisfying experience in terms of solving a mystery.

Overall I'd say it's a good way to have some fun if you just want a laugh and don't care too much about the outcome or how you got there.

I went to a friends party and had so much fun! Everyone thought it was themselves. no one figered it out ,we had to revel it then everyone said I thought it was her!!Arter the party we all talked about it Sheree said I didnt think it was me [she was the alien]

I just bought this game and I am planning to have the party soon. I drew parts and I will play Twyla Zoan. I cannot wait. I am just wondering how the conversation will flow and how the clues work. I think it will be a lot of fun. I hope everyone dresses up. I'm planning to serve the right food and make it seem like a luau!
