I ordered this party kit for my daughter's 12th birthday party. When it arrived in it's tiny little box, I thought we were sunk! After thumbing through the little booklets I was very impressed. It didn't take much to get things rolling and everyone had a great time! This party kit worked great with 12 yr olds but it would be successful with any age group!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good entertainment for a small group, April 5, 2007

Played this on a Saturday night with my wife and 4 of our children- easy to follow- fit right in with dinner and didn't require much set up at all .
The anticipation created by the sequence of events laid-out for you in the game made it easy to enjoy; the game played within the game made it more fun say than Clue ( although my kids love to play Clue and Clue DVD version). Also,the role playing was interesting and if you give out the roles to the respective players several hours before the game starts , it should make it even more seamless as everyone will be a little more fluid/ at ease playing their part.

We were not expecting much from this $5 version of the more detailed versions, however we were all surprised at how into the characters we all got. We had a great time and were throwing accusations left and right! The only requirement is a group who will really get involved(dressing the parts really helped)!!!
