Host a Murder Mystery Dinner! THE BEST WAY TO CELEBRATE MYSTERY MONTH
Did you know May is Mystery Month? There are dozens of ways to celebrate this enigmatic occasion, from playing Clue to rewatching “Glass Onion” — but why not bring those experiences to life and host your own murder mystery dinner at home? Thanks to a plethora of kits on the market, doing so is easier than ever! WHAT IS A MURDER MYSTERY DINNER? A murder mystery dinner is essentially a real-life game of Clue. You invite friends over for dinner and turn your home into the set of “Knives Out” — without the blood, of course. Each of your friends takes on the persona of a character in the story, and when one of them is “murdered,” you compete to uncover who dunnit. STEP 1: PICK YOUR KIT. Planning a murder mystery dinner from scratch would take the ingenuity of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Luckily, you have several ready-made mysteries to choose from! You can find boxes from Masters of Mystery and My Mystery Party at your local board game store, but you can find many options available online, too. Night of Mystery ( NightOfMystery.com ), for example, sells both in-person and virtual kits with themes ranging from ‘80s prom to Christmas homicide. If your friends and family don’t like the idea of acting and dressing up, that’s okay — you can still solve a mystery over dinner! Look into kits available through Unsolved
Case Files (UnsolvedCaseFiles.com ) or Hunt A Killer ( Shop.HuntAKiller.com ), which involve collaborative mystery-solving without the character work. STEP 2: CURATE YOUR GUEST LIST. Most murder mystery dinners require at least four people, while some include characters for six, eight, or more! Check the number of players on your kit and invite your most creative, analytical, theatrical, and mystery-loving friends. STEP 3: DECORATE AND PLAN THE MENU. If you choose a themed murder mystery, level up your event with a matching menu and decor! For games taking place in England, whip up a shepherd’s pie and make a cardboard cutout of Big Ben. For Havana Nights, plan a build-your-own Cubano bar and throw on an Afro-Cuban playlist. You can be as over-the-top as you like. Remember, it’s Mystery Month!
“Caring Modern Dentistry was recommended by a family member. I was indeed curious on how my first visit would go. First of all, everyone was extremely polite. The doctor and his associate were indeed quite professional. They made you feel like family. I will make a second appointment.” –BERNICE M. “Everyone was so welcoming and professional. I thoroughly appreciated everyone I met and that’s saying a lot about a visit to the dentist office. Thanks so much for your service and the classy manner the services were delivered. I look forward to a wonderful relationship with my new dentist and staff.” –JOELLE “First time to a dentist in over 15 years and Nicole really went above and beyond to make me feel so comfortable! She explained everything in detail, and by the end of my appointment, I was so excited to get started on my oral health care journey to a beautiful smile! Thank you Nicole and the rest of the staff for being so kind and wonderful to me and the rest of my family who go there! I really wish there were 100 stars to give you all!” –SHANNON S.
