Murder Mystery Party celebrating 2010!!

Last night, we decided to host a Murder Mystery dinner party to help us usher in the New Year. It was a huge success and loads of fun to play! We all dressed the part and acted silly trying to portray our character!! That was really the best part of playing the game. The accusations were flying around the room and our creative juices were flowing!! The setting for the story was during the Nazi occupation of Paris in 1940. All 8 guests were invited to board a train leaving Paris for Southern France. But sometime during the train ride, a murder occurred, and we were all suspects!!! Our job was to figure out who did it! Through a series of clues revealed periodically during the evening, we threw accusations at each other trying to be the super sleuth to solve the mystery.

Could it be Belinda, couturière extraordinaire?


Or The Duke (the swashbuckler)?


Of course, it could also be Wey, an RAF officer shot down during a mission over France because he mistook a cow pasture for a military runway...


Or Barbra, the heiress to a perfume empire...


But then again, Mary (quite contrary), the prize winning reporter, may have had a reason...


As well as Mal, whose ubiquitous profession as an "importer/exporter" raised lots of eyebrows....


And Princess Idelle's idle chatter led to lots of speculation...


While Khover's business dealings between Paris and Berlin were always a mystery.


All the characters had a motive for committing the murder, but only one DID it....

Sadly, none of us figured it out, but that didn't really matter as the process was more fun than the solution!!
