Once you’ve downloaded your murder mystery dinner party kit from one of the sites I reviewed in my previous post (Top 5 Murder Mystery Party Kits Sites) then the first step in your mystery party preparation is done. Now, to get the maximum out of these party kits, just follow these 5 simple tips and you’ll be hosting a very successful murder mystery dinner party with ease!

1. For a Successful Murder Mystery Dinner Party: First, Set the Scene

All the murder mystery kits from the sites listed in my previous post include additional tips for decorating your room to create the right setting and atmosphere, tips on costumes and props and tips on what menu to serve at your mystery party. The supplier will have provided detailed tips specific to each party kit. A little bit of thought into creating the right atmosphere with the décor, food, background music and costume will help you and your guests to really get into character. These props will not cost you very much; you may even have all you need around your home already.

2. For More Ideas Have a Look at the Forums

The 5 sites I listed earlier all have customer feedback, stories and forums on their site. Here you can find some great additional tips as well as photos of costumes and décor. It is always useful to see how different people have used the same product. With these forums and customer ideas you can start to develop your party plan and put your own ideas to it to make it a party to suit you and your guests.

3. Give Your Guests Time to Prepare
The party kit you’ve downloaded will give you details on what and when to send out the information to your guests. They will want to prepare for their own character; read the character’s background and make or buy their costume. So make sure you give your guests plenty of time to get ready for your party.

4. Keep It to Yourself!
Each guest will know different facts or secrets depending on their character. But to keep the mystery it is important not to discuss the details with the others, so try to gently impress on your guests that they should keep it to themselves until the party!

5. Relax and Enjoy
Party time and now is the time for sharing. But you don’t need to be a great actor, just chat to each other, ask questions, collect and share information. Each character will have been briefed on their tasks for the evening so everyone will already have an idea of the questions they need to get info for. So relax and get talking to the other characters.

If you want to host a successful murder mystery dinner party, follow these simple preparation tips. Relax and join in with the fun to enjoy a dinner party with a difference with your friends and family.
