Murder Mystery Party Games
New! Coming This Spring!!
First, let us just say, that yes, for those of you who have been asking . . . we do have a new skit-kit in the works . . . Woo-hoo!
In the meantime, we'd like to announce the upcoming release of a whole new format that can be used for mid-sized parties . . .
That's right, we're announcing the upcoming, Spring release of our first Mini Skit-kit . . .
A Jewel-Encrusted Killing or Who Fractured the Fake?
By request, this format is a smaller and simpler version of our very popular skit-kits, which have been favorites for those of you hosting large parties and fundraisers. Even so, some of you have wanted smaller versions . . . so here it comes! Our Mini Skit-kits will feature four different suspects at four different stations or rooms in your home. When your guests arrive at the party, they'll go from room to room and listen to each character's monologue, as well as find clues along the way. They'll also visit the "Scene of the Crime," and then Viola! They'll fill out their Answer Sheets and take a "stab" at solving the crime.
This new format will be so easy to host . . . it won't take much prep time and the characters can "read" instead of memorize their roles. It's perfect for women's groups but can also be used for any at-home party. And here's an added bonus . . . for those of you who host at-home jewelry sales parties -- this mini skit-kit is a fantastic way to display and demonstrate your products! Not only will your guests have fun while trying to solve the mystery, but they can also try on a little jewelry as well . . . Does it get any better than this?
Be sure to watch for a release date . . .
A Jewel-Encrusted Killing
Or
Who Fractured the Fake?
From the desk of Pearl Lustre, President,
Gem and Bauble Society, GaBS
Ladies,
What a glorious year 1955 is turning out to be! Not only has our little club become the talk of our small, Northern California town of Sparkleton, but now we're about to really put ourselves on the map! That's right, Ladies! Hold on to your girdles, because we've made arrangements for the famous traveling jewelry display from the private collection of Miss Emma Thyst, granddaughter of dishwashing soap magnate, Soapy Sudz, to come right here to Sparkleton! Can you believe it? Of course, we have to thank the secretary of our Gem and Bauble Society, Mrs. Moochie Dee Jewels, for contacting Miss Emma Thyst and convincing her to bring her show to our little town. How positively lucky for us all!
Because her fabulous traveling jewelry collection is museum-quality, Miss Thyst is also on the board of the famous Veree Shynee Museum of Antiquities in Cairo, which frequently displays many of her pieces. And yes, you'll be dying to see her latest acquisition, the famous Catabongo necklace which once belonged to Cleopatra herself. Amazing, isn't it? Here we are in the modern age of 1955 and we'll be seeing a necklace that dates back thousands of years! Can you imagine? I'll be graciously hosting this great jewelry show in my own home, and I'll have displays set up in several different rooms. To help out, I've made arrangements for someone to be stationed in each of these rooms, to give more information and answer questions. What could be more fun?
So, Ladies, be sure to be wear your best hats and gloves. After all, we do want to make a good impression on Miss Emma Thyst and show her how sophisticated the women of Sparkleton can be, as you all come to view some jewelry that is positively to die for . . .
