Detective Party

Home -> Kid Party Ideas -> Detective Party

I have long been a fan of the mystery.

From my early years, when I devoured every Nancy Drew or Hardy Boy mystery I could find, to today, when I still love to read, what (and play!) detective.

My favorite detective movies are the old Thin Man Movies. Not exactly appropriate for the kids - but I love them!

Whether you are planning a detective theme party or mystery party, the theme will involve a mystery or scavenger hunt of some kind.

The mystery can also lend itself well for slumber party games, with a mystery or hunt happening throughout the evening.

Fun Detective Birthday Party Ideas:

Have everyone take their fingerprints, or do other "detective training" exercises.

Have a grab bag of disguise materials and let everyone create their own disguise. You could even play musical dress up as a fun way to create a disguise.

Play fun games such as Mystery Date or the famous Clue Game.

At a slumber party, watch the Nancy Drew Movie.

For older guests, play one of the mystery party game plans from the SimpliFun Studios website! They have scavenger hunts for kids as young as 5 and mystery parties planned out for kids for ages 9 and up.

Creating your own Case to Solve

If you'd like to create your own mystery, with a little planning it can be done.

Read all about the mystery party I recently created.

It was a lot of fun, as a matter of fact, it was one of the favorite parties I've ever planned.

You can also have fun going on a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt.
