These packages will include ideas for decorations, ideas for
scene setters,
as well as all the information you need. Guests will typically come in costume and play a character in the mystery.
If you want to have a party with a mystery theme, but not act out a mystery, there are lots of other ideas you could do.
Solve riddles, such as Q: I have my own mouse A: A computer
Make up a mystery themed word search puzzle
Name that Bar - a fun (and tasty) game. Select several different types of candy bars. Slice before the party and number them. Let everyone take a taste of each and try to guess what they are. Yummm!
Decorate the party area with cobwebs and other spooky stuff.
Have some magnifying glasses on hand in case anyone wants to look for clues!
Slumber Party Fun
Additional activities that you can add to a sleepover include:
Play fun party games like the board game “Clue”
Watch a mystery movie, such as Nancy Drew
Play the Sleeping Bag Hunt - You'll need objects assigned to each player (such as a magazine, a stuffed animal, a shoe). Have players leave the room while you hide one object inside each sleeping bag. When players return have them try to figure out which sleeping bag has their item. No peeking! (but OK to touch).
Play the Ticking Clock Game – You'll need an alarm clock. While the players are out of the room hide an alarm clock in one sleeping bag. Tell the players that at some point in the evening (unknown to them), the clock is set to go off . When the alarm rings, whoever can find the clock first wins!
