Very Mysterious Dinner Party Games

Dinner party games can take on the fun of the old board game, Clue, if you serve up a little murder with your menu. It is going to take considerable planning on your part, but hosting a murder mystery is one of the hottest theme party ideas today. There are actually books and websites that will offer suggestions, but feel free to improvise and add your own ideas. As with any party, the mystery dinner party should start with deciding on who to invite and where the party will be. From this, just add a page or two from your favorite Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot and you’ll have the perfect murder mystery.

The theme of your party will follow a murder that has just taken place. Each guest will be a character in your mystery and also a suspect in the murder. A well-planned mystery dinner will provide each guest with information and clues about their character. In addition to trying to prove his or her innocence (they all have a motive, of course), everyone will also be trying to identify the actual killer. Serve up good food and ask leading questions to help your guests pick up on the clues.

Get Creative

At a loss for how to get started? Perhaps a theme will help. You can truly pick any starting point for your mystery dinner and if you leave good clues, the evening will be perfect. You could start out with a cast of characters that everyone knows, such as the castaways on Gilligan’s Island, or the characters on Friends. Then set the plot to rival the best soap operas and weave a tale of mystery and intrigue. Costumes may help establish the theme, as well. And if no one seems close to finding your murderer, you can offer more clues as the party goes on.
