What fun!

Can I come as Jilly’s +1. This sounds like so much fun!!

Gosh, it’d be awful if I had to kill Jilly’s plus one just to score an invite to a murder mystery party…

No offense, of couse bbstx.

😎

😂

How fun. Where did you get the idea and how does this work?

Love this idea! Our golf club has these periodically, with actor / participants from the footlights theatre group here sprinkled in amongst the diners. Having one at home would be a lot of fun but you must be exhausted from when it is finally over. The printing alone….!!! Please post more pictures—- adding, I am interested in your costumes!

@Jilly@bbstx@jojoco - well I could use a good maid and butler LOL. Actually DH and I once functioned that way but not as much fun being extras.

Love the attention to detail.

ETA I can hear the wheels spinning in Mtn’s head all the way down here in Florida.

Ooohh… I could be the butler. I’m built a bit like Carson. 😂

@mtnrdredux_gw - It is a game series entitled How To Host A Murder. Unfortunately they’re out if print but I’ve found new ones on Ebay. This game series requires 8 people - 4 men and 4 women characters. it isn’t necessary to go to our extent to make the game fun, I just like to entertain and create an environment. Check them out, there are quite a few different themes.

@Kswl - Yes, this coming week will be busy but I stage things so the evening runs smoothly. DH is big help with the room settings. A few days afterwards I will post some event pix.

Fun!

@eld6161 - Well, NOT Florida here! Had 6” of snow yesterday and forecast for event day is 4 degrees. We’ll have plenty of warmth though.

Someone gave me one of those games once. I think it was a Christmas present. We never used it. I believe it got tossed in a move. DRAT!

For anyone interested, this link has pix I posted following last years event.

What fun!! Looks like you have a great group of friends who really get into it!

Stand aside. I am Jilly's +1.

This looks like sooooo much fun! I can imagine your guests looking forward eagerly to the next one!

I like how they all dress for the part.

A perfect activity to do on a winter evening.

Now I remember seeing those pictures, the opera gloves and aviator especially! Looking forward to hearing how this year’s mystery goes, Fmroberts 👍👍

Everyones comment is very rewarding and much appreciated. It would be nice to have you participate but @Jilly, kindly leave the karoke behind - I carry my tune in a bucket that’s never with me - LOL.

Our guests are members of a car club to which we belong. We’ve traveled weekends and longer with them as couples or part of a larger event. DH enjoys bourbon with the men and they’re arranging a distillery tour in KY this summer. Spouses will shop!

Shopping will be Tuesday, let the final prep begin. Pix next week.

You are my kind of people! Car club, bourbon tours, shopping, murder mystery parties.

Ok, ok … I won’t do my KC Karaoke Hour to the backdrop of finding the culprit. Darn it.

@jilly - Off topic - IF you like cars then we are connected!

OMG MY DREAM VETTE!

Just gorgeous!

My dad raced cars before I was born, and has been showing cars, trucks, and motorcycles for the past 30+ yrs. He’s been featured in magazines. It’s in my blood. :)

@Jilly - I recall you commenting that your Dad being in to motorcycles.

This is likely our final sports car. DH has owned Corvettes since the 60’s, we once owned 3. Though he has raced, and has a track certification, he doesn’t anymore - we’re mid-70’s and it’s a sport for younger drivers.

I don’t currently have a hot rod, and miss it very much. I’m a Pontiac girl, so always had Firebirds.

Although the ’80’s vettes were not my fav body style, we considered getting this ’82 a couple of years ago from a friend:

The interior and exterior were great, but it needed more engine work than we wanted to deal with.

I wish I had all the vettes my dad ever owned, late ’50s and on. His ’68 would be my dream. :)
