Invite your friends to dress up and play the roles of the devious suspects (each with his or her own character booklet with roles and background info): Rocco Scarfazzi, Mama Rosa, Marco Roni, Bo Jalais, Angel Roni, Tara Misu, Father Al Fredo, and Clair Voyant. This mystery dinner party game for adults includes recipes, a shopping list, invitations and a tasty murder mystery to solve. For 8 adult players, ages 18 and up.

Review: Excellent Party! (Tips in review!) - This game was so fun! I can't wait to play the other ones in the series! I read the reviews and all of the advice and this is what worked for us: -Tell your guests waaay ahead of time. I gauged interest a little over a month. -Give your guests their character name/description (or the invitation!) at least a month in advanced so that they can prepare their costumes. I just scanned the character descriptions and sent my guests a PDF via email. -Set the scene! I had a lot of fun decorating. I put crime scene tape all over my hard and outlined a body in my porch. I also had a mug shot back drop to photograph all of my guests. I also enjoyed using my nice dishes and linens. -I didn't use any of the menu recommendations. The menu has nothing to do with the script so if you wanted to go way out into left field, go forth. I served Pioneer Woman's baked ziti, garlic bread, caesar salad, and Italian love cake. It was spectacular. -When your guests arrive, prepare them. Someone is going to find out that they're the murderer immediately. I think that's important because I cannot keep a secret and would instantly smile. My guests were nervous about the same. We all agreed that we would read the first page with our faces covered and then all give our best "I'm the murderer" face. It worked like a charm. -We did not use the CD. I started to, but it was really lame. It didn't change game play at all. And I really liked that they gave us the option. -It's really a lot of information (especially or the host, who needs to know and explain the rules), but once you get started, it's easy. The first round really warms you up. -For us, the most confusing part was after each scripted scenes, you have to make accusations and then respond. It gets a little hairy, especially if the murderer doesn't have a good answer. The murderer needs to be a good liar and prepared to make up a story on the fly. BUT! Everyone else is reading their responses to accusations and the murderer is just making it up, it's definitely suspicious. To counter that, you should make sure your guests don't read directly from their booklets. They should read the page thoroughly, reference it while speaking, but shouldn't read from it. This is especially important in round 3. We also didn't realize that guests should form their own questions, not just the ones listed in the booklet. -Some reviews stated that it was difficult for the characters to understand when to reveal clues. It was obvious to us as the accusation says, "REVEAL CLUE!" Perhaps those reviewers didn't know that all accusations should have been made each round. It's confusing because anyone can make an accusation, but some of them feel like they should be in order. Sometimes we would piggy back on one another. For example, someone would say, "Marco, you did it because [some reason or another]!" And before Marco could answer, another character would say, "That's a good point, and Marco, what about [this other reason that you're probably the murderer]?" and Marco would respond. And maybe he could evade answering all of accusations. -Some reviews said that two characters weren't really critical and you could play without them. I don't think that's true. In fact, when it was time to make a formal accusations, Clair and Father Alfredo each got a vote. They were definitely involved and definitely good suspects. I almost didn't invite a 7th and 8th guest and I'm glad I did. The party may have been ruined. My version is definitely made for 8 characters. -I had prizes for each of my guests. The murderer obviously wouldn't win, so they received a prize, and then any guest who guessed correctly. Only one person did! I gave out a gift card, K cups, and little bottles of liquor. Overall, it was so fun. My guests really enjoyed it. I thought it was put together well. Now that I've played one, I'll feel better prepared trying out the others.
Review: Came with everything you need! - Game was fun, had everything we needed to play! There were even recipes :) invitations were cute and the character profiles came with costume ideas. It was my first time hosting a Murder Mystery dinner and I will definitely do it again :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why should players be 18 and older?**
A: it is an adult game because it has innuendos that somebody under the age of 18 would not understand or be able to relate to

**Q: How many can play?**
A: The game is written with eight characters; however, additional people can play as "background" characters.  They won't have scripted lines, but could ask questions of the scripted characters, etc.  They could also make assumptions.  They can be assigned roles by the host/hostess to partake in the fun - such as detective, witness, neighbor, etc.  There's no limit to what you can adapt.  Just have fun with it!

**Q: I'm interested in throwing a murder mystery party but I have no experience. Is this a good first kit or is there something else that would be better?**
A: This is the first kit that we used when we threw a murder mystery party. Easy instructions. We have everything packaged in plastic bags too.

**Q: what are the names of the charaters in the marde gras game?**
A: Characters are Matthew "Gator Crovitz, Alexis DuPre, Bourbon DuPre, Melissa F. DuPre, Connika Gothika, J. Stephen Peek, Cayenne Pepper, and Elise St. Gresch
