Summary: loved it
Comment: This was the third murder mystery game me and friends have played. Two by Max Haines. I loved the Max Haines games. They keep you involved in the game and not to much reading to yourself that other game had. With the interaction going on it made it really fun. We had a blast and will be purchasing more Max Haines games.

Summary: An Evening of Fun
Comment: I recently used this game, and it was a huge success. I really liked all the characters. They were all unique enough that you could really create and character that would be fun and interesting, but they were also realistic enough to be believable, unlike the characters in some of the other mystery party games. The fact that the characters were more realistic also made it easier for everyone to be comfortable in their parts.
The game went well, although it was just barely two hours long, and that was with taking short breaks between scenes and with people embellishing a bit on their information. But the story is well written and all the parts are interesting. Everyone there agreed that 8 people was a perfect number, and we liked that the murderer DOES know that they're the murderer.
All in all a great time, that's pretty simple for a first-timer. If you're hosting this party, my one suggestion is to make sure you have wine charms on the wine glasses- it's not specifically mentioned in the instructions and it becomes kinda important to the plot. Also, we took a break inbetween scenes during which everyone read their information for the next scene. That way they weren't just reading the info and they could feel more comfortable in their characters.
I'm definitely planning on buying the other game by this company.
