For years, I've been itching to throw or go to a murder mystery party, or one of those dinner mystery theater events. They've been around forever, even back in the days when the directions would be played on one of those foldable records. But have you heard of a mystery tea party? While searching for something else entirely unrelated, I came across Maxine's Mystery Tea Parties.
Basically, instead of some evening party with cocktails, you solve your mystery over some tasty tea. You can buy the scenarios, which include story and script, nametags, tips, and more, in a downloadable or snail mail format, and they include mysteries like "Who Killed the Darling Duke of Darjeeling?," "The Decadent Housewives of Hysteria Lane," and "The Bodacious Babes of Buzzard Bend."
Have any of you ever bought or participated in one of these? Or made your own mystery tea party? I don't know why I never thought of it, but now I'm wondering if I should scheme up one of my own.
