The murder mystery party was this weekend. It was absolutely awesome. The party wasn’t a disaster as I previously said it could be. It was a great time, and everyone did their characters wonderfully. I went balls to the wall with my character. I shaved a goatee and even grew out my hair and then shaved the top of my head to look like an old creepy dealer. I also put on a southern draw, and talked a little slower. I thought my character was pretty fun.

The rundown of the party was basically celebrating and socializing for 3 hours. We met each other’s characters, flirted with our “love” interests, and complete our character’s objectives. This of course was done while putting down a ridiculous number of liquor drinks. That’s right, we made our murder mystery party a bring your own fifth liquor party. Things got pretty out of hand pretty quickly.

My objectives were to protect my love interest and please my boss the casino owner. I thought I did a good job of both. After the socializing, we got called into the living for a toast to the casino’s success and the lights went out and my roommate “the high roller” was “dead” on the ground when the lights came back on. We then all acted shocked and my roommate then went into another room and came back as the inspector sent to investigate the murderer. Overall, It was great and well done. Obviously everyone knew the murder was coming when he had the toast, and the only thing I knew was that I wasn’t getting murdred (cause i didn’t know to fall down). We then went around doing our own interrogations and determining motives from the other guests. Everyone had a motive and there were a few piece of evidence as well.

In the end, I ended up guessing wrong. But I leveled myself because I didn’t think there was anyway that the murderer could be so obvious. Only one person in the party got it right, and he won more alcohol. The cast of the party was as follows:

Casino Owner
Casino Owner’s Wife
Casino Owner’s Daughter
Casino dealer (me)
Elvis Impersonator
News Reporter
Security Guard
High Roller
Showgirl
The High Roller’s wife
Bartender
Waitress
Bookie
Piano Player

I think I got everyone. The party was kinda elaborate and there was a “script” to follow basically. I can’t imagine coming up with our own characters and storyline. I think we are gonna try to do another one sometime in the future. Perhaps a high school reunion theme!

After the party, we went to a local bar in costume and got trashed further. Overall, it was a great night. Here’s some pictures from my facebook album:
