Murder Mystery Synopsis:
The Oceanside Palace Hotel of Maui was hosting their nightly luau on Sunset Beach. Exciting Polynesian spirit filled the air as the guests were greeted with festive Hawaiian leis. Everybody mingled while enjoying delicious appetizers. The celebration kicked off with fun party games, but it became apparent that some guests didn’t get along and others were hiding scandalous secrets. The party forged on with a delicious Hawaiian dinner while the guests enjoyed a fun challenge. With stuffed bellies, the luau party-goers gossiped and laughed, and to everyone’s horror, a dead body was discovered! The guests rallied together and underwent a thorough investigation including a fiber analysis provided by the local police department.
Taking short breaks to relieve the stress of the investigation, they engaged in more exciting party games. They took turns accusing the suspects they believed were guilty, and everyone came clean with their involvement in the crime. Backed into a corner, the murderer confessed! After a brave escape attempt by the killer, the guests enjoyed a delectable dessert and reflected on the evening’s exciting events! It was a luau that the guests will remember forever!

Birthday Party Fun
We were looking for something different to do as we celebrated my husband's birthday. This luau murder mystety fit the bill! We had 11 people participate and they all had a great time! This was so well organized that it was easy for me to plan. As I read the info, I was fearful that it seemed a little involved but it worked out just great! Our oldest guest wad 96 and she could even participate with some help! Appetizers and dinner were good at breaking the rounds up. I would purchase another game from this company!

A Murder at the Luau
What a fabulous night! A lot of organising went into the clues, envelopes, name tags etc. On the night, it all worked out and it was all worth it. We went above and beyond with props to heighten the impact of each of the characters. Some went above and beyond with their acting, it was hilarious. This was a fun and easy theme for everyone to get into, I would recommend this game to others. Just allow enough time for all the stationery tasks.
