Mystery at the Oster Awards
Non-murder mystery party in a celebrity awards banquet theme for 8-16 female guests, ages 11 to adult (albeit it is an easier sleuth than our other adult games, given the minimum age). This party may be hosted in a home. The case involves a stolen award trophy. This is the instant download upon purchase version of the game. There's nothing to be shipped, as you'll have everything you need with the download - no waiting, no shipping fees! Easy to host, easy to prepare.
There are multiple PDF files to download with this game - a host instruction file, printable file, solution key, and an optional invitation. You must use Adobe Reader (free software that you can download at Adobe.com) to view the PDF, as a PDF is an Adobe product or you will face problems with the PDF files, as PDF files are Adobe products.
Format: this is a traditional, mingling, clue-based game (downloadable version) for in-person groups. For virtually-formatted games that are ideal for video chat platforms, click here.
Gifting: the standard game license does not allow transfers, so you cannot purchase a download as a gift. For gifts, click here for gift certificates, or use the link below for the boxed version of the game (party pack).

Get ready for FUN!!
My purchase was the 100th Annual Oster Awards set, do-it-yourself kit. It was perfect for my daughter’s 12th birthday. Our 18 guests were mainly 9-14 year olds. We played 3 of the suggested games while we waited for late arrivals & in between rounds. Kids were completely engaged and 3 were able guess the “thief”. We purchased party products from our local store to support our economy

Fabulous!
I would highly recommend this product. We hosted a party for 22 girls for my daughter's 12th birthday. It was an easy theme and an easy party to host. Everyone was super excited to attend and felt it was a unique way to celebrate a birthday. I have never attended a Mystery Party, so I was concerned it would be difficult to host. However, my daughter really wanted to have a Mystery Party, so I went for it and I'm glad I did. The directions are very detailed and easy to follow. The customer service is impeccable. They were quick and thorough...even answering emails late at night. I highly recommend this party and this website. I will definitely use them again and have already recommended them to many friends who asked after their daughter's attended the party and had so much fun!

Great for teens
This is a great choice for teens. I had 21 girls so I purchased the extended package. I loved that all the roles dressed the same. It was my daughter's 13th birthday party and since not all the people RSVPs, I did my invites as Hollywood theme and asked all the girls to dress up. I handed them the roles when they arrived. The kids had a blast. It is a good way to entertain teens at a party. The only negative thing I can say is the extended package had two male roles. Not sure why when the other 22 are females. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From MyMysteryParty.com Staff: The additional male roles are due to a large demand of roles for 1-2 brother(s) who may be around the same age as the partygoers. That's why they were added on to the expansion pack. We're glad you enjoyed the party!

Tweens have fun!!
I purchased this Mystery for my 11 year old's birthday party and the girls had a blast. They all participated and acted their characters. Definitely recommend it!

Had a great time
With a group of twelve 13 year olds, all of the guests got into character and kept the game going strong. They were upset when it ended! Will be doing another game soon, as the girls keep asking for it!
