Murder Mystery Synopsis:
Welcome to the Oceanside Palace Hotel of Maui, where our nightly luaus at Sunset Beach go beyond mere festivities to become legendary tales of mystery, joy, and suspense. Immerse yourself in the Polynesian spirit as it whirls around you, setting the stage for an adventure unlike any other. Upon arrival, a vibrant Hawaiian lei will be your first token of the evening, a prelude to a night filled with delectable appetizers, spellbinding party games, and unforeseen interactions. Yet, tread lightly — beneath the veneer of warmth and celebration, a cauldron of secrets bubbles, and hidden agendas await.
Forget the notion of an ordinary luau—each celebration is a grand affair destined to leave an indelible mark on all who partake. Prepare for an evening drenched in luxury and cloaked in mystery at the grand Oceanside Palace Hotel—the night beckons with promises of surprises, revelations, and perhaps an element of peril.

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.
