I hosted a party and everyone had an incredible time ! The 1960’s theme was so much fun. Everyone wore far out 60’s styles ! It was Groovy!! Highly recommend this one !
Oh my gosh! This was my second murder party and let me tell you we all really got into it. Everyone dressed up and I of course had appetizers, dinner and dessert. The evening was full of role playing and they really did a great job acting. I got creative with making all the props including a VW Bus for photos. This was everyone's second party and we all just loved the heck out of it. Now they are asking me what are we doing this year? Thank you so much!
Easy to comprehend! It was such a fun party and we will certainly do this again!
