My Girl Scout troop recently loves this party! It was fun and festive and perfect for their age, 12-13! They loved it!
I am so excited to play this game. We have already started with the invites and the pre-game phone calls. I have never been able to find a mystery game that every age can be involved in. This one is so perfect. With the addition of the games to be played in between each act, the youngest to the oldest can be involved and love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this Halloween party the most memorable.
This product was just okay. I do not think I would purchase again. The girls were excited and stayed character. Characters could have been more descriptive. The mystery played out too quickly even with “additional” games played. Most the girls figured out the character who sabotage the movie. I added actually figure printing the girls to add to the excitement and made the “note” harder to decode. It was a lot of extra work to make it more fun otherwise I think it would have been a complete bust. With all the extra work I put in for the game, I could have created an entire mystery. I gave it three stars because the girls said they had a good time.
Great for playing with the whole family including young teens.
