We had so much fun with this party. We had girls ranging from 6-11 and they all loved it. The build up to the party, preparing their talent and picking out costumes, was just as fun as the party itself. The girls told me it was the best party they had been too. We decorated sashes, had milkshakes and snacks, had the evening gown competition, and talent competition. It took about two hours for all of these events.
I did this party for my daughter's 8th birthday party. We made sashes when everyone arrived and explained to them the game. The girls needed help reading their clue cards and we read them as a group as we had a few shy girls although I think it would have been better if they talked amongst themselves as they are supposed to. This made the party go a little quicker than I had anticipated and the girls were able to guess the thief right away. Overall the girls had so much fun and really enjoyed it.
We had a mystery party for my daughter's 8th birthday. The girls really enjoyed it! The party went very smoothly! We sent invitations beforehand with character information, then the girls made their own sashes before starting the game, while we explained the game a bit. None of the girls had ever done a party like this before and due to their age, the girls needed a little help interpreting their clues but once they understood what they game was about they really got into it! We had pizza during the "investigation" round which made for a really fun conversation about who they thought did the crime. Overall I thought this was a really great, fun idea and would definitely recommend this for someone who wants to do something a little different for a birthday party!
