Murder Mystery Dinners?

Does anyone know how to plan and run one of these? They seem interesting, but I've never been to one or run one. I have run a few live action role plays, though.

sounds fun.  if you figure it out, update.

Apparently they have kits, but you need at least 8 guests to play on this one site I came from. But it gave me some idea of what to do. You send out invites with each person's character in it and a small summary of the night. Then when your guests arrive, you give them a rundown of the description. Then you let them mingle around in character. Then someone dies, and the guests try to find out who it was. At the end of the night the murderer is announced. Prizes are given out for best dressed and stuff, and of course, figuring out the murderer. At some point I think I'm going to buy one of the kits and see if there's a way for me to shrink it down.

Brilliant idea! I may do this when it is my turn to have all of the company's wives over.

[Nicole Diver]

That sounds actually like a really fun time.

They are very popular in the UK mainly big venues hosts them for an evening or over a weekend, quite alot of organising I would say but sounds fun
