Murder Mystery Parties!

In Episode 36 of the Whole Shebang Podcast, hosts Bailey and Raquel discuss murder mystery parties, explaining how murder mystery game kits assign characters, provide scripts, and end with voting to reveal the killer; they note parties can scale up to 25 players and are best when guests fully commit to costumes and roleplay. They recap three past events: a successful high-school garden party with an early-1900s/Victorian vibe and wild boar food, a Hawaiian luau-themed party that flopped due to weather and missing guests (forcing players to take multiple roles), and a strong witch-coven themed mystery hosted in a backyard man-cave with fog machine, tarot props, and a staged “ghost” victim. They plan a new masquerade ball murder mystery (replayable with random murderer), discuss dates, invitations, masks, decor, and potential guests, and invite listeners to share their favorite murder mystery games.Follow us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewholeshebangpod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.whole.shebang2025Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586061363648Listen: Buzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2437848/episodesSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1WDYurvTa3avl897E7Y2t6ApplePodcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-whole-shebang/id1794011520Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/67d20e35-c583-41fb-ae83-f8e9aba7f016/the-whole-shebang
