Theme parties can be a fun way to shake up a dinner party with friends! University Games has put out a line of murder mystery games on Amazon, and each game has a unique theme. The games are made for 6-8 people and the host sends out each guest’s character role in advance so they can prepare to dress the part on the night of the party. Here are ideas for a few of the top themes!
A Taste for Wine and Murder
- A wine tasting as guests arrive and before the game begins is a fun way for each person to practice getting into their character.
- Host can set the table with a large charcuterie board for guests to snack on throughout the game.
- Great gift for the winner – a nice bottle of wine.
A Lethal Luau
- A great theme to set up on the back porch with lit tiki torches, leis, and Hawaiian music.
- Poke bowls are getting increasingly popular so a fun idea would be a Build Your Own Poke Bowl Bar.
- Great gift for the winner – a mixed bag of different Kona Coffees and mugs.
A Murder on the Grill
- Table can be set up picnic style with a red and white checkered table cloth, flowers, and BBQ condiments.
- Serve Sangria in mason jars and grill meat and veggie k-bobs for your guests to enjoy.
- Great gift for the winner – a gift card to Omaha Steaks with grilling utensils.
Murder at Mardi Gras
- Cajun music, Mardi Gras beads and masks, and purple, green and gold décor everywhere.
- Serve hurricanes to drink and Cajun dishes such at shrimp etouffe or jambalaya for guests to feast on.
- Great gifts for the winner – a basket of treasures like hurricane mix, t-shirts, glassware and more from Pat O’Briens online.
