Here is a group photo from Christan's "Who Stole The Cookies?" party:
Christan sent in this feedback about his party: "I purchased this kit to use as a culminating activity for my sixth grade Honors students after they completed a long-term reading and writing unit on mysteries. The students had a blast dressing up and acting like their characters, eating from the fairy tale- and mystery- themed menu (Fairy Dust Caviar, Make-Believe Sushi, Red Herring Cake, and Mad Hatter's Tea), and participating in the mystery. The students were able to have fun while using their knowledge about foreshadowing, red herrings, motives, and other characteristics of mysteries to help them solve the crime! The kids enjoyed the activity so much that they shared the experience with all of their friends, and I had to order another mystery to use with another class! Everyone loved "Who Stole the Cookies?" and we are all hoping to have another mystery dinner party before the end of the school year!"

Here is a group photo from Donna's "The Love Letter" party:
Donna sent in this feedback: "Hi Stephanie, We played our first murder mystery, "The Love Letter" for our daughter's 15th birthday party and had an amazing time! Everyone had great fun shopping at goodwill, etc for their costumes. Even our dog, Gizmo, wore a tuxedo. We followed your recommended menu, brought out the china and teapots and had a grand victorian time! Our son impressed the ladies as Lord Mazzing. Our daughter felt very special and she loved that her friends had such a unique experience! (We loved that it was clean fun too!) After dinner her friends stayed the night and watched Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and other movies until 5:30am! We were a little apprehensive about putting on a murder mystery party because we had never done one before. But it was so well written, organized and fun that our fears are gone! We just purchased another one for our oldest daughter's 17th birthday party next month! Thank you for creating this wonderful party tool!Sincerely,
Donna Pombrio"
Here is a group photo from Lindsey's "One Of The Girls" party:
Lindsey sent in this feedback: "I purchased the "One Of The Girls" dinner party kit and hosted it for my "bunco" group last month. Everyone had a blast. They really got into their characters and had a great time with the costumes. It took us a bit to figure out how to make the clues flow but I think we got the hang of it. One of the girls gave your web site to her mother so that she can host a party for a group that she belongs to. We'll definitely do it again. I'd like to share our photo attachment: Bunco girls. Lindsey Ashmore"
