Welcome to our sixty-seventh PartyChitChat.

Here is our news:

• We have created a new mystery party game called "The Superhero Mystery. In this kit you don your super hero cape and help work out which of the superheros helped capture Cron and his evil team. It is for 10 to 16 guests. It is suitable for all ages and is a mystery not a murder. If you would like us to make a version for more guests, please email us via info@merrimysteries.com.
• We are in the process of writing a new Mardi Gras mystery. If you would like us to let you know when it is ready, please email us via info@merrimysteries.com.
• Do you want to celebrate the holiday season? We recommend Who Killed Santa? There are versions for 8 to 100 guests and it's lots of fun.

• We have a Merri Mysteries page on Facebook. We would really appreciate it if you could "Write On Our Wall" about any of the parties you have had using our kits. And/or if you could click "Like", we would be so grateful.

In this issue, we have articles about:

• Our photo competition winner
• Our decoration competition
• Our video competition
• Feedback on The Search For The Truth.

Our photo competition winner

This time we had two entrants. The winners are:

• Sandra Lelleck (USA)
• Sally Hogg (USA).

We are commencing a new competition with a closing date of 10 December 2011 (see photos.htm for details).

Often people find it hard to get permission signatures from people at the party later on. If you think you might be taking some great photos, please download the permission form so you can get it signed at the party and then scan it in and email it to us with your photo competition entry. Or you can take a photo of it after it is signed and email it that way.

Decoration competition

Sally Hogg (USA) is also the winner of our decoration competition.

We are commencing a new competition with a closing date of 10 December 2011 (see decor.htm for details).

Sandra sent in this feedback:

"Hi Stephanie,

I held "Celebrity Celebrations" on October 10th and it was a hit!

I have a large family and we try to stay close as a family by getting together once every three months. I was the hostess for this one. I wanted to try something new and a friend had told me about Merri Mysteries. The majority of my family was pretty tenative at first. By the end, they were exitedly talking about the next one!

Looking forward to more fun,

Sandra Aden Lelleck"

Here is a photo from Sally's The Balmy Bahamas Cruise party:

Sally sent in this feedback:

"The Balmy Bahamas Cruise was selected for our annual high school murder mystery dinner. They mystery was perfect. The location was a community center that we turned into a cruise ship. The dinner was held in the "Spanish Wells" dining room which served a Mexican fiesta buffet. So incredibly easy to plan and a terrific event for 45+ high school students! Thank you for making my job as coordinator so easy! "

Video competition

Unfortunately we did not have any entrants in our video competition. We are commencing a new competition with a closing date of 10 December 2011 (see videos.htm for details).

Feedback on The Search For The Truth

"Over the last few years we have done several of your murder mysteries and we have just finished the Search for the Truth Christian camp murder which was amazing and the 16 young people who took part loved it! I normally do these with our church youth group and they are very suitable, for which I am grateful!!

Thank you again for providing a wonderful resource.
