by Why Murder Mystery Dinners Might Be the Funniest Part of Your Week
Murder mystery dinners are the only events where strangers accuse each other of homicide between bites of lukewarm chicken. You’re handed a character card and told your name is “Baroness von Snicklewig” and that you may or may not have poisoned the soup. The waiter is also a detective. Your aunt is the killer. Or maybe the butler? Everyone’s yelling in bad British accents while trying to remember who has the candlestick. You accidentally confess to murder just to keep things moving. Murder mystery dinners: the only place where dinner and death come with dessert and a laugh track.
