We were very disapponted with this murder mystery game. We have used four of Paul Lamonds games before and this one was the first one that we did not enjoy -certainly not up to his usual standard. All the others have been great fun with plots that make you laugh and that are easy to follow. This game is very complicated and after a few drinks everyone was completely lost. Thankfully our party managed to create our own entertainment laughing at how bad the game actually was!

Eleven of us got together to use this package not realising what was in store for us.
One of the most exciting evenings ever spent – waiting for the next one!

We purchased this game for our daughters’s 13th birhtday party after reviewing many of the games on offer. We sent off the invites as suggested and all the girls, 10 in total, arrived in costume looking really authentic. The game was based in Casablanca at the French Mayor’s residence during WW2. We set up the dining room, playing french music, and my husband and I dressed up as the butler and housekeeper! These characters were not in the game, but we thought it was fun to do whilst serving food. I had read most of the character books and thought it seemed pretty complicated, and it proved tricky to get the dialogue moving during the first course and the girls needed a lot of help from us to keep the plot moving, the cross questioning was much more difficult than expected. Fortunately the CD summary by the inspector summarised progress at the end of the first course which put us back on track and then each course got easier. The girls were detemined to keep going and stayed in character. Some of the developments were rather ‘grown up’ but the girls found this hilarious. Lots of positive feedback from the girls, so overall great fun, but I suggest parents do spend time reading all the character booklets to make all the questions easier. A memorable event!

Great idea for a dinner party. Played with 12 friends, everyone enjoyed it. Nice for a different kind of evening. Note that it’s a CD, not a DVD.

Decided to get together with a group of friends (some who had never met before) and remembered there were such things as Murder Mystery Games. We decided on The Brie, the Bullet and the Black Cat because of the number. We invited 10 people, which is all you need to make it work. From the moment people walked into our house, we were off. Everyone dressing in costume and playing their part from the off. The evening was one of the best Dinner Parties ever and we have been talking about it and calling each other by our character names long after the night. I could’nt recommend it more. As long as your guests get into the mood. i even tried to cook acording to the setting, but in future, will not make it so hard on myself. have fun
