It changed my point of view on this type of dinner party.<br /><br />http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=1331<br /><br />These dinners are discussed in the first few minutes of the show, so I recommend you even listen to that much of the show. (It's a really powerful episode, really).<br /><br />But the gist of my point is: You'd never hold a 'rape party' to try and solve a rape. That would be distasteful. So why would you hold a murder party?<br /><br />It's just a thought I wanted to share.<br /><br />PS I'm a long time reader, sometimes commenter and I post this comment thoughtfully, without the intent of stirring the pot. If you go ahead, I hope you have a great party.

The only real suggestion I have is to try to make sure that you don't have too many people that you have to assign the "extra" parts. Everyone we invited came, so we had to give ourselves the "extras." Those parts had almost nothing to do with the murder and were a little boring.cooperl788https://www.blogger.com/profile/08903541298189613642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-590170049809396010.post-32337440587193103802010-02-23T14:17:38.901-08:002010-02-23T14:17:38.901-08:00I had a really positive experience with http://www...I had a really positive experience with http://www.nightofmystery.com/<br /><br />You buy the kit online (about $70), lots of themes and ranging from a small intimate group or larger groups.
