Week number four

This week I went on a Murder Mystery date!! I have ALWAYS wanted to do this so I was so ecstatic when I found out I could go! (I had to leave my cooking lab a bit early to make it there on time...opps). Let me first explain the game. First, we all got assigned characters prior to the date. I was a British secretary, my date was a retired general that just got off a safari, My sister, Cami, and her date were Russian ambassadors. The other couples were a Chinese man and his daughter, geishas, and other funny characters. We all came totally decked out in our costumes. We also had to speak in our characters accent. Thankfully I got a British character because I would not have been able to do Russian or Chinese accent. haha. We sat around the dinner table and all got a little booklet that explained who we were and our secrets. For example, my name was Miss D. Meaner (funny, clever name right?) and I was the secretary of Ivan titcher, but I was also secretly in the British Secret Service but nobody knew it. The game was based on the murder of Mr. Big Job, the bodyguard of the Japanese embarrassed. We all went around and said our lines that we would read from our booklet. What we would read out loud to the others and explain where we were at certain times of the night of the murder. Secrets would unfold and people would figure things out by asking questions and putting together information that each person would share throughout the dinner. HOLD IT…. let me first explain how AMAZING the dinner was! (Shout out to Kristi McArthur for providing the food!) We had a 5-course Chinese meal that was incredibly delicious! Well the mystery unfolded and guess who was the murderer…. Yup, ME! Haha. The funny thing is the murderer doesn’t know they are the murderer until the end either so when I heard the clues I wanted to guess myself. My character was suspicious. The game was super fun and we all had a fun time acting out our characters and eating the fabulous food! We ended the night playing some Dance Central! Haha, SO FUNNY! Man, I was cracking up. Mostly at myself… I’m so uncoordinated it’s embarrassing.If anyone has never gone on a mystery murder date I would highly suggest you buy the game and play it. So worth it.
