Day 77: Murder Mystery Night


I have never been to a murder mystery night before. I didn't know what to expect. It was held at my friend's house. Once everyone got there at about 7 pm my friend, the host, told us the agenda for the nite. There were nine people that attended. Everyone had a character to play. It was held in Hawaii. All the characters are people that you would find in Hawaii. I played the hotel manager. There was a scuba diver, a surfer, an agent, a golfer, a tour guide, a hula dancer, and a pineapple farmer. There also was the older brother. The goal was to find out who killed Stuart Murdoch and why.

It was a potluck dinner. I brought KFC. There was sushi, veggies and dip, fruit and whipped cream, fried rice, and dessert. The speciality that night was meat fondue. There were a variety of different sushi rolls. The veggies included tomatoes, mushrooms, and celery. The fruits included bananas, melon, apples and strawberries. The whipped cream was delicious. Dessert was cupcakes decorated with Halloween theme (spiders, ghosts and jack o lanterns) and fruit tarts. The hosts were being adventerous with trying the meat fondue. It was their first time. It was strips of beef and you use one of the forks and dip it in heated oil to cook the beef. You just have to leave it in there for about a minute and voila! It's ready. They had a seeded mustard sauce as a dipping sauce for the beef. I don't usually like mustard but the beef with the mustard sauce was delicious.

After dinner, the goal was to find clues that were hidden around the place. Once you found one clue, it would lead you to the next clue. The clues were strategically hidden. I formed an alliance with one of my friends. We were the first ones to find most of the clues. Once we got to the last clue, it was very difficult for us. Another person found the last clue. They had to guess who killed Stuart and why. If they got it correct, they got a prize. The person who found the clue was Stuart's older brother. Stuart was dating the hula dancer and the tour guide. The hula dancer is the daughter of the pineappler farmer. It was the pineapple farmer who killed Stuart by giving him pineapples. Stuart was allergic to pineapples. Stuart's older brother guessed it correctly and won the prize.

It was an absolutely fantastic fun nite!
