Question : Good Murder Mystery party games?
Just for like, ya know, when my friends come over and stuff. I have party-sleepovers a lot and I thought it would be fun to have a murder mystery game to play with my friends! Do you know any good ones that you have played before? The only one that I have played is clue. It can be a board game, or something more elaborate--Where you have your own character you have to act with and stuff. Also, links would be so great! thanks a lot!! Sophia.
Answer:
i played some fun mystery games on http://swfplay.co.uk you might like it. check it out.

Question : Looking for great mystery solving board games for 2 players?
what me and my boyfriend have found till now are all 3 players up and we want one to play between ourselves...please help us to find a good mystery solving board game....thanks!!!well we are looking for a game that has a bit of deduction and solving stuff in it such as 'Murder at the abbey' and 'Scotland Yard' which are,unfortunately both 3 players on
Answer:
Well, some more detail on what you mean by "mystery solving" might be helpful. Are you thinking along the lines of 'Clue' type mystery? Or something else?If you can give any more details it will help a lot!However, here's a start...If you enjoy the deduction element (figuring things out based on limited information), there's always good old Mastermind - one player creates a code with colored pegs, the other player tries to break it. Available just about anywhere, pretty inexpensive. Not really a 'mystery' game though.More details: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/2392----------------------------------For more of a mystery game, you could try Crack the Case. Plays 2-6 players; one player reads a 'mystery' card, which the other player asks questions about to try to answer. Designed as a party game, but it will play with two. I'd love to give more feedback on it, but I haven't played in a long time. Looks like you can pick this up on e-bay for $20 or so.More details: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/1254-----------------------------------For a suggestion you've probably never heard of, you might like Mr. Jack. This is a game from Germany, and is only a 2 player game. One player is the investigator, trying to catch Jack the Ripper. There are eight suspects, and each player takes turns moving them around into areas of shadow and light; at the end of a turn, the investigator learns whether Jack is in shadow or light, narrowing down the suspects. Each suspect also has a special effect; when you move the police inspect, for example, you can also move a barricade that blocks exits from the board. The investigator wins by catching Jack, Jack wins by either escaping the board or evading capture for 8 turns.Mr Jack has a bit of deduction, a bit of detective/mystery and a lot of challenging strategy. Its fairly fast to play and the mix of special effects of the suspects keep you on your toes and keep replay from getting stale. At the moment, its only available from stores that carry imports - I got mine from Timewellspent.org (a great game store in general). The rules are available in English from Boardgamegeek, and the pieces don't have any language on them, so once you have the english rules you are good to go. However, an english version is supposed to be coming out very soon (or might have already come out).However, you don't have to buy this to try it - you can play online against another player at http://mrjack.biludi.de. Online play is a bit slower than playing the actual game, but it should give you a feel of what the game is like. You two could play against each other on there, or you could get someone else to teach one of you.More information: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/21763-----------------------------------For a very different style, you might consider Fury of Dracula. One player controls Dracula, while the other players controls the hunters from the classic novel chasing him across Europe. Dracula's movement is hidden from the other player, who needs to use various clues to track him down while fighting off his minions.I'm a little reluctant on recommending this, because I have not played it and I know its quite a bit more complicated than anything else on the list, but it might fit your criteria. Again, Timewellspent.org carries it.More info: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/20963-------------------------------------------------------I hope any of those are helpful! If you can give more details about what you like, I'll be happy to try to come up with more suggestions.By the way, if you like deduction/mystery games at all, definetly check out Deduce or Die! Its played with a regular deck of cards, and the rules are available here:http://www.thegamesjournal.com/rules/DeduceOrDie.shtmlThis is a great deduction game; lots of fun. You may want to play the 6 card version to get the hang of it though. However, you need at least 3 players for it, so it won't work for just the two of you.Happy gaming!

Question : I am hosting a birthday/dinner party (adults). What are some cool games to play (besides cranium, mystery)?
I have searched online and have only found things like spy, mystery games...or what celebrity are you type games. Besides those and cranium and standard board games are there other options?
Answer:
Apples to Apples and Blurt! are the two best games ever.You'll spend half the night laughing!You can buy them pretty much anywhere, they're very popular.Blurt! is more like a board game where someone reads a definitions and everyone has to yell out the first word that comes to mind until someone names the word on the card.In Apples to Apples everyone gets a few cards that have people, places, events, objects, movies etc on them. Each person takes turns reading a card with a simple word like 'depressing' or a pharse 'what's in my room' and the others put down a card that they think best fits the word or phrase. Then you judge to see who choose the best. It sounds very tame, but it definately is not!

Do a savanger hunt with clues - 2 teams and they must find the items on a listWhat is it - have items in a paper bag and they can only feel what it is and guess, who ever has the most correct answers win.
