Games of Mystery: Seasonal Parties and Halloween Costumes

Games of Mystery

Labor Day marks the unofficial end to summer but also the unofficial start to the fall holiday season! It's not too early to plan your parties for October and , your source for mystery-themed games, parties, and vacations, has some great ideas for your Halloween party, including costume recommendations and an online source to purchase your costumes.

Halloween Parties for Kids

For a kids party, consider hosting the alliterative Horrible Happenings in the Haunted House. A fancy dress party is being held by Horrorwood Studios to celebrate the success of their latest film Hal O'Ween and the Deadly Shrunken Head. Hal O'Ween himself has invited you and your friends to join him for an evening of fright and horror. A spooky mystery party for 8 to 12 children. (Costume suggestions: Characters from music, TV and film.)

Or how about The Mystery of the Vanishing Vampire. To celebrate the opening of the scary new theme park, Vampireland in Transylvania, the guests have been chosen by Jack Ular, the owner of Castle Alucard and Vampireland, to spend a night in one of the rooms in the haunted West Wing of Castle Alucard in Vampireland. A vampire-themed mystery game for 10 to 14 players, perfect for Halloween. There's also a teen version of this party game titled Death of a Vampire. (Costume suggestions: Vampires and anything in black.)

For younger kids, there's Which Witch Did The Switch? Miss Terry, the head mistress of Miss Terry's School of Magic will take charge of the usual end of term assembly. The whole of the school, staff and pupils will gather to see who wins the annual school awards. What could possibly go wrong with all of those witches and wizards around? Harry Potter fans will be delighted by this Halloween-themed party. (Costume suggestions: Harry Potter characters, witches, warlocks.)

Older kids and teens may enjoy A Devilish Masquerade. Monty Argent, teen-aged son and heir of ridiculously wealthy Pierce Argent, is inviting kids who are, or pretend to be, his friends to an over-the-top Halloween costume party at the family estate. As the party is under way, the scary special effects become truly terrifying, however, when their wealthy host suddenly disappears. Was this a simple accident, a prank gone wrong, or perhaps attempted murder? This non-murder mystery game is a great choice as a Halloween party for teens, and can be expanded to include an unlimited number of characters. (Costume suggestions: Wide open; use your imagination!)

And for adults, there's Death of a Wizard, a murder mystery party game for 8 to 14 players set in the magical world of witches and wizards. The night is October 31st and the cream of the world of witches and wizards are gathering at the studios of WIZ TV in Magic World for the Merlins, the 51st annual awards of the Academy of Magic. Put on your best evening robes and see who's walking down the red carpet for a night they will never forget. What shocks await the magical audience? Join hosts Wizard Oscar Winner and Witch Enva Lope and see who wins one of the coveted Merlins. (Costume suggestions: High fashion, vintage wear.)
