I apologize for not being at The Redneck for a couple of days, but I have a good excuse. I was called down to Calgary; my Facebook friends Kelly and Kev needed my help to solve a murder mystery. This also gave us a good excuse for a dinner party.
As we ate we determined what happened; a man named Bobby was murdered and his eight friends were the prime suspects. In order to find out who the killer was each of us had to “become” one of the suspects. Kelly was Cynthia Masters, the editor of a women’s magazine. Kev was Peter Simmons, owner of the Old Lodge where the murder took place and all of us suspects were staying. Kristy was Patricia Collins, international stewardess. Sue was Bess Andrews, a former beauty queen, now confined to a wheelchair due to a car accident. John was Joe Barley an undercover police officer. Kelly’s dad was Bill Bishup a former football player forced into early retirement due to an injury. I was Michael Roth a “whiz kid” computer programmer/designer. Sandi was supposed to be Wynter Newly, the spoiled daughter of a wealthy industrialist. Unfortunately, due to illness, Sandi cancelled at the last minute. However, we still needed someone to get into Wynter’s head in order to properly solve the crime; thus I decided to get in touch with my feminine side and I became this woman as well as Michael. It was a mind expanding experience.
As we became our characters, we discovered that not only did we have connections to one another (apart from attending the same college), we also each had a motive for killing Bobby. But who did the actual deed? Well, you’re just going to have to purchase the game, gather eight of your friends, eat some food drink some Blue Beaver Beer (or, I guess, some reasonable alternative) and solve the crime for yourself. Who would have thought murder could be so much fun.
I’ve never played that game before, but I do like the CSI game.

You wacky gamers! Am I too late to start a fight?
Well, 10:13 does seem a bit late in the evening, but I guess we can stay open a bit later in order to accomodate you.
[...] I’ve just been too freakin’ busy to do nothing for any length of time. Between solving another murder, going to a trade show, and catching a flick with the sister (not to mention driving through a [...]

I did one of these types of dinner games about 5 years ago or so – it was a lot of fun. The only downer (if there was one) was we served a bit too much wine with dinner and by later on all everyone wanted to do was keep drinking and kind of lost interest in finishing the game. But, it was still a good, fun time.
