Adult Party Games for the Brainy Minds
Planned ideas make a party with adult party games & activities exciting. One idea is a "Murder Mystery party". It will take some well organized planning but it is well worth it and your guests will remember the event for years. Murder Mystery parties are unique and they get everyone involved. The first thing on the agenda is decide how many guests you will invite. Tell them in the invitation what kind of party you are planning and give them a RSVP date.
Once you have the responses, start deciding what type of mystery you want to try. Each mystery must have a back story that explains who the victim is and tells you something about each of the characters in the story. Assign characters to each guest. Starting about two weeks before the event, begin distributing the guests emails or notes with party information. Include facts for the guests like who their character is, who the victim is, what the relationship between the victim and their character is and any other important information or pre-games clues. This will get them interested and excited about the party. Describe the characters and ask the guests to come dressed like their assigned character.
Set up the event area the morning of the party placing clues around for the party goers to find. Be ready to get the conversation going and move it along by asking the guests questions over dinner or cocktails which will give everyone the facts they need to guess who the murderer is. Be sure to have nice party favors for everyone and a special reward for the guest who is the first to discover the murderer. One nice touch would be to set up a video camera can record the party game then later make copies and send each guest a DVD of the party as a memento along with some photos.
A no fail adult party game that is easily explained to those who may have never played is Charades. Prior to the party gather a few supplies: paper, pens or pencils and plenty of ideas. Pick the titles of well known, movies, TV shows, books and actions or phrases. Write them down. Divide the guests into teams and start by letting the first player pick a slip of paper with a title on it out of a box or bowl. The person who picks the title must act it out without talking, while their team tries to guess what they are acting out. Have plenty of snacks and party favors ready for everyone and have a great time.
