This looks a fun beach party based around our Murder in the Swinging Sixties game. Kelsi says:

"It was my husband's 30th birthday beach weekend, but honestly, the party was more for me as I love planning events.

Having the murder mystery at the beach (Lincoln City, Oregon) gave it another level of character since the environment was different from being in Portland, Oregon, at one of our houses. There were 14 of us and we loved having a huge table to act around."

Verdict

"It was a hoot of a time. Thanks for putting so much time into these packages; they're impressive. We liked how each character had different backgrounds and that the details got juicier each round.

Drake sang the song snippets provided and it was hilarious.

Only one person in our group had done a murder mystery; for the rest it was a new experience.

I'll look over your other packages and pick one for next year as the crew is all about it!"
