Reviews

We hosted this for our 17 year olds birthday. She goes to a girl's school, so it was perfect for her friends. They really got into playing the characters and had a lot of fun with it. The fingerprint analyzer was fun, but confusing as to how it fits in with the game. It seemed like their should have been more details about where the murder took place if you were going to introduce evidence from the analyzer. It was cool to view though. We needed one more character so we added one. It took a little creative ingenuity, but it worked out well. The girls didn't suspect, but did wonder why "Monet" did not have fingerprints on the analyzer. :-) The time frame was perfect for us, but I could see where it could take a lot less time if the participants didn't really get into playing the characters. The girls said it was the best party they had been to in a long time and wanted to do another soon!

We played Murder 90210 at my daughter's spend the night birthday party. We found out just a day or so before the party that one of the guests would not be able to come after all. It was pretty easy to combine a couple of the characters into one, and the party was good-to-go. All of the girls got into their roles, and by the time the reveal round came around, the girls were asking if we could add more to the game - no one was ready for it to be over. They had a great time!
