Top Tips for Guests in Solving Murder Mysteries

Murder mystery parties are fun to plan but they are even more fun to solve. With all the tricks and turns, guests should be ready to put their detective hats on to solve the case. For some assistance, East Coast Murder Mystery shares five tips for solving murder mysteries at the next party you attend.

Here are our top tips for solving murder mysteries:

  1. Be mindful that everyone is a suspect: The purpose of murder mystery parties is to always keep everyone guessing until the very end. This means that anyone can be the murderer. It is crucial to be open-minded throughout the entire party to ensure that guests aren’t solely focused into one belief of who the suspect is the entire time.
  2. Fully immerse yourself into the theme: Being engaged at all times especially with the theme plays an important role in guests solving the mystery. If a guest takes it upon themselves to fully immerse themselves into the theme’s setting, it will let their imagination go way farther and aid them in solving the case from a new perspective.
  3. Pay attention to detail: The smallest clues may go unnoticed. You don’t want someone to catch these details before you do! In these types of parties, every detail and piece of information matters. Guests can use this to their advantage.
  4. Don’t share too much information: Giving up too much secret information to other guests could be a downfall. Therefore, it is key to have good judgement of when a guest should keep such information to themselves. Some might choose to form alliances, but some guests might want to solve the mystery on their own to avoid any risks.
  5. Participate as much as possible: The easiest way to solve a murder mystery? Keep participating! Even if a guest starts to feel discouraged, it is always important to keep trying and stay engaged for the entire party. Clues might come when you least expect it! This is the best way to not only solve the mystery but also to have a fun and enjoyable experience.
