How To Choose the Right Murder Mystery Theme for Your Group

Choosing the right murder mystery theme might be hard when there are a lot of people to please. At East Coast Murder Mystery, we want every group to pick the theme package that is right for them which is why we are offering tips to help you decide.

Here are some tips for deciding on a theme with a large group:

  • Consider the reason for the event: Thinking about why you want to do a murder mystery party can help when trying to come to a decision on what theme to pick. If you are going with a bunch of friends that you went to high school with, it would be fun to do the “Death Before Detention” theme and get thrown back into time. If you’re throwing a party for your friend who loves history, the “Catastrophe at the Cinema” theme set in the 1920s might be the perfect option.
  • Weigh the pros and cons: With only great options available, it can be difficult to narrow it down between the choices. Making a pros and cons list about your favorite and least favorite aspects about each theme can be an easy way to help you figure out what theme is best for you. With this, consider what you are really looking to get out of the murder mystery party.
  • Vote: When in doubt, vote. Simple democracy never hurt anyone, so if possible, be in quick communication with the participants before the event and take a vote as to what theme everyone wants to do. The event with the most votes will be the one that the group does!

If you are still having trouble figuring out which murder mystery theme to choose, we are here to help. Contact us today and we will provide suggestions on which theme we think will be perfect for your event.
