To want to go to a murder mystery?

[CujoOn]

DH thinks they’re tacky - anyone been to one?

I did one and it was a bit Meh!
To be fair the hotel room was a bit shit as well so that kind of put me off to start with.

I thought it would be characters planted at tables and somebody keeling over into their soup. But it was actually a period piece with actors basically acting out a short play. Then we questioned them. Then the reveal, which made no bloody sense at all.

Maybe it was that particular murder company that were a bit shit and there are better ones out there. I would do it again as a bit of a novelty. its a night away and a meal! just not that company or that hotel.

Yes. I enjoyed it. The hotel was fine too.

Yes, and loved it. My husband wants to book one again with the same hotel for our Christmas.

If you want to do one, do one!

If your husband is being a misery guts about it, go with friends or your siblings or mother or someone else.

Tacky ≠ not fun!

Yes, to please my mum, super tacky

I've been an actor in one.
It was fun because I was allowed to improvise and big up my part to an extent. I wasn't the murderer.

The participants seemed to enjoy it too, but who knows.

I would prefer to sit in as a pretend juror on a case, hear all the evidence and with the rest of the "jurors" conclude whether they are guilty or not guilty. You can actually do that too. Dh prefers to watch crime stuff rather than be part of it. I should add I am rubbish at guessing who the killer is on tv shows, ie The Perfect Couple on Netflix.

If you want to do it though, do it, so what if it is tacky? You might enjoy that part of it.

I think I would die of second hand embarrassment but that’s probably just me 😁

Yes, we went to several that were brilliant. I recommend Joy Swift's Original Murder weekends. They are pricey but very well worth it.

We’ve done one, I wasn’t looking forward to it to be honest but it turned out to be a right laugh!

That, and 'night in a haunted room'. are on my hell no list.

I love them. I’ve been to tacky ones and brilliant ones. DH comes to keep me happy. He also loves the brilliant ones and has asked to do one again - never had this before!

Like PP have done Joy Swifts Murder weekends both on my own and with friends. Found them great fun and throughly enjoyed myself every time. Although trying to resolve the mystery around the murder(s) is easier if you can talk it over with someone.

'Tacky' is a weird thing to say.

'Boring' (if you don't like that sort of thing) or even 'awful' if you really can't stand them, but 'tacky' is weird.

It's not like he's going to take the cast home and display them on the mantelpiece 👀
