"Critters and the Creators" Murder Mystery Dinner

We had a Murder Mystery Dinner called "Critters and the Creators". It revolved around all the players being in the play "The Wizard of Oz" and doing all the jobs behind the scenes. "The DIVA" was found murdered and one of the players was the murderer. This is the fourth complete Mystery Dinner that I have written. It was very fun to play. Our guests were fantastic at hamming it up and playing their parts; they made it so much fun!
Kade was the Tin Man/Mechanic, I was the Understudy to Dorothy/Caterer.Kandice was the Good Witch of the North/Cosmetologist & Dave was the Cowardly Lion/Artist.
(My daughters loved the "Good Witch" Dress!)
Christabel was the Wizard/Chemist & Dane was The Yellow Brick Road/Construction Worker.
Sarah was the Wicked Witch of the West/Costume Designer & Scott was the Scarecrow/Musician.

As part of the Mystery Dinner we had a "Show & Tell". Each player was to bring something that their character would have created. The winner of the Show & Tell received an extra clue to help them figure out who the murderer was. This was one of my favorite parts of the game because it allowed each person to show off their acting skills or personality a little more. This was very entertaining!


Dave was an Artist and did all the scenery and painting for the show. He created a masterpiece of artwork (we put it on the wall and he is pointing to it). He also interpreted his art and it was hilarious.
Kandice was a Cosmotologist and did the make-up and hair for all in the show. She showed us one of the the hair and make-up designs with her model. Very fashionable!
Sarah was the Costume Designer for the show and she gave us each a scarf with our character name on it. She created it using a new print machine she won. This was very nice!
Scott was the Musician and organized all the music for the show. He entertained us with his musical skills on the xylophone and by playing "Mary had a little lamb" on his cell phone with the buttons. (Scott won the Show & Tell and received the extra clue. He also guessed who the murderer was!)
Dane was a Construction Worker and built all the backdrops and stages for the show. He showed us his first masterpiece, his foot stool. Very nice!
Christabel was a Chemist and in charge of all the special effects for the show. Her latest and greatest creation is a youth potion! Amazing!
Kade was a Mechanic for the play, in charge of all the electrical and mechanical things. He created a model of a truck. His "heart" was in it!
I (Kelli) was a Caterer for the show and I created cupcakes (The DIVA's favorite) with fresh raspberry butter cream frosting on white cake and peanut butter butter cream frosting on chocolate cake. They were yummy.

Thanks so much to all our guests! You made it memorable and very fun! Thanks for coming!
