I think that tweens (kids ages 11 to 13)would have a good time if they had a murder mystery party. Someone could pretend that someone was murdered and the kids would have to snoop around looking for clues as to who dunnit, why, where, and how. You could even decorate the house accordingly to the mystery. For example if someone was "murdered" they could have a my size barbie laying on the floor as if she was dead. If the "victim" was supposedly had been murdered in the dining room you could have it taped off with "DO NOT CROSS, CRIME SCENE" tape to add a more dramatic effect. To play the game each person (or team) will be given a motive and profile and (each player in the game is a suspect) everyone will be given the same clues as to where the next clue can be found, eventually those clues will lead to who did it,why, with what, where, and how. The person (teams) can not ask another person (teams) for help. If one team gets to the next clue that is hidden before the other teams there will still be enough clues left for that team when they do reach the next clue. If a team is having a lot of trouble finding a clue they have only two passes which can be used to ask for help. If a team does decide to ask for help they have to turn in the slip and it may not be returned. Teams must be made into even groups. If u have an uneven number of guest only then may the teams be uneven. The team that finds out who, where, why, with what, and how first whens that game.
