The games are designed to be played around a meal, usually as a series of rounds in which all players have information to divulge to everyone else. The rounds take place between the courses of the meal, and the game is played while at the dinner table. (This is similar to the popular boxed sets available in the shops.) The larger games are played in a "meet and mingle" format.
Some games are particularly suitable for teenagers, some are what they call "drama kits" and some don’t even have a murder! I’m not going to go into much detail here, because their web-site has all the information you need.
The Merri Mysteries start at $29.95 (US dollars) with prices increasing (to $34.95 or $39.95) for their larger games. You can use a currency converter to check the approximate cost in your own currency. However, you can get a 10% discount by using the link below:
