email murder mystery tips to your guests
By Steve Hatherley
I've created several murder mystery tips especially for guests (with tips on what to do and how to act).
However, unless your guests come to this site (or you print them out) they won't read them...
So I have created an easy way in which you can email the tips to your guests.
All you have to do is complete the form below - completing the form sends an email to you (containing the tips) that you can then modify and forward to your guests.
The email contains the "Preparing to Play" and "How to Play" notes, along with a link to the other tips for guests.
It also explains how to modify it so that you can send it to your guests.
If you like you could also attach more information about your party - such as the free introductory pdf file which provides the background to the game and the full cast list.
