 Rating: - Lots of funOur group had a good time solving this mystery; I was surprised that there are only 6 core characters (with 2 extras) as opposed to many other brands we have played where there are 8 main characters. Rating:  - LAUGHS GALORE!My friends and I had WAY too much fun with this game! I read the brief character descriptions and the friend who came to my mind first was the one I assigned to play that particular role. It couldn't have turned out any better - they all got totally into their characters and went all out with their costumes, too. It was all women in this group, so some were playing male roles and the "cross-dressing" was hilarious in itself! I know we will all cherish the memories from that night for a LONG time! ...

This is a game involving wine, as the title implies, and so should be played by adults and who are not offended by drinking of wine. Six of us participated in this game and had a ball. Everyone really got into character right from the get-go. When people arrived, they arrived in character. Each of us enjoyed this ... Read More Rating:  - It's ok but sorta lameWe thought this was a bit lame. No where near as good as the How to Host a Murder Series. The scenario is scripted and characters are directed to ask questions of other characters but the other characters have no clue as to what the answers are. Players are asked to describe things that they know nothing about like what is in their character's pocket etc... There is also a CD which thinks it is a cassette tape. All in all it was acceptable but there's no real figuring out the mystery at the end. It ends ... Read More |
