Great Success!
We did this over zoom and it was a great success! The kids had so much fun! We had volunteers dress up as the characters and the kids (since they were younger) were all the investigators! It was wonderful, highly recommended

Toy Chest Trauma left not trauma!
My Girl Scout Troop used the Toy Chest Trauma as the entertainment for a Mother-Daughter event. It was a big hit with girls ranging from 5 years to 13 years old. The girls dressed up like a toy. We had a stage with a bedroom scene and props. We posted a board about fingerprints where guests could analyze their prints. Girls could make pictures with their own fingerprints. The tables had toys for the centerpieces. Some of our attendants guest why Theodore Rosy-Felt the Stuffed Bear disappeared. They were very intrigued. Everyone had a blast!
  • We kept it simple with hot dogs, chips, lemonade, and brownies.
  • Our flyer invited guests to Solve a Mystery at the Mother-Daughter Mystery Party. We provided mini magnifying glasses as a SWAP and a patch with toys in a toy chest along with a simple lunch. The troop enjoyed acting their parts.

Trauma in the Toy Shop
I used this at our children's CHRISTmas party at church. The prep was very little and the kids and adults had a wonderful time. It lasted 35 minutes and then kids were ready for another mystery - they loved it

Teddy Train Trauma
For my son's 7th birthday we ordered this game. We rented a 4 carriage train with a dining car and invited all his friends, their siblings, and parents. We created portfolio files for all characters and our detectives so they could feel "official", make notes, review suspects. We printed the clues on 4x6 photos and handed them out to each person when the time came. We printed each player's lines on colored index cards that corresponded with each round. This helped them focus on just their role. We also allowed some character descriptions to be read as introductions and other parts to be secret characteristics that only that character and 1 or 2 other players would know. Allowing our investigators some 'inside knowledge' they gained from interviews (not done during the game).

In the end, they all had fun, parents, teenage siblings, the 7-year-olds all got into character and had a ton of fun playing off each other. They cast their vote on the culprit and then the winners all received a teddy bear award.
  • We didn't use any special invitations, music or decor. We waited until they arrived to let them know what we would be doing on this train.

Fun with Mystery Dinner
We used this script (non-murder) with a group of 10-year old girls and they had a blast.

We didn't tell them their characters in advance and just had a toy at each person's place with their background and script instructions in a folder.

Instead of announcing the culprit at the end, we had each person go to a separate room and provide a video on who they thought did the crime. We replayed the info with the group and the culprit made a video confession. Hilarious!
  • We had typical kid fare dinner - hot dogs and mac-n-cheese with veggies
  • We decorated the table with balloons and had a stuffed animal at each place to denote each character (instead of dressing up)

30th Birthday Surprise Party
We had a mix of ages with lots of young ones. We chose this party so they could participate. Everyone had fun. We hope to do another mystery party in the future!
  • We served the birthday girl's favorites. Crack chicken sandwiches, poppers, chip and dip, veggies and of course homemade chocolate cake!
  • We used an old fashioned baby rocker with baby pjs on it, an old chest and everyone had a toy that represented their character.

Toy Chest Trauma
Torrance Moose Lodge #785, Murder Mystery Function.
We had all characters dress for their part and perform their individual parts through each round.
The characters not only dressed for the occasion but did very well acting out their Characters.
We had a group of 70 in the Audience as Investigators, very few actually guessed correctly. This was our 5th Murder Mystery and was told by members that this was one of the best.
  • We actually served food before we acted out parts. This worked extremely well.
  • We had props setting the scene, characters came in costume and it added realism to the entire evening.

Crazy cast having a lot of fun!
We took this mystery to a combined event with friends. They didn't know we were doing this, but everyone played along and it was so fun! They really got into the character roles which we predetermined. Only one investigator and one character identified the culprit. Definitely an enjoyable experience!
  • We gave simple props for the costumes - a crown, stick horse, dog bone, etc. Nothing overly elaborate since we didn't host ourselves and the players didn't know about the game beforehand. Very easy and simple.

The party was a blast!
Everyone really took their roles very seriously, many dressing up as the various toys. Everyone guessed who the real culprit was, but thought it was too obvious so during their final guesses, no one guessed the real one! I will definitely be using these again. Many thanks!!!
