Auntie Kris came with the most awesome gift: a murder mystery kit! Can you imagine anything more perfect for this group of actors?! I've never done a murder mystery party before and everything about it was super easy and super fun. The kit comes with everything you need, including detailed descriptions of the characters to chose from and scripts to follow, including questions to ask and answers give, if you are either innocent or guilty (something that is decided when you select your fate paper out of the bowl at the beginning of the party).
You know we don't do anything halfway, so here we are all dressed up and ready to solve the mystery of poor Karl's murder by pizza cutter in the pantry at the pizzeria! Delia was SO into playing her character, she admitted she wasn't really following the whole murder thing when it was time to point a finger at a suspect!
Murder at the Pizzeria starring:
~Auntie Kris as Una Cornetto, the sweet ice cream scooper who went into business with Karl and was owed lots of money by him.
~Ella as Donna Canneloni, the crime boss who competed with Karl and had some shady business deals with him.
~Jen as Alona Novella, the librarian with a checkered past, whose library stood to gain a huge inheritance from Karl's will.
~Dave as Mayor Fiasco, the bumbling goofball Mayor who wears and cape and silly socks and does other strange, nonsensical things.
~Delia as Poni Danza, the circus performer whose beloved horse partner, Sparkles, ran away after Karl spooked it with a camera flash.
~Cole as Mario Carto, the incompetent plumber with an Italian accent...who is really a Swedish spy (that only Karl knew about)!
~Miles as Rocky Marciano, the heavyweight boxer who was bribed by Karl to throw fights for bets.
~Uncle Kyle as Francisco Benedicto the monk who delivered all his lines in a chant, who mistakenly heard Karl's confession about where Karl burried his money one time when he mistook him for a priest.
So you see, everyone was pretty sus. After about an hour of playing our parts and hearing all the details, it was revealed that poor Karl (RIP) was murdered by...Miles, aka Rocky! Awards for best costume, best acting, and best sleuthing were awarded.
Our Murder at the Pizzeria Party ended the only way possible-- with make your own pizzas, of course! And since we are officially in the dry season here, Karl's chalk outline will probably live on my patio for the next 6 months, which I love! I'll smile whenever I see him and remember the fun we all had dressing up and playing silly parts together!
