Thread: Help with rules for The MURDER WINKING GAME :)

Tweet

Hello everyone!

I am new, and have so enjoyed all the ideas on this forum! I so much adore Halloween and we host an annual Halloween party every year.

I am wanting to play the MURDER WINKING game, and have already printed out slips with the murderer, and all the deaths that must be acted out.

Here is my problem....

I have a prize for the best acted out death...

but how do I award the murderer, and/or do I allow people to pick him out??? and if they are right, then what??? put the slip back in?? Im confused on that part.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Julie

I'm still a newbie here too, but from what I can tell (having read more than a few posts, trying to find games for my party) it seems that there are no set rules. That ppl basically adapt the game to work for them. I know that's probably not of much help sorry

Thanks, Heather...I am thinking that way pretty much too....I have read and re read most of the posts about this game.....think I will just have to wing it....and say the one who picks the murderer wins a prize automatically....;p luck of the draw.


happy Haunting!

Well I did it with teens. There are pics of some murders in my album. Bcuz it was with teens what I did was posted the guessing rules again next to the guessing cauldron and had slips of paper for them to write down the time, their name and the murderers name. What I told them is that if no one guessed who the murderer was then the murderer would get a prize. But if they figured out who it was before they died then the first one to guess would win. In reality, I gave the best death, the first guess and the murderer all a prize. The best death and the murderer were slightly nicer because I admire those that get into it more then the nark. Lol If you need any of my files for the slips of paper, deaths, instructions or signs just pm me and I'll send what you need.

I did this game last year at my party. At first I didn't know how well it would go over with everyone. They all got into it and loved it. I just gave the murderer a bottle of vampire wine for doing a good job. Nobody knew who it was and if they did they never said it to anyone. I just had a wooden box filled with scrolls that explained the way the game went and when they came to the door told them to pick one and not show it to anyone. That was all I said and the game went well. Will be doing it again this time and I think I will leave it up to the guest's which way they want to die. It was alot of fun and did not interrupt the party and lasted all night. My murderer did an outstanding job.

We played last year and I asked people not to identify the murderer so that we could continue playing. A few people did guess who it was and tried really hard to avoid her, but did get caught in the end. One person did not act out her death because she just didn't want to play, that was fine too.
We gave a prize to the best death, actually 2 prizes because they were so dramatically done, and a gift to the murderer.

thanks, everyone! i really appreciate it!

I did it last year with about 60 people and it went over AMAZING!! Everybody had a blast and by the end of the night people who didn't get murdered wished that they had. We played it without caring who the murderer was. In fact, we had a few different murderers throughout the night because some people just got a kick out of it. One person died without the murderer killing them, hahaha.. Someone just winked at them regular and they thought they were being murdered. Just do it and have fun. Don't worry about rules.

Great Idea, StreetScream!

and thanks everyone!!!

We played it last year and it was such a hit! My husband came up with the idea of giving the "Winner" (either the Winker or the correct guess) a hundred grand candy bar! Kudos to my husband.
