## Description

Put on your own mystery dinner theater: murder's on the menu, and everyone's a suspect in this grownup game for 6 to 8 players. The game includes everything you need to serve up mystery, murder, and fun: a shopping list, menus, recipes by cookbook author Sandra Gluck, eight party invitations and envelopes, place cards, secret clues and, best of all, a murder mystery to solve. The annual wine-tasting festival in California Wine Country is in full swing when the body of local vineyard owner, Barry Underwood, is found hidden beneath his wine cellar. Barry has been missing for six long years but with the discovery of his body comes a wealth of new clues to solve the mystery. It's a vintage murder and you may be a suspect. Just invite your friends to dress up and play the roles of the devious suspects (each with his or her own character booklet with roles and background info): Otto Von Schnapps, Tiny Bubbles, Papa Vito, Marilyn Merlot, Ralph Rottingrape, Hedy Shablee, Bonny Lass, and Bud Wizer. Serve up a meal or light snack, play the included CD with its introduction, summary of events, and solution to the crime. Find out who killed California vineyard owner Barry Underwood, and why. In 1985, University Games introduced the Murder Mystery Party to the world as its first game. 31 years later, these parties-in-a-box still include everything players needs to solve a murder during an evening with friends. Ages 18 years and up.

Review: Great game for birthday dinner parties - Played this game for a birthday dinner party with 7 friends. We loved it. The two extra characters are not suspects, but they still feel very involved in the game. It's pretty easy to follow, and not extremely obvious who the murderer is. (My biggest pet peeve with mysteries is instantly figuring it out)
Review: Great Intro Game for Murder Mystery Parties - "A Taste for Wine and Murder" was my first experience with a Murder Mystery Game. If you have any interest in this type of party, I would suggest you try this version first. It was purchased as a Christmas gift and later used as a surprise, mystery-themed birthday party; planning was easy and even the guest of honor was able to get into the fun without prior knowledge. The box contains Character Booklets, invitations, name-tags, Secret Clues for each guest as well as a Party Planner Booklet, a CD. The Party Planner booklet contains the rules, as well as suggestions for decorations and menus. This is a great "intro" version to Murder Mystery Parties. The game is designed for six players (you need at least six for it to work properly) and there are two addition roles for guests who are not suspects. The Character Booklets have easy-to-follow, short scripts, and the CD helps narrate the story. Each suspect is given "public information", in which they share with the group, and "private information", which is only to be revealed when asked. The Character booklets even tell you when to ask another character for more information, and when to reveal "secret clues" to the other guests. The clues are funny and creative and vary from useful information to red herrings. This allows for multiple motives and opportunities among the characters, which will keep you guessing until the "murderer" is revealed. One particularly nice thing about this version is that the "murderer" does not know he or she is the murderer until round three, which gives everyone an opportunity to ask questions and form their own suspicions. The game is broken into three "rounds" which works great if you are planning a dinner and want to play between courses. You can make it as elaborate or as simple as you would like. Homemade costumes and decorations from the Dollar Store made our party awesome. Overall: I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys this type of party, especially to anyone who has never hosted or participated in one before. It's a fun, easy game that will have you laughing, as well as yelling out murderous accusations to your friends and family. Choose a group who will enjoy having fun, being silly and using their powers of deduction. The only drawback is that there is only one game in the box, which means that once you play it, you'll know the solution.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why should players be 18 and older?**
A: it is an adult game because it has innuendos that somebody under the age of 18 would not understand or be able to relate to

**Q: How many can play?**
A: The game is written with eight characters; however, additional people can play as "background" characters.  They won't have scripted lines, but could ask questions of the scripted characters, etc.  They could also make assumptions.  They can be assigned roles by the host/hostess to partake in the fun - such as detective, witness, neighbor, etc.  There's no limit to what you can adapt.  Just have fun with it!

**Q: I'm interested in throwing a murder mystery party but I have no experience. Is this a good first kit or is there something else that would be better?**
A: This is the first kit that we used when we threw a murder mystery party. Easy instructions. We have everything packaged in plastic bags too.

**Q: what are the names of the charaters in the marde gras game?**
A: Characters are Matthew "Gator Crovitz, Alexis DuPre, Bourbon DuPre, Melissa F. DuPre, Connika Gothika, J. Stephen Peek, Cayenne Pepper, and Elise St. Gresch

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of fun, a few recommendations
*by P***J on March 24, 2026*

Everything you need in the box. However some suggestions that will make your party flow better. If you are the host, read all the players folders, listen to all the audio chapters before, don't hand out the extra clues until they should be read. The reason are as follows. It's not clear nor written when you should play the audio chapters. Its also not written or clear when a scene is over. The extra clues have to be read in a specific scene and if you hand them out, they will just open them not knowing. A recommendation for the company is to create a host guide, telling them what page they should read or actn.
