Cindy Fischer’s Way out West party

“Being from a small Nebraska town we don’t have many opportunities for this style of entertainment. So I decided to host a murder mystery night, after researching many options I kept coming back to Freeform Games!

“I loved the idea of a game that does not have a scripted feel and one where the night and entertainment was only limited by what we could imagine. So Way Out West was our first taste of a murder mystery. No one in our group had ever done one so we had no idea what we were in for, the most fun we could have!

“I can say that I seen sides of my friends last night that I never knew existed. We even had two people who seen us setting up at our location that wanted to join in our murder mystery.

“Once everyone arrived we knew we were going to have to change a few people’s characters since we had a few who at the last minute called to cancel, but everyone stepped up and we had no hitches. I ended up taking their original characters to the bar with me and when someone needed to interact with them I assumed those characters. This allowed us to keep all the plots flowing smoothly.

“Some of the highlights from the night include our high dark shoot out in front of the saloon, and [a particular character]’s numerous trips to our jail’s holding tank.

“At the end of the night we decided that this was going to become a twice a year event for us since everyone had such a great time! In fact we even had a couple pull up as we were setting up for the evening and ask what we were up to then ask to join in with us!

“Thanks for helping us make some great memories.”
