Melissa Midcap’s The Reality is Murder party
“Finally finally finally, after three or four failed attempts over a couple of years, we finally got enough people at the same time to be able to play The Reality is Murder in Oct 2021!!
“We had been having good weather that week, so we were going to include the deck outside as part of the playing area and even grill outside as part of the dinner. BUT, the weather turned lousy that weekend and we had to keep it inside. There was a chef in the game, so the guy who caters these for us took the part and had fun with that.
“We always look for creative ways to settle duels within the theme of the game. So – survival skills! This time we numbered a bunch of corks and put them in a wooden box. Feuding players used small knives from Costa Rica to stab at the corks. The higher number would win. There were two of each number to allow for a possible tie.
“We loved that in the middle of the game we went “live on the air” for a scheduled show. Very nice touch. It was crazy getting that many people to be available on the same date, but we are glad it finally worked out.
“Fun fun fun!!”
