This may be an odd request, but I figure it is the best place to ask.

Do any of you own one of those murder mystery dinner kits which you can buy in larger book stores?

Or know of a place online to download them.

Purchasing this kits completely new are with shipping on the costly side considering you can only play them once.

I will compensate copy and shipment costs. (I believe those dinner kits only contain paper right?)

Thanks folks. To pay for new versions is readily available. But paying tha tmuch cash for something you can use once for a couple of hours, is sorta out there.

Was hoping someone had a much cheaper copy around.

200 guests..........I hope they are not ALL suspects.....because I even have trouble remembering my own name on some days. lol.

This is the right place to ask. Woody and I happen to have quite a few of them. We actually did one with friends while our boat was tied up at the lock on our lovely Trent-Severn water way. It was a blast as we were in costumes on a hot summer day with all the boats passing through the lock wondering what play we were doing? They are packed away right now as we are renovating our house but I will try to dig them up for you. The older ones are on paper and if I remember there is a cassette tape that goes with them for sound effects and clues. Let me know if you want them and where I should send them.

Also, you might be able to buy one cheap from an online auction site like ebay.

Problem they are generally big boxes, would take 15 bucks the ship.
