Murder Mystery Party: A Taste for Wine and Murder (Limited Edition)

Everyone’s a suspect when murder is on the menu. Here’s everything you need to serve up mystery, murder, and fun – party planner, invitations, recipes – plus a tasty murder to solve. Just invite five to seven of your friends to join you for dress up and to play the roles of devious suspects. Serve up a meal or light snack, and you’re ready for some drop-dead fun! It’s a tour of the California Wine Country with its peaceful vineyards and picturesque wineries. The annual wine-tasting festival is in full swing when the body of a local vineyard owner, Barry Underwood, is found beneath his wine cellar. Barry has been missing for five 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.

Welcome to A TASTE FOR WINE AND MURDER, one mystery in the Murder Mystery Party game series from University Games. This is an interactive murder mystery party game in which your guests for the evening become characters suspected of the crime in question. The crime must be solved before the evening is out. It is in each guest’s best interest to prove their innocence by interrogating their fellow suspects until the murderer is exposed.

It is your duty as a party organizer to see that the rules are observed. However, on no account should you read any of the Character Booklets or listen to the Compact Disc in advance. Cast your guests according to the character profiles printed on the invitations, keeping a character for yourself, but remember that no one will prove to be quite what they seem. There are eight characters in all-six suspects and two extra guests (four men and four women). The six suspects must be present at your mystery party for it to play properly.
