Our Murder Mysteries are part interactive, part show, and every table is given the task to band together and solve the mystery. My table was full of Boulderado employees -- Yuko and I, two bellman, one of our valet gentlemen, a front desk agent, a housekeeper, and a server from Q's Restaurant. What follows is our adventures in Murder Mysteries:
- Woohoo! Livetweeting the Murder Mystery! Some guests are already here . . .
- Nate and Chris just ordered our special "Vintage Drink" -- The Manhattan. "It's good, but it's STRONG"
- Getting to know each other at the table and expressing how much each employee contributes to the Boulderado
- We've been taken into the Evergreen Room, which has been converted into a Radio Station for the evening
- Reviewing the Murder Mystery rules: Out of respect for the dead, don't touch the body!
- Reviewing the Murder Mystery rules: Don't remove or deface the clues, or follow the characters out of the room
- We are in October 30th, 1941 from now on (so ignore the laptop and the tweeting)
- Suspenders and pillbox hats and pocket kerchiefs, oh my!
- RT @death_party: And so it begins... But who shall die? And how? And most importantly, how?
- RT @death_party: Or rather... Why?! And why can't the tweeter write properly? Hopefully it shall all soon become clear...
- @death_party is the troupe we always bring in to perform our Murder Mystery shows. They're funny, engaging, and always keep you guessing.
- "Now I may be mistaken, but outside Chicago, an ice pick is not part of a standard formal dinner setting."
- Uh oh. Someone's dead.
- Our table was taken back to the murder scene first out of everyone else!
- RT @death_party: Oo, just about dinnertime. @hotelboulderado always has deliciousness. Also, dinner and murder always go together. Ruh-roh.
- What's for dinner? Green Bean Almondine, Boulderado Au Gratin Potatoes, and Homestyle Cheese Ravioli
- Some of these actors are on the naughty side!
- Virginia Hills just asked Keith if he has a car with a big back seat!
- I'm glad other people are asking questions -- I've had two cocktails already!
- "Oh, I like this table more and more!"
- "I am so confused, I don't even know who's who!"
- Back to the Radio Room for the live performance -- Where's Bob?
- Toby never knew when he signed up for our Murder Mystery that he'd become a part of the show!
- Another dead body -- uh oh!
- Someone else just dropped dead -- double uh oh!
- RT @death_party: More death! Oh noez! And guest actors... A little short for a hero.
- Trying out motives and theories on each other -- no one can agree on anyhing
- Back to examine another crime scene -- two bodies, no ideas yet
- My other team members are examining the clues
- "We need a belt lineup!"
- RT @death_party: While there many clues to be had, I don't know that anyone here has any of them.
- Do we have it? Maybe? I have no idea any more . . .
- RT @death_party: Looking at more bodies... Not as exciting as it sounds.
- It's crunchtime! We have to declare who killed who, how, and why.
- Everyone in the dining area has furrowed brows and confused looks
- "It's time to clarify a few things, because you all have no clue"
- OUR TEAM WON!!!!!
- Signing off my livetweet -- Go Team Hotel Boulderado!
