Cruising for Murder

On Saturday, we celebrated my 14th birthday with a murder mystery party: Cruising for Murder. It occurs during the "Captain's Cocktail Reception" onboard the M/V Mystery of the Seas. The whole point of a murder mystery party is to pretend to be your character and talk to people, and then eventually, figure out who is the murderer. The characters for this murder mystery party were a couple celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary, three ambassadress contestants, captain and his daughter, an officer, cruise director and towel boy, a travel critic, purser, bartender and waitress, and the unlucky victim, the ship's own showgirl. These characters were given to fifteen different people (everyone from 7th grade to 12th grade), including myself, and my brother and his friend Wesley. The party was a great success, and everyone had an amazing time. At the end of the party, we had awards for the person who guessed who the murderer was, the person with the most money (that he/she had got whilst blackmailing and bribing other players), the person with the best costume, and the best performance.
