One Of The Girls – School Reunion Mystery (Base Kit For 8 But Expandable To 32 Girls)

What They've Said

Kim Ganderton, Australia

This mystery was written for Kim and her group of girlfriends. Here is her feedback: “Hi Stephanie – everything went really well – the girls excelled themselves – dressed up really well. It was hilarious. One person guessed the murderer… It was great.”

Carol George, USA

“I wrote to you a while back and ordered the murder mystery for a reunion of 12 women who grew up in a red light district. We had a blast! Everyone really got into their roles. Costuming was wonderful. My florist made a tacky arrangement with red carnations, a red light bulb, and fishnet hose for the centerpiece. We spraypainted lightbulbs with red and glitter for each person’s placecards.”

Wendy Frost, USA

Wendy used this for her daughter’s party: “My daughter’s 12th birthday party was a great success! All 16 girls, 12 to 13 year olds, played their suspect roles perfectly, right down to the suggestions of dress. At the dining room table over appetizers, then dinner, then dessert the girls chatted through their acts with ease and excitement. Believe it or not only 2 of the girls guessed correctly. All of the girls thought it to be an “awesome” party! Thanks for the fun. MOM”

Melanie Law, Dubai

“We are all nursery teachers working in Dubai. What a great laugh we had with this party. Everyone had went to a lot of effort with their costumes. No-one guessed who the murder was although there were a lot of accusations flying around. Melanie Law”

Bonnie sent in this feedback about her party (see photo no. 4 above): “Hello, Here’s our entry for your photo competition from our “One of the Girls” party we had for our daughter’s 11th birthday. We had a blast–all the girls had great costumes and took their roles very seriously. We organized it as a reunion for the Class of 2018 (their actual graduation year) and decorated with sports wear and school colors from their high school. We decorated cheap wine glasses (from IKEA) with each of the girl’s character names and “Class of 2018” so they knew where to sit at dinner and could take the glass home as favors. The girls had a bit of trouble getting started with Act I and were a bit confused about who speaks when and when to provide their clues and ended up just going around in a circle and reading their clues. By the time we moved to Act II, they had figured it out and all went swimmingly after that. My only comment about using this with 11 year olds is that there is a lot of reading involved and some kids were not that proficient with some of the vocabulary (“psychologist”). In the future, I might want to edit it a bit or give out the scripts in advance of the party so the girls could review them. They howled about Myrna being CEO of an underwear factory or Diana and the sweaty footballers. There had been a snowstorm that day, but many of the parents remarked there was no way their daughter was going to miss the party because they had been very excited about the party. We ended up giving the website to a couple of parents who thought they might like to purchase a party for themselves. We would definitely do this again–who knows, maybe it will become an annual birthday tradition??! Thanks again for making a great birthday party that was super-easy to execute (no pun intended). Sincerely, Bonnie Carlson-Green (purchaser and mom)”

Dawn House, USA

Dawn sent in this feedback about her party (see photo no. 5 above): “I purchased the play, “One of the Girls” for our Red Hat Chapter. We performed it for a group of 35 red hatted ladies in May and they were all so happy to have the challenge of “who dunnit”. This was our fifth play, but the first purchased from you. They all said, it was the best yet. We would like to enter your contest and I am attaching a picture. You can see that the gals had fun dressing the part and using props to enhance the story line. Hope to hear from you. Dawn House Queen Mother”

“I purchased the “One Of The Girls” dinner party kit and hosted it for my “bunco” group last month. Everyone had a blast. They really got into their characters and had a great time with the costumes. It took us a bit to figure out how to make the clues flow but I think we got the hang of it. One of the girls gave your web site to her mother so that she can host a party for a group that she belongs to. We’ll definitely do it again.

I’d like to share our photo attachment: Bunco girls. Lindsey Ashmore”

Kim sent in this feedback about her “One Of The Girls” party (see photo no. 7 above): “My name is Kim Muoio. I purchased the “One of the Girls” party kit for my neighborhood girl’s night that I hosted on January 19th. There were 21 women who all had a blast at the mystery party. The costumes and acting really made the party! Some of the ladies were having so much fun that they forgot to try to figure out who was the murderer! Thank you for the very entertaining evening! The pictures that I have attached are Angie Mary & Madelle [shown above] and Petunia. Thanks again for a great time, Kim Muoio”
