- SHERLOCK, ST LOUIS ET CIE
The art and the way to be afraid between friends with the "Murder Party" by Sabine Arnault - France
Mis à jour : 28 août 2019
I'm already scared!
The night has just fallen. A wind to decorate the oxen blows violently, bending the trees in front of my window. The rain mixes with the painting, a beautiful storm is coming. Only in the house, installed behind my desk, facing the window, I observe for a few moments the nature so abused. The light floods with its sweetness my white page on which I will write this article. The atmosphere seems ideal to boost my imagination.
I sink into my thoughts, letting the night absorb me. The setting thus planted, I seek the words that will agree to enter this atmosphere of the "Murder Party".
Plunge into an atmosphere worthy of the greatest novels of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie without forgetting the greatest of this kind that I could not name so much there is gives me chills.
But above all, a question is needed:
What is a Murder Party?
Just these two words give me the tone of the answer, but look further if you want it.
My investigation brings me as the hours scroll down to find a wide variety of specialists in this field that I am about to deliver below, because I confess without shame never to have participated in this huge life-size Cluedo so better to let the professionals and lovers of this game tell us more like for example: the number of players, the theme, decoration, costumes, etc ...
The more I advance in this article, the more the desire to create one titillates me ... to follow ...:)
While waiting for me to decide, I go step by step among all these professionals. The storm is now well and truly there, I am very warm to observe the lightning that split the night, to let me surprise by this show that intertwines in the atmosphere that I need to continue writing.
But it is high time to reveal my favorite ones around the world, and yes for you I have found absolutely great sites that you can also find in the professional directory of Club Sherlock, St Louis and Co.
The list of my favorite ones is far from exhaustive as you can imagine. I will share them as and when promised, meanwhile I let them the initiative to present themselves, let's start with the French sites:

The Murder Party is an entertainment that consists of living, for an evening and with a maximum of realism, a detective adventure with its share of enigma, thrill and action.
The story, written in advance, is played by all participants who each embody a character. Of course, players do not know the story they will live.
More precisely, they only know what directly concerns their character: the context of their presence, their degree of involvement in the plot and the actions they would like to take during the evening.
To ensure the smooth running of the game and the scenario, some characters are played by the organizers. They are the only ones to know the whole story and it is they who organize the incidents of the evening possibly involving some players.
A few days before the game, each participant receives the card of the character he will play during the evening. It contains all the information about it: marital status, past, context, relationships with other characters, dress, character traits ... During the game, players must respect their character.
If, at first sight, the goal of the game is to find the assassin (s), it is above all to live an extraordinary and interactive adventure. Some can take advantage of their character, exploit the meetings or simply let themselves go in the story.
