If you have a large group of kids, it will help to have additional support on hand to guide them through all the labs. You'll also need a victim for your crime scene. Sources (shops, web sites) for things you may not have around your home are included in the kit.ĪDDITIONAL HELP: You will need a person to play a judge and another to play the owner of an email service business (small roles, quick scenes set up for the teams to acquire a clue). Most supplies you will have around your home or can be purchased at your local office supply store.
On average it should take about 8 to 10 hours of total prep time, to include shopping, finger and foot printing and setting up the displays/labs as well as the crime scene. PRE-GAME PREP TIME: IMPORTANT! This game takes quite a bit of prep time to prepare the crime scene and evidence.
As you add on teams over 6 you might want to set up a duplicate set of labs so the teams aren't getting in each other's way or waiting to get into a lab. One note: The teams will visit the crime scene and 6 forensic labs. You can have an infinite number of teams the game just works much better with 2-3 kids on a team. NUMBER OF TEAMS or PARTICIPANTS: Divide all the kids up into teams consisting of 2-3 kids on each team. If they share their answers with another team, that team may beat them to the final solution. Each team is competing against each other so secrecy is a must. After visiting all the labs they will need to sit down and go through their answers to see if they can identify the suspect. The object of the game is to visit all the labs and compare their collected evidence against the crime databases to see what they can find out about the victim and the suspect. Once they have completed their viewing and taken careful notes, they'll visit 6 forensic labs. All the party attendees will be able to view, photograph and document the evidence left at the scene. You'll chose death by gun shot, stabbing, bludgeoning or strangulation based on the age of the kids attending the party - gunshots have quite a bit of blood but strangulation has very little. This way the actual criminal is investigating his or herself without knowing it.Īs the facilitator you will need to set up a crime scene somewhere where the party is being held (you and your volunteer victim are gonna have fun setting this up!). This template allows you to modify the suspect's identity to be anyone who will be attending the party without their knowledge. You, as the facilitator, will provide the different labs to enable the kids to use their collected evidence to assemble a profile of the suspect. The mystery game is designed to allow the kids to "solve" a crime.
