Updates: Upcoming Events and Progress

More events have been planned for the upcoming months, so stay tuned!

This Friday, October 18th, the Loyola Marymount University Animation Club will be hosting Hero Wanted, PUYDD's Legend of Zelda themed party, from 7pm to 10pm. Admission is restricted to students of the university, and admission is $5.

An application was just sent in for Hero Wanted to be an event at SacAnime Winter 2014, this January 3rd - 4th. Scheduling will take place beginning mid-November, and it will promptly be added to the calendar once we have more information. The event's forum thread will be posted here once it is available.

A date for the Daggerville murder mystery is still pending, but a review will follow promptly.

Additionally, we have been in the works of creating two new murder mystery experiences for our audiences, as well as some new graphics and features for this website. Exciting things are on their way!

Articles are running tight this time of year, due to the primary author's college course load. We are working on obtaining more guest articles for your viewing pleasure. If interested in writing an article for Party Until You Drop Dead, please visit our Contact Us page!

Thank you for your patience,

Review: Murder Mystery Dinner Theater at Zio Fraedos - Murder On the Oriental Rug

Oh no! A beloved superstar has been murdered! With many suspects and everything going horribly wrong, the detective has a tough case ahead of him. . . until the director calls cut and the real mystery begins! The scene is set by a troupe of actors dreaming of their names in lights on Broadway until they find out that their director has other ideas for them. In this twist of a whodunnit by Look Out World Events, the audience at Zio Fraedos was tasked with solving the murder of a character played by an actor. . . played by an actor?

Murder Mystery Dinner Theater at Zio Fradeos

Hello, fellow felons!

The Murder Mystery Dinner Theater at Zio Fradeo's (hosted by Look Out World Events) is coming up on June 12th (the event has a second and third date of August 9th and September 13th for those of you with busy schedules), and I finally bought my tickets! If anyone else is interested in attending a dinner of classic Italian food with a splash of intrigue and murder on the side in the San Francisco Bay Area, you can purchase tickets here.

Following the event, I will post a synopsis and review here for all to read.

Hope to see you there!

Murder 101: How to Be A Guest At A Murder Mystery Party

Now that we’ve already covered the basics of murder mystery parties:

what they are and the different types of games, and you know what you’re getting into by accepting that party invitation, its time to explain what happens at the parties. (And if you’ve never participated in this type of event before, it might be a good idea to go ahead and read those two articles to get more information.) Maybe you’ve never been to a party before and want to know what will be expected of you, or you’re a murder mystery vet and just want to make sure you’re doing it right, either way, we’ll cover everything you need to know about being a guest at a murder mystery party.

Important note:

This article assumes that you are not attending a dinner theater murder mystery(not sure what a dinner theater is? Read about it here). Because dinner theaters differ so much in play from the other two types, a corresponding article will be posted soon after this one.

While murder mysteries are a great way to get together with your friends and family to have some fun, it cannot be denied that entertaining people has its drawbacks. Between cleaning, cooking, decorating, getting packets and a costume together, prep-word can be exhausting.

Updates Updates Updates!

Long time no see, guests!

As you can probably tell from the inactivity of my blog for the last month or so, I had either dropped off the face of the earth or the FBI had come for me because I run a blog about fake murder. Fortunately, it was neither of those and I was simply consumed with finals and preparation for my FanimeCon 2013 event, LoZ MurderMystery: Hero Wanted. And then none of my pre-scheduled posts actually posted. Oye.

Ah, well. Time for updates to get things back on track!

LoZ MurderMystery: Hero Wanted at FanimeCon 2013
After being scheduled for a time slot on friday at 9pm, I was notified two days before the event that I would be rescheduled to 4pm due to a scheduling error. Nothing was done to notify the guests of the change, so the event had to be cancelled. Thank you so much to those of you who stuck around while I dealt with all of the logistical issues! (and those of you who showed up at the old time listed on the schedule!)
