Clue Themed Party

Every year at halloween I throw a costume party for my sister, my three Vance cousins, and my neice and nephew (It also happens to be near my nephew's birthday). So, the theme this year was the game Clue and, since there were a bunch of girls, we all dressed as Miss Scarlet. Of course my nephew couldn't be Miss Scarlet so he dressed as Professor Plum.(a cowboy Professor Plum) So the first thing I had to figure out was what we would feed people. This is what I came up with : Peacock Fowl (chicken nuggets), Mr. Green's Fresh Fruit (apples and kiwis) , Mrs. White Rolls, Professor Plum's Purple Punch (grape juice, cranberry juice,  ginger ale), and for dessert Miss Scarlet's Parfait (red jello,whipped cream). Here is a picture of the food sitting on the table.

            The next thing I needed to do was find games to play. Unfortunatly I do not have any photos of us playing games. I was much too busy playing them to take pictures. We ,obviously, played Clue.  I will explain only one of the games we played because we played too many to explain them all. It is called The Secret Formula. This is how it is played. Pick a good natured guest and ask him/her to leave the room until he/she is called back. When the good natured guest is gone you will ask the rest of your guests to sit in a circle.When they have done so, explain that the good natured guest will ask each person one question. The person asked has to answer what the person to their left would answer. For example , say Mr. Green was sitting to the right of Mrs. Peacock and was skmoking a pipe. The good natured guest asked him if he was smoking a pipe. He would say,"Absolutly not! I have never smoked a pipe in my life!" Because, you see , Mrs. Peacock does not smoke a pipe. She was to his left and he answered as if  he were Mrs. Peacock. This is the secret formula for the answers you give: you answer what the person to your left would answer. Now that everyone understands what they are supposed to do you call the good  natured guest back into the room. Tell him/her that they can ask each person only one question and that from those questions the good natured guest must try to guess what the formula for answering is. If need be they can go around the circle more than once. You can also make up different formulas to keep the game going longer. So then after we finished all the games we watched a mystery movie. Because there were people there who would not enjoy a murder mystery (including me) we watched the Jerry Lewis mystery " It's Only Money". We then went to bed ( because it was also a sleepover) and in the morning we took Miss Scarlet and Professor Plum pictures. Here are some of those:

                                           And that is how I threw a creative party.
