The public health job market is garbage right now with the election in a few weeks. No one wants to hire since budgets might evaporate. But hey, at least I'm currently employed so that's a plus. Hopefully the Dems will win and continue to fund my career. We're hoping to host a Halloween murder mystery party. It'll be our first time doing anything like that. Anyone ever done that before and have tips? Hope all is well with y'all, especially our Southeast USA contingency.
I've participated as a guest in several murder mystery type events. As a category, social deduction games tend to succeed or fail based on the enthusiasm level of the players. If too many people are checked out, or not willing to get fully into character, then everyone's experience will suffer. With that, consider crafting your guest list based on how keen they are about this kind of game, rather than just because they're your usual crew.
This is super valuable information thank you so much!!
Have you ever read “Games: Agency as Art”? Because this reads as if it’s a paragraph straight out of that book.
