Hey Mary Lee,
I am playing the Murder at the Four Deuces Teen for my 16th Birthday Party on April 28th (that is in 10 days!!), but I have a small problem:
I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT I AM DOING!!!
I have sent out invitations and *mostly* decided who the ten main suspects are going to be, but I am totally confused about what character info and stuff to send to the guests. I registered with the Event Planner thing...is the Character Guide all they need? (About Big Jim, did I read that I need to assign him a second character too for after he gets murdered?)
And I am really confused about how the game will generally go. I read the Host Guide, but that just confuses me more! I have invited a ton of my friends, and I'm trying to play it cool and act like I've got it under control, but I am really stressing out here!! How long should the game take? I've set the party time from 7-10:30 and I'm wanting to eat, dance, and stuff, so how long is the game supposed to last if we take it fast-paced?
Oh, and I'm inviting about 50 people, so I bought all the extra character packets. A question about that: I bought both the teen extra character packets, but i didn't see a third teen packet, so i got the third regular packet. But there are several duplicate characters! Did I do something wrong? What am I supposed to do?
If you could just tell me what I need to do now, I would be in your debt!!
Thank you!
