Why a murder mystery works for a girls trip

Everyone already has a character.

The dramatic one, the one who can’t keep a secret, the one who’s suspiciously calm. Every group has a cast list ready to go.

A murder mystery hands everyone a character and a costume, and lets them play it all night while the clues come out.

Nobody guesses right. Everybody accuses the person they’ve been dying to accuse for years.

It was always going to be the quiet one.

What a murder mystery is like

Costumes on, suspects everywhere.

A murder mystery usually means everyone plays a character, often in costume, and clues come out over the night, often over dinner, until someone works out whodunnit.

  1. Your character arrives.

    A name, a backstory and a costume, chosen with far too much enthusiasm.

  2. The clues come out.

    Round by round, with alibis that fall apart and accusations that get personal.

  3. The big reveal.

    Somebody did it. Nobody guessed right. Everyone claims they knew.

  4. Friends in pyjamas at a candlelit birthday dinner

    Then make it a weekend.

    Book it, then pick a girls weekend in your city, with somewhere to stay, the food, the drinks and where to next, already in an order that works.

What kind of girls group a murder mystery suits

The ones who love a dress up.

It suits the friend who’s had her costume planned since the invitation, and the one who’ll be accused first no matter what.

Friends in face masks with wine on a night in

The dress up people.

A character and a costume for everyone.

The drama lovers.

Accusations, alibis and a big reveal.

The night in crowd.

Usually played over dinner, nobody going anywhere.

Every age at the table.

From the twenty somethings to the friends who’ve been to every birthday since school.

A milestone birthday.

A theme everyone commits to.

Friends from different chapters.

Nothing breaks the ice like accusing someone you met an hour ago.

Real girls trip reviews

In their own words, exactly as written.

Three women in pyjamas and sheet masks taking a selfie on a sofa

We're mums. We're wives. We're single. We're divorced. We're executives. We're exhausted. We're not exhausted. We're all completely different.

But we're still the girls who have known each other for 20 years.

This weekend felt like making space for that part of our lives again.

Loved every second.

My friends response when I sent the option through was literally "yep this is us".

That was all I needed.

A game, or a whole girls weekend

Play it, then keep going.

A dress up night at someone’s house is great until somebody has to clean up and everyone else has to drive home.

A My Ultimate weekend is the whole thing in one booking: somewhere to stay, something to do built in, the food, the drinks and where to next, so the day turns into a weekend together.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.One living room for the getting ready, the debrief and the morning coffee.
One front door at the end of the night.Everyone heads home to the same place, still arguing about who did it.
