A Murderous Night in Niles

Last night we hosted a group of friends at our house to play the Murder Mystery Game “The Grapes of Frath”.  My husband really enjoys these games and we have a fun time planning everything. It takes quite a bit of work, especially the putting the dinner together and decorating but they are a lot of fun.

For this specific one, the setting is June 1928 aboard Archibald Frath’s yacht “Le Voyeur” cruising the Mediterranean sea. At the beginning of the voyage it is discovered that Archibald Frath is dead and the game, of course, centers around “Who Did It?”
