Added: 11/20/2005

Not long after the introduction of the VCR, some party guests had the privilege of participating in one of the new murder-mystery games. Now many of those video games can be purchased on e-bay. There also exist a number of different Websites that give details on the history and the objective of more than one a la carte game. Below you'll find a closer look at one such game.

The Website e-bay offers hosts and hostesses a wide variety of party games with which to entertain their guests. A review of the offerings reveals that an interesting a la carte game exists for almost any type of partygoer. One of the most popular of the various game categories confines itself to mystery games, especially games that require the solving of a crime. Usually this crime is a murder, and the game participants become players in the murder mystery.

Each of these various murder-mystery games asks the players to achieve a given objective. The objective varies from one a la carte game to the next. An explanation of the objective can be found on the Internet. If a host or hostess purchases several of these murder-mysteries, then he or she can offer the guests a night of murder a la whatever they choose. The guests' choice might be determined by the different games' objectives.

For example, one a la carte murder-mystery asks the game players to gather clues, with the game-winner being the player who gets the most clues. Another a la carte game features a race, a race to solve the mystery. Here the fastest player becomes the winner. Yet a third type of the murder-focused games provides each guest with specific "background information." Each guest is asked to take-on the role of someone who might have committed the crime. Hence each guest becomes a possible witness to the murder, a murder a la the imagination of the e-bay writers.

One a la carte game that has recently caught the attention of many party hosts and hostesses recreates the murder-mystery in a popular TV series. This is a game that allows the game players to participate in a CSI type of murder-mystery. As the party guests play this a la cart game they are asked to collect evidence from seven different crime labs. Most commonly the guests choose to start with the interrogation of the various "witnesses."

After completing the full set of interrogations, the players proceed to analyze the results of the autopsy, and they receive a briefing from the lab that has performed the identification of the body. Then the players examine the evidence from the ballistics lab, as well as evidence from the lab that deals with trace elements found at the crime scene. This collection of evidence from 5 different labs works toward the culminating aspect of this a la carte game.

The culmination of the game entails the examination of evidence from the forensics lab, and from the lab where investigators have examined the DNA. This usually contributes greatly to the data that can identify the fictional killer. This also pushes the game players to use the most artful type of language for creating true or fictitious alibis. Here an accused player might want to challenge the process by which the evidence has been collected.

The give and take of the various game players adds significantly to the mystery of this fun and entertaining a la carte game. It is a game that allows all of the guests at a party to leave feeling like they have been genuine participants in a CSI team.
