Coming up with a thoughtful and suitable Mother’s Day gift isn’t always easy. Do you go for the classic flowers and chocolate? Nice, certainly, but they don’t last. Do you opt for something to pamper like bath treats or skin care? They can be a little clichéd and your Mum may already have enough of the stuff to open her own shop.
This year, why not give a gift every Mum wants – to spend quality time together as a family, and to solve a bloody murder! Give a murder mystery game this Mother’s Day.
A chance to get dressed up as their favourite era
One of the best parts of playing a murder mystery game is getting glammed up and playing a fun character. For many Mums, it is a chance to dust off their bell bottoms, spandex, or leather jackets and revisit the decade they grew up. Alternatively, you can reach further back into the past and enjoy the glitz and glamour of the 1920s and 30s, or even have a ball with a Bridgerton-inspired theme.
When choosing which game to go for, think about what your Mum really likes, what style of outfit, nibbles, music, and even slang she might prefer. Then you can really settle on something that she will adore.
A game to suit every taste and preference
We are proud of our wide variety of games which includes a theme and format to suit pretty much every Mum. For those bigger families out there like ours, we have mingling evidence based options for 10-20 in 90s, 00s, Harry Potter, and 60s themes. For those who will have a smaller group and prefer a more scripted game, here are some of our top picks for Mother’s Day this year:
- Grease Frightening – whether you are more of a Pink Lady or a T-Bird, get your 50s look on and prepare for plenty of karaoke before the night is over!
- The Ton’s Tea Party – perfectly suited for a garden party at this time of year, this Bridgerton-themed game is truly the Diamond of the season.
- Camp Deadwood – for those mums that grew up in the 80s, it is time to feel the burn as the mystery hots up in this 1980s horror inspired game.
- Manor House Mystery – for the fan of the truly classic house party mystery, this Agatha Christie style 1930s game is perfect for anyone who loves a will, a secret child, and all the trappings of a country estate party.
Mother knows best
Did you know that Sisters Grimm actually began with us writing a game as a present for our Mum? We wanted to give her something special, something unique, and she was always a huge fan of murder mysteries.
She had bought us games before to play as a family and we all adored them, but they were only written with one killer so Mum always knew whodunit and couldn’t play. We wrote her a game where anyone could be the killer and the rest is history. Now we still get our Mum to test every game we write along with the rest of our family, and she always offers the best insights.
If your Mother enjoys the likes of Sherlock, Benoit Blanc, or Poirot, one of our games could well be the perfect gift for you to give this year. And if she is anything like our Mum, she will love spending time as a family, getting dressed up, but also beating you to the answer in the end!
