Host a ‘Killer’ BBQ this Father’s Day
With Father’s Day fast approaching it is time to decide what kind of gift to get. Something touching or more of a joke? A tie? A funny if incredibly insulting card? Tools or garden equipment? We say the best gift you can give is time spent together doing something your dad will enjoy!
A classic stereotype about dads is that they love to grill, and want nothing more for Father’s Day than to have a BBQ and maybe drink a cold beer or two. This year, why not add an extra level of grilling to the party with a murder mystery game tailored to suit your dad? Check out our guide below for a Father’s Day mystery to die for…
Pick your game
No two people are exactly alike, and you know your father best, but we do have a few games that our own dad liked the most and that go well with a sunny garden party. Throw him a retro party from the decade he was born or that he likes best with our 60s, 80s, and 90s murder mysteries:
· A Killer 60s Festival – it’s the swinging 60s and there is no shortage of groovy tunes at Freedom Fest, but be warned. With a killer on the loose, this is no time to give peace a chance!
· Game Over – this 1980s arcade themed mystery is perfect for fathers who loved Pacman, dance mat, and still love to compete now! Can you catch the killer before it’s game over?
· Spice Up Your Death – prepare to get jiggy with it at a music award after party, where a murder on the dancefloor is just the start of your troubles. Perfect for wannabe detectives and any fan of 90s music, say you’ll be there!
· Murder on the Orbit Excess – ideal for any father who likes space, the on-going space race, or just like to see an Alexa-esque character and a lot of carnage. Be warned, in space everyone will hear you scream!
As instant digital downloads, you don’t have to worry about the post or the fact that it is a Sunday. You can have a dad specific gift in an instant, right up until the party begins.
Dinner fit for a king
Pair your food and drinks with your party theme for a next level event, and don’t forget dad’s favourites! Grab a bite on the go with a festival foods based menu of burgers, wraps, and hot dogs. With a cooler or tub of ice and cans of beers and ciders, you are all set for a relaxed afternoon – with a killer on the loose!
Create a menu that is out of this world with space themed dishes like supernova spicy wings, planet pizzas, and more. Each of our games includes cocktail and drink suggestions and we have even added bottle labels so make sure to snap a few pics of an unforgettable father’s day experience.
Don’t forget the killer extras
There are many extras included with your game, as well as additional steps you can take to make this a father’s day to die for. Set the crime scene with a Spotify playlist to match your game or make your own with your dad’s favourite tunes. Rearrange the furniture to create a dancefloor or set up blankets and even a tent in the garden for your festival BBQ.
Get your speakers set up and plan for some killer karaoke once you catch the murderer for a really scary night, and check out our suggestions for games to keep the party going. Remember it’s your dad’s day, so try and pick out his favourite things to do and get ready for an evening to die for!
