Let&#8217;s see if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playingwithmurder.com\/uk\/set-sail-for-disaster-p-777.html\">Set Sail For Disaster<\/a> was a deadly success or a murderous disaster.\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I hosted a Murder Mystery party aboard the Orient Express last year for Halloween, and everyone could NOT stop talking about it. So, of course, I had to carry on the tradition! We had a difficult time deciding between the cruise ship kit or casino night kit, but we finally decided on \u201cSet Sail for Disaster.\u201d I was so excited that this year\u2019s party lived up to everyone\u2019s high expectations again this year.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/alex8.jpg\" alt=\"Small Group\"><\/p>\n<p>\nAlex decided to give gifts to the best actor, actress, and guest with the best costume.  This was intended to motivate people to get into the spirit of things.\n<\/p>\n<p>Who do you think won the contest?\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/alex11.jpg\" alt=\"Double Trouble\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/alex1.jpeg\" alt=\"Actress\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/alex12.jpg\" alt=\"Actress2\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/alex3.jpeg\" alt=\"Cat\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/alex6.jpg\" alt=\"Double\"><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Some of the guests posted about the event on Facebook saying that \u201cAlex did it again! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playingwithmurder.com\/uk\/set-sail-for-disaster-p-777.html\" id=\"alex-set-sail-for-disaster\">Set Sail for Disaster<\/a> was a deadly success\u201d and \u201cthanks for putting this together. It was great.\u201d This party was in October, but we\u2019re still talking about it!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nAlex made a very cool beverage that she dubbed &#8220;Ocean Water,\u201d but it earned other nicknames such as \u201cBlue Drank\u201d and \u201cDeath Juice\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/alex4.jpg\" alt=\"death juice\"><\/p>\n<p>\nThe decorations and costumes were definitely top notch.  We can&#8217;t wait to see what murder mystery Alex will choose for 2018!\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/alex7.jpg\" alt=\"decor\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/alex10.jpg\" alt=\"coolness\"><\/p>\n<p>\nSome of the menu items for the evening included a cruise ship style buffet that included shrimp cocktail and seafood ravioli.  The guests also brought wonderful appetizers and tasty desserts.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMusic for the evening included Jimmy Buffet, Slightly Stoopid, and plenty of other beach type songs to assist in setting the mood.<br \/>\nAlex also used a sound machine with a thunder storm setting and purchased a couple of fake cruise ship portholes. She stuck these to the walls of her foyer. She also had a flotation device and maritime flags that she made herself!\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>My favorite way we set the mood were the costumes!! My friends outdid themselves again! Some people even committed to accents the entire night!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nIt is always a pleasure to hear about the joy our murder mysteries bring to families and various types of groups.  We do hope that Alex will send us more great pictures and wonderful details about her next party.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/alex5.jpg\" alt=\"Everyone\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we feature Alex and her continued tradition of hosting a murder mystery party for Halloween.
