Hey ! I just wanted to let you know that we hosted our "pool party mystery" last Saturday night and it was a hit! We taped the whole thing and laughed the entire time. We had about 20 people in attendance and everyone really got into their parts. Even after the mystery was solved, everyone stayed in character and continued to have fun until the wee hours of the morning. Before everyone left they were asking when the next one would be. So please let me know when you have another available.

Thanks,

Just thought I would let you know that the party was a big hit. It was hilarious. Everyone dressed according to character and played their parts to the full. The only thing wrong was the night went too quickly, nobody wanted it to end and I think they will be talking about it for quite a while. My daughter who was Ruby Diamondhead said it was the best party she ever had, even better than her 21st birthday which cost a lot more. Everyone now wants to do another one during the summer when we can do it outside with a barbecue, so please make another one available. Thank you so much for making our New Years eve such a memorable evening.

Kind Regards,

What a blast! I am the Recreation Director at the B**** M******** Club and hosted the Murder Mystery for the members of the club. I was very concerned about how the characters would all work out and if they would "get into character" and boy was I surprised! Members came in costume and assumed the their role from the minute they walked into the party. The skits were well written and simple so that the participants could still enjoy the party and be involved as they wished. I recommend this to anyone who wants to impress a group of friends or as a corporate event. We would love to purchase more so please let us know when others become available.

We had our indoor "pool" party last night, here in M***** A*****, a suburb of Jerusalem. Due to the tension we have all been suffering from, we decided
to have a party that would give our friends a chance to relax, laugh and have a great time. It was GREAT! All our friends got into their roles and prepared their costumes perfectly. We started off by having everyone introduce themselves and tell a little bit about themselves. That gave everyone a chance to show off their ******, ****** ********* or other unmentionables. They took their parts seriously and stayed in character all evening. Ralph Roughsurf wore his nametag upside down so he could "read it upside down and remember" his name since he's such a dunce. We asked Lolita Aruba to give the Hula dance lesson, but instead of hula dancing she taught some very interesting and provocative salsa dancing. Everyone followed along - even those whose bodies just don't move like that. The Limbo
dancing was fun also, but the biggest hit of the night was the synchronized swim team. We had a team of seven who wore some (strange paraphernalia). They
did hysterical ballet moves to some very dramatic classical music. It was ...absolutely hysterical! I can't remember the last time we all laughed so hard. My husband, who played the detective did a great Columbo imitation - the benefit of years of watching that show.

We all had a terrific time. Considering that we have been glued to the news and have been praying for a peaceful end to our prolonged conflict, we needed an evening of pure fun and laughter to give us strength. Thanks for a great party package that really left us with little to do but have fun. We would love to hear about other games like this that you have to offer.

That was the best party I have ever done. Everyone got into their roles and you just had to see how they came dressed. It was the best. One of the guests had a great idea ... how about a sequel? Thanks for a great time...clever and funny!

It was a party of a lifetime! Even though our weather didn't cooperate, (it was a lousy 45 degrees!) no one really was too upset, all characters were played out to the finish and we never laughed as hard ever! A lot of people wanted to know where and who so I'm giving them a copy of your homepage. The biggest question was do you have any other theme? So I thought I'd ask. I did got the pack priority mail and hand delivered all invites the next day. The costuming was terrific...so when the pictures start getting developed I'll send you some. Mr. & Mrs. P were perfect too. Again, thanks for all your help, it was the best party we ever had!

WONDERFUL Party!!! Everyone had a blast and they still are talking about it! Each guest played the party to the hilt. Everyone thought it was such a great idea that they received their parts in advance and they all came prepared. I gave everyone your name and told them you were great to work with. Thank you for everything, I am thinking of doing a party annually, so if you come up with more stories please let me know! Thanks

Hi! Just wanted to drop a line and say GREAT GAME! We ran the game last June and had a blast with it! Well written, and easy to follow -- no actual scripts is a HUGE plus for those enjoying the adult beverages. :) Anyway, was just curious if you may know of any other game designers who use the same or similar format for the Murder Mysteries - we're putting a Halloween one together since we had so much fun with the Luau and are open to suggestions. We already bought one from (another.com) -- but kind of lacks the spontaneous flavor of your kit. Not to ramble on, but The Prickly Luau was nearly magical the structure was perfect, and no one called anyone by their real name from the time they arrived! Your kit is a breeze to work with. :) Well, I'm sure ya got better things to do than listen to me. Anyway, thanks and feel free to use me as a reference for anyone looking to buy your kit!

Thank you so much for getting me the game out so quickly. I have to tell you, people have told me that this was the best BBQ I have ever had and I have several per year. My sister-in-law said she never thought that she would take part in something like this, but she was walking around with a ********** *****, telling people their ********. She was so into it and she said that the game lowered everyone's inhibitions. The highlight was the swim team. I have never seen anything so funny. My son and my nephew who are shy were out there doing their ****** *****. Sooooooo funny.
Thank you very much.

Best wishes,

Just wanted to let you know that our Luau was last night and great fun! Everyone really got into it and played the parts really well. Is this the only one you have? We talked about doing another in a couple of months.

I just wanted to let you know that everyone had the "BEST" time last night. The mystery was great and everyone was still calling and thanking us for the best evening they have had in a long time. The way the mystery unfolded was just amazing and no one guessed who the killer really was. Everyone was surprised. After the detective's solved the murder everyone spent the next two hours talking to each other about their characters and laughing about how boldly all twenty-one guests played their parts. No one was shy everyone was truly into their characters. Everyone ask if we would do it again next year. We would love to host another one.
Do you write other story lines like this one? We would be very interested in purchasing another one for next year. Again thank you we had the best time and so did everyone who attended the party. I would totally recommend this to anyone who truly wants to have the perfect LUAU.

Sincerely,
B. and A.Y.

Our party was Saturday! It was AWESOME!! Everyone had a great time. We've discovered who the "HAMS" are in our group. Everyone decided we need to do this again in six months. You mentioned in a previous e-mail that you were writing another script. Again this would be for approximately 30 people. Let me know as soon as possible. We can't wait to do the next one. Thanks again.

I'm still laughing. We had the best party ever!! The weather was beautiful, and the food was good too. But the best part was how everyone was so into their part, brought all sorts of props and supplies, and stayed in character throughout the evening. The synchronized swim team was the highlight of the evening! They had on every type of flotation device you could think of. Thanks for such a great creation- what's next?

Sincerely,

We did your mystery last Saturday & people are still talking about it. I had to be the best party we ever had. We even had a steel drum band. Do you have any other mysteries? Thank you again for making our party a huge success.

Well, we finally did our Murder Luau last night. WHAT A BLAST!! I had worked extra hard on assigning parts. I had already figured that Mr. Prickly was a pretty hard part, so I had my husband play him and I did Peter "just call me Pete" Parrot...a real butch part for me! Our nerd Mr. Hanger and his wife really hammed up their parts and went overboard on the costumes. While the swim team was superb, we laughed till we cried at the hula lesson done to none other that Marty Robbins "Hula Hands." I drafted the most unlikely participants to do the dance and it was a scream. Everyone agreed that it was the best, most unusual party ever. We have done other murder mystery dinner parties, but this one was easy to follow and fun. Do you do any other parties/mysteries??

THANKS!

The party was great. Everybody got into their characters and really played the role. That was the most fun part -most people wore the outfits or brought props your game suggested (especially the Hangers). Some people had figured out who the murderer was just because *** was nervous before the party, then **** drank too much and almost forgot to have *** **** *** *********! Well, that's about it for now, it was really fun.

Last night, we had our Prickly Pineapple Company's Annual Luau and we had a great time. As quoted by a guest who really did not want to have a part, "it was a complete riot."

Thank you

You are right.... We had a blast!!! The party was a huge success!! Three different groups of friends (scout, work and personal friends) met each other for the first time that day, and had a hilarious time getting to know each other. All this because they all wanted to see our "home movies" from our trip to Hawaii last year for our 25th anniversary. We are now hoping to plan a group trip in the future to the "islands".... Everyone got SO into their characters that "special" outfits were concocted for "effect" (...Miles LONG... if you know what I mean...). Grandma & Grandpa Prickly came with ******* and *****... Ralph with his ******* **** ****... a ****** collection extraordinaire... and of course, the swim team!!! We haven't laughed so hard in a long time!! Thank you for making it so easy and so much fun!! I've told several people about your game, hopefully they'll visit your site. If you would like a picture or two let me know, we used a digital camera and they came out pretty good... all 142 of them!

We just had our second Prickly Pineapple Murder Mystery on Saturday and I wanted you to know that both parties were spectacular. Our guest had a great time and we haven't laughed so hard in a really long time. And the big question that I'm sure you hear all the time …Do you have another murder mystery in the works??? If so we would be very interested in hosting another one.

Thank you

The Prickly Pineapple Co. party was a smash. Everyone had a ball. I will be sending you some photos. I have an entire album of that wonderful unforgettable night.

Thank you

Hi, we got the package and the game went terrific. I laid down a blue sheet that we used as a pool and the people danced on it for the synchronized swimmers. Everyone had a great time and I wouldn't discourage people doing this as an inside activity. Once again … thank you.

We've had the party and it was a great success. And I've saved this bit until now - we are a bunch of business executives and professionals doing all these things. We had about 24 people and they dressed up and carried out their parts fantastically. It was a HOOT. The detectives took off our South African police very well and again we had lots of laughs - this added a really South African flavor to the evening.
Thanks again for making this a fun evening.

Love,
