It’s a Winter Wonderland… of Murder!
At Dastardly Deeds, we love the holidays. Hot cocoa, a roaring fire, snow falling outside… how perfect is that? What goes along with this quaint imagery is the company of friends and family. With this 2020 holiday season being royally effed up, what could be better than an online holiday party? You still get to visit with your loved ones without the potential of a deadly contagion. Sounds like a win-win to me!
Dastardly Deeds Murder Mysteries has a variety of online games that can help you make this holiday season feel a little bit more normal. Depending on how many people you want to play with or what theme you decide upon, our murder mysteries can fit the bill. Dastardly Deeds’ newest game, Murder at Refuge Ridge Lodge, is the perfect accoutrement to your holiday party! Refuge Ridge Lodge is a picturesque ski lodge and rumors of ghosts and sasquatch abound while you and your friends are snowed-in with a murderer! What could be better to celebrate the holidays or reign in the new year than with a who-done-it mystery set in the snowy mountains? Murder at Refuge Ridge Lodge is a great way to see your people all while staying in the comfort of your own home! Settle down next to that roaring fire (or turn the tv to that yule log channel) and cozy up with a spiced eggnog. It’s a winter wonderland… of murder!
Where were you when the murder occurred?
White Elephant or Secret Santa
Usually, host a White Elephant gift exchange? Nothing is a better replacement than giving your friends the gift of a mystery story! Who’s your Secret Santa? Better yet, who is a murderer? Who is stealing money? Who is planning on the next nefarious act? It’s up to you and your friends and family to ferret out the answers! Now, we all know the time-worn tradition of regifting. No one really wants that giant hot cocoa mug shaped like a winter mitten, that DVD set that you already own through some streaming service, that stale cookie tin from the dollar store. What really is a great holiday experience? A real-time visit with your friends that you haven’t seen in ages! Duh! And if you eat yourself into a holiday cookie coma, your couch is right there to snuggle you. That’s something you won’t get if you go to one of those fancy black tie parties, unless you’re likely to lie down in the middle of a ballroom or event hall. No judgement.
Drink a Toast!
Another thing to note is that when you host or attend an online holiday murder mystery party, you don’t have to worry about imbibing too much and having to make your way home at the end of the night. C’mon, we all know at least one person who invariably drinks too much and then insists that they can make it home. The answer is a resounding no (because you’re a good friend). With an online game, you have no worries about this potential problem. It’s certainly nice to be able to drink with your friends and celebrate the season and not have a care about having to go anywhere or even wear pants (if you choose not to, we won’t tell). This is especially true of New Years’ Eve parties. Sure, dressing up to the nines is fun in its own way, but how fun would it be to be able to dress up only from the waist up? We won’t tell anyone if you wear a cravat and smoking jacket and a pair of sweatpants. Now, that sounds like a great party get-up! Drink a toast to the New Year with your loved ones and enjoy yourself! You deserve it!
