Product Description
Roley City Times August 5, 1959 Roley High Reunion To Feature Rock N. Roley Roley City High School Class of 1954 celebrates its fifth reunion this month with a weekend of activities highlighted by a rock & roll concert featuring the class’ most illustrious graduate, Rock N. Roley. The two-and-a-half-hour performance will begin at 3:00 p.m., Saturday, August 15, and is expected to fill the Roley City Municipal Auditorium. “Rock has fond memories of Roley High,” said the star’s business manager, Joseph K. Awledge, “and he’s looking forward to seeing many of his old friends again.”Amazon.com
The Class of ’54 installment of How to Host a Murder includes all the necessary items for planning and hosting a four-hour mystery dinner party for eight people. It is probably the easiest in the series for the aspiring murder-party host, but not because the mystery is easy to solve. Rather, it’s because take-out burgers and fries would only enhance the game, and most of the players will have no problem putting together a costume (OK, a poodle skirt could be a bit tricky to find–but it isn’t required). Nevertheless, the designers of the game’s Host Guide have put together a more challenging (and more tasty) menu of brandied pot roast for ambitious hosts, and the cassette tape, featuring a malt shop atmosphere and Sargent Joe Flighty’s tough-cop narrative, goes a long way toward setting the mood. After listening to the taped introduction, each of the eight players must scour the player books to find out who his or her character will be–from Joe Dierdre C. Deucer to Joseph K. Awledge. All are graduates of Roley City High’s class of ’54, but only one is the killer of rock star Rock N. Roley. Who will solve the murder? In addition to the Host Guide, eight player’s books, and the tape, the package contains a map of the crime scene, secret clues, guest invitations, and nametags. –Patrick O’Kelley

This game was alright. It was really fun to see all of my friends dressed up and i very much liked the theme. The problem was that the box smelled horribly on the inside that i felt sick while i was writing the invitations. i also expected the game to be different. i expected it to be more of a mingling game but we kind of sat around in a circle group and did it. the plot also gets confusing and has a sort of bad ending.
