Why should players be 18 and older?

it is an adult game because it has innuendos that somebody under the age of 18 would not understand or be able to relate to

The game is written with eight characters; however, additional people can play as "background" characters. They won't have scripted lines, but could ask questions of the scripted characters, etc. They could also make assumptions. They can be assigned roles by the host/hostess to partake in the fun - such as detective, witness, neighbor, etc. There's no limit to what you can adapt. Just have fun with it!

I'm interested in throwing a murder mystery party but I have no experience. Is this a good first kit or is there something else that would be better?

This is the first kit that we used when we threw a murder mystery party. Easy instructions. We have everything packaged in plastic bags too.

what are the names of the charaters in the marde gras game?

Characters are Matthew "Gator Crovitz, Alexis DuPre, Bourbon DuPre, Melissa F. DuPre, Connika Gothika, J. Stephen Peek, Cayenne Pepper, and Elise St. Gresch
