Mystery of the Howling Noises Dinner Party for 5, 8, or 10 girls ages 9 to 12 $30
Sam’s Uncle Geoff is on an extended vacation in Europe. He has asked his sister-in-law, Meg, to move in with her family to watch his house in his absence. He told her that strange things have been happening there over the past six weeks or less, and he didn’t want the house empty. He didn’t elaborate on the strange happenings.
After being there for about a week, during which time, nothing out of the ordinary was noticed, except some weird howling winds in the woods behind the house, Meg agreed to let Sam host an overnight. Sam and some friends decided that tenting in the backyard woods would be fun, even to cooking their own supper on the girll.
Your guests are invited to come in character. Each character (girls only theme) has their own special T-shirt iron-on so you can give them a simple costume when they arrive. Decorating your house to look like a mansion is easy with the front door decoration. Just follow the script in the complete step-by-step instruction booklet and you and your guests are sure to have a unique evening of fun!
One adult is required for the full party, two helpers have a small part at the end of the party and can be played by parents who arrive 30 minutes before the end of the party.
