Best Friendsgiving Mystery Party Themes

Certain themes just seem to capture the essence of Thanksgiving and the onset of the festive season. There are a few basic concepts that always go over well:

  • Historical eras
  • Holiday themes
  • Classic whodunnits

And it just so happens that we have the perfect themes for these, so your fun Friendsgiving games will be exactly what your guests need!

Murder at the Juice Joint

Transport your guests to a 1920s speakeasy. Flapper dresses, hidden clues, and underground dealings make this a roaring good time.

One of the downsides to a holiday in November is that everyone seems to be trapped inside because of the chilly weather. But that’s great news when you’re supposed to be hiding underground, anyway!

A Clueless Murder

Embrace elegance and suspense in this classic whodunnit. Every guest is a potential suspect, and the chills never stop.

If you close your eyes and imagine a murder mystery story, this is the one you think of. The luxurious feeling gives guests the excuse to dress up nicely, but the theme of the game lets them move over to the naughty side.

Totally Rad 80s Prom Gone Bad

Rock those leg warmers and neon shades as you revisit an 80s prom. But, watch out! Not everything is as tubular as it seems.

Bright colors and fun music are sure to warm up that cold November night, so this theme is just the ticket to bringing more spice into your early-winter festivities.

Ho Ho Homicide

Why not jump the gun on Christmas? Embrace the Santa season early, sprinkled with a dash of mystery.

It’s not a holiday usually associated with criminal acts (unless you count the breaking and entering by a certain jolly old elf), but that’s what makes this twist so fun. Plus, the stores have had Christmas decor on sale for months by now, so you won’t have trouble finding decorations.

Plenty of Fun Friendsgiving Games for Work or Home
