Product Description
It is September 1928 in Chicago. Notorious gangster Harold “Hal” Coppone’s return is expected to trigger a wave of violence. Instead, Coppone has disappeared, mystifying police and the criminal underworld. To the small group gathered in a speakeasy near Coppone’s headquarters, the crimelord’s whereabouts become only part of the mystery when murder is discovered. There’s no shortage of suspects, motives, speakeasy glamor or gorgeous flappers in this crime tale.Amazon.com
Know people with a taste for murder mysteries? Even if they’re not fans of Agatha Christie, they’ll have a wonderful evening with The Chicago Caper. Like all of the theme parties in the How to Host a Murder series, this boxed set provides everything you need to plan and host a four- to five-hour dinner party. The game, designed for eight players, each of whom takes on a role in the drama, begins with a cassette complete with 1920s jazz and a sultry-voiced barkeep who provides the first set of clues. Hal Coppone is dead, she announces. One of the guests is the murderer. From there, each player must reveal what he or she knows–and conceal the character’s dark secrets–all with the guidance of a personalized game book. While the fun is certain to revolve around the rich cast of characters (including Molly M. Awbsterr, Ernie G. Ambler, and Eddie “Socks” R. Gyle), the Host Guide provides a number of suggestions to enrich the evening, including delicious recipes designed to fit with the theme. 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

How to Host a Murder - The Chicago Caper
Very high on cheese which can be fun. This game was confusing where it was trying to be smart. I reccomend a Clue themed party instead. And 30 bucks isn’t a great deal for a one time use thing.

Sorry but we have hosted several other titles in this series and this one was the worst by far. Other titles were clever and down right good fun. This one…not so much. It literally got so stupid at the end that we quit playing and just started reading the booklets to figure out who did it.

Me and my friends play this once every two months and it is always a blast. A bit hard to get hold of but always worth it.
I highly suggest going through worldwide imports. Went with standard shipping on Tues, got it that friday. Great condition, can’t wait for game day
