deanna_g said:OK, I think it would go something like this:
Staging: I'd have a couple open umbrellas laying around the room where the host is having everyone gather...and to get into the room, you must walk under a ladder. :-D
Greeting- I'd greet everyone at the door or ladder (ideally, I'd have the ladder by the door) and if the host is expecting more than 12 guests, I'd make a big deal out of the 13th guest who came in and tell them that they get to choose out of the door prize bag.
I would hand out envelopes to each guest after the show starts. I'd tell them to look in their envelopes and see which product is inside. I'd then say something like, "Tonight...there was a murder. These are the suspected murder weapons. Our job tonight is to figure out which item it was. I'll be giving clues throughout the night so that we can figure out which item was used. Go ahead and show each other your items and discuss their functions so that you're familiar with them."
After they got to know the products (perhaps even get their hands on the products) I would give the first clue. Eventually giving enough clues for them to figure out which item was used as the murder weapon. whoever had the envelope with the murder weapon in it would be the winner and gets a door prize.
I would also then say, "Since this item was used in a murder, anyone who purchases this item tonight will receive FREE shipping on their order!"

I think the envelope idea is great! My first thought for the victim could be "Mister Fast Food" or something along those lines....
We need to keep brainstorming this so we can come up with a clear outline - this should be fun!

Friday the 13th is considered to be an unlucky day by many people. This superstition originated from various historical and cultural beliefs, such as the belief that the number 13 is unlucky and that Fridays are an unlucky day for certain activities.
Some common symbols and themes associated with Friday the 13th include black cats, broken mirrors, ladders, and the number 13. Other popular elements include masks, chainsaws, and the iconic hockey mask worn by the character Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th horror film franchise.
There are many ways to incorporate the Friday the 13th theme into your show. Some ideas include using spooky lighting and sound effects, incorporating themed props and costumes, and playing games or challenges related to the superstitions and folklore surrounding this date.
There is no scientific evidence to support the superstitions surrounding Friday the 13th. These beliefs are often based on historical events and cultural traditions, rather than scientific facts. However, some studies have shown that people who believe in superstitions may have a higher level of anxiety or a tendency to associate unrelated events as causally connected.
Some ideas for fun and interactive activities include a scavenger hunt with clues related to the Friday the 13th theme, a "haunted" maze or house, a costume contest, and a trivia game about superstitions and their origins. You could also incorporate elements of popular horror films or literature into your show, such as a reading of a spooky story or a live performance of a scene from a horror movie.
