3 Most Important Things to Watch for During a Murder Mystery

The three most important things to watch for during a murder mystery.

Do you have trouble solving the murder? Have you ever wondered why some people are able to solve the murder so effortlessly? Here are three activities that will take your crime solving ability to the next level.

#1: Keep an eye on the props the actors use.

Props play a crucial role in helping the murderer commit his (or her) dirty deed. You need to pay attention to how the characters interact with the props they use. Watch for who comes into contact with items that might be used for the murder. Keep in mind who had access to the weapons and who touched them last.

#2: Pay attention to who is on stage when critical information is presented.

The characters will not have knowledge of everything that goes on during the show. If they are not on stage when certain events happen or when important information is given there is a good chance they will not be able to shed more light on that incident during the questioning period. The characters will also be influenced by the events they are witnesses to. The way they react can give you clues into what they might be thinking.

#3: Keep tabs on the relationships between the characters.

Throughout the show the relationships between the characters will change and develop. Be cognizant of this. Pay attention to who likes who. Who are enemies? What are the underlying reasons for their enmity? Who would benefit if suddenly one of the others were gone. The characters in our shows develop and change during the course of the evening which causes their relationships to change as well.

If you keep in mind these things as you watch the show and interact with the actors, then it will be easier for you to put the pieces of the mystery together and solve the crime.
