How to Set Up & Run the Party
Hosting the extended Tumbleweed Trailer Park: Birthday Blowout murder mystery is easier than wranglin’ a karaoke mic from Lexi Loudon—and twice as entertaining. Here’s how to throw a night of laughs, lies, and lawn-chair-level chaos without losin’ your cool.
Step 1: Print Your Party Materials
Once you download your files, you’ll have everything you need—character briefs, host instructions, printable name tags, signage, accusation cards, and the complete two-stage gameplay setup. Print what you need for your group size and grab some extra tape for your Suspect Board.
Step 2: Assign Characters
Choose from 36 total characters: 20 mandatory, 6 optional, and 10 add-on roles for big groups. Every guest gets a funny, easy-to-play character with a backstory, gossip, and simple dress/acting ideas. Assign roles ahead of time—or surprise guests at the door for extra drama!
Tip: If it’s someone’s birthday, make them Rory Wrangler—the rhinestone royalty of Tumbleweed Trailer Park.
Step 3: Stage One – Stir the Pot
Kick things off with mingling and mayhem! Guests will complete fun conversation-based objectives to spread gossip, test trust, and drop hilarious one-liners. The park’s full of secrets—but tonight, everyone’s got somethin’ to say.
Step 4: Lights-Out Twist
Halfway through the party, the host gives the signal to “cut the lights.” When they flick back on—well, let’s just say someone’s had their last moment. This twist launches the investigation phase and keeps everyone on edge.
Step 5: Stage Two – Solve the Mystery
After the “shock,” guests get new mingle objectives and juicy back-pocket secrets to uncover the truth. The ghost of the victim returns for dramatic interjections while the rest of the park debates who’s to blame. Expect finger-pointing, wild alibis, and laughs louder than a doublewide karaoke speaker.
Step 6: Accuse & Reveal
Once everyone’s ready, they fill out Accusation Cards and post them on the Suspect Board. The host then reads the official solution aloud, revealing the killer’s motive and the trail of trailer-park clues that led there. Bonus points for dramatic gasps and mock fainting.
No acting skills required. No props. No stress—just print, play, and party.
Whether you host in a kitchen, backyard, or under a flickering neon sign, this printable murder mystery guarantees big laughs, bold characters, and memories stickier than spilled box wine on a vinyl floor.
