Mystery Dinner Party

Fun and crazy birthday idea for kids, tweens and teens!  The guests are served dinner - but don't know what they have ordered until the food arrives. Guests order off of a crazy menu that doesn't tell them exactly what they will be served.   There are 3 rounds and finally most of the guests will figure out what to order to get the type of food they want to eat.    We've included a sample menu to get you started!

Don't give guests any clues to what the menu items mean.  The fun is to see them slowly (usually after the second round) figure out what to order by laughing and asking what everyone else ordered. 

Keep the food hidden in the kitchen so they can't see it before or during the dinner.  

Be creative - this idea works with any menu (taco's, hamburgers & fries, hotdogs) and with any number of food items. 

Tips:  Write the guests names on their menus so they can order from the same menu 3 times.  Grab some helpers (older or younger children) to help deliver the food and turn in orders.
