15 themes for a murder mystery party

I've just started thinking about throwing another murder mystery party, so here are themes that I think could be great.

Greek/Roman gods and goddesses. There are so many gods and they all have beef with each other, how does that not equal drama perfect for a murder mystery? Sadly, the person killed would likely have to be a favored mortal...
Zoo. A ton of donors have come for a big party, but someone is found dead! Who dunnit? Donor, staff, or animal?
Mine. What if a miner is found murdered deep in the mines? Only those down there could have done it, right?
Wedding. Weddings can bring out a lot of tensions and again you have that limited set of people who could have done it.
Fairy garden. The fae are known to be petty and vicious when they choose. Seems like the perfect recipe for murder.
Morgue. What if a new dead body ends up in the morgue? Who killed them? Was it a staff person, a grieving family member, or someone who was only pretending to be dead?
Spaceship. The most extreme form of cabin fever could take hold and lead to the murder of a crew member.
Museum. So many cool possibilities for a murder weapon and so many rooms to explore.
Magic show. Someone was made to disappear...permanently. Who is the culprit? The magician? The lovely assistant? The stagehands? An audience member? Who knows?
Carnival. You can't pass up an opportunity to have creepy clowns in a murder mystery.
Funeral. Someone else has been found dead. How will the grieving family deal? Were they even grieving in the first place?
Doll store. Dolls can be so creepy and the right one could even be a murder weapon. What if at an event at the store, someone is found dead?
Bookstore. A murder mystery author comes to their hometown to launch their new book but then someone is found dead at their book launch! Can they and their fans solve this real life mystery?
Dating reality show. Yes this will be a tad bit like Unreal, but with more solving the murder. Just adding in a bunch of singles trying to find love, fortune, and fame will make for a good, dramatic mystery.
Comic Con or some other con. It has all the perks of a masquerade theme, but with the added perk of having nerdy things around.

Which of these would you like to play?

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
