Decorating your crime scene party can be a lot of fun with crime scene tape and chalk outlines on the floor. Use real and different people to draw the outlines so that they are realistic. You can leave false footprints, fingerprints, and clue cards all through the room (not too well hidden unless you want people snooping). You can even recruit plenty of assist when leaving the clues and decorating because of the novelty of this sort of party. You can incorporate many rooms and your garden as well, if you are feeling truly adventurous, have a different case going on in different rooms and have the children draw numbers for teams and race to solve the crime first. You might also do well to set up a lab, this area can be used by the teams to sort through their evidence and make notes for the conclusion of their investigation. Of course you will want to make the crimes simple and solvable by leaving clues that the kids will have no problem finding or deciphering without making it too easy. You can use actual episodes from your favourtie crime series to guide you or get ideas from. Young and old alike, the children will have a good time arguing over the clues and trying to reveal who really committed the crimes (and of course making up their assumptions and stories as to why the crimes occurred in the first place). For food you can have an actual CSI cake or go with cookies that are shaped like footprints or thumb print cookies for an excellent play on words. Of course by the time children are old enough to enjoy a party such as this they probably would be happy with good food rather than themed food and pizza, sloppy Joes, finger foods, chips and dips, and cookies and cake will make an excellent food addition to the party without needing to fit in with any one theme. Be sure to have plenty of pop and bottled water on hand though because crime solving is thirsty work. In real life it is best to leave the jobs of solving crimes up to the men and women who were trained to do so. In the world of birthday parties however, crime solving and crime scene investigating reign supreme as the next great thing in birthday party ideas.
