Enjoying a little murder at dinner
Article Abstract:
Murder mystery games have become a very popular social pastime in the UK. It is vital to choose a game which is carefully planned, ensuring that it has a strong plot and that the participants are given adequate guidance about their role. The host must undertake the necessary preparations in advance, such as sending out invitations which detail each guest's role, and must also create the right atmosphere. The best murder mystery games are those in the 'A La Carte' range, which even go as far as making provision for difficulties which could arise.

The amazing maze of maize
Article Abstract:
Mazes have existed from ancient times, and still hold great fascination in modern society. Early mazes and labyrinths held symbolic and ritualistic significance, rather than being puzzles. The maze was adopted and adapted by the Church, being used to decorate cathedral interiors and symbolize pilgrimage and the journey to salvation. In today's society, mazes retain their fascination partly because their timeless symbolism is still significant.
