Real life Cluedo with a sexy twist

Forget about stressful family gatherings and long, boring dinners; let me show you how to survive the (Christmas-) holidays in sexy style!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a typical family person. I love spending hours wrapping gifts and cooking the most elaborate meals for my loved ones. But even I sometimes need a break from all that. I just feel like shaking things up a bit! So this year, during the holiday season, I’m organizing my own Murder mystery night with a twist: real life Cluedo. It’s retro, it’s fun, and, – if you do it right – very sexy!

Cluedo is a board game, hugely popular during the seventies, where players try to figure out the three main facts of a murder: the location of the murder, the murder weapon and the murderer himself. Or herself, of course!

I’ve been planning a real life version of it, using my own house as the location, and a selection of sexy singles as the players. I’m so excited!

There are several sites where you can find the exact rules, but basically, seven adults play seven characters: Miss Scarlet, Col. Mustard, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Prof. Plum, Mrs. Whyte and Wadsworth the butler. Any extra people can be game masters, in the roles of butlers or -oh la la! – French maids.

You can invite 6 friends to play these parts, but I decided to shake things up by inviting only people – singles! – I’ve never met before in real life. For example: people I’ve had a click with on Facebook, or a friend of a friend who came highly recommended.

To make things even more exciting, I designed swanky invitations, in which I insisted everybody come dressed in a sexy stylish interpretation of their part. Now all I need to do is create lots of dark cozy corners in my house, and I’m ready for a night of ‘killer’ romance… Happy, sexy holidays!

In January, I presented my newest FW20 collection during a show full of dance and entertainment in Rotterdam. All my work as a feminist designer is inspired by muses, powerful female icons from past and present. And for FW20, my muse will be crime writer Agatha Christie. A few months from now, you will get to discover the collections, and see how they tell stories like Agatha’s thrilling books do..

Dr. Bram Bakker is a psychiatrist, a writer, a runner and a provocateur. With his many bestselling books and columns – and yes, even his own theatre show – he urges us to think outside the box when it comes to our mental health. Not crazy about popping pills? Bram shared some interesting alternatives with me, from throwing out our phones to running ‘till we puke’.
