How to Host a Murder Mystery Party for Kids (8 Steps)


Find a pre-conceived murder mystery game. These can be found online, where they can be downloaded and printed, or in stores. Download the game and print out the materials.
Review the materials carefully. As the party's host, you are the only person who will have all the facts--each child will be playing a different character in the story, so be prepared and remember which character knows what.
Prepare costumes for each character. These do not have to be elaborate---just a memorable accessory, like a hat, will suffice. Prepare name tags, as well, to help the children remember who is playing who.
Decorate the room with any props that may be indicated in the instructions or that you think are befitting of the characters. Play some moody, foreboding music.
Greet party guests with costumes, name tags and character information--each child starts out with a particular set of information about her character.
Introduce the mystery by announcing what has 'happened,' and telling the children they will be taking part in an investigation.
Distribute clue cards. The game is divided into rounds. In each round, you are to distribute clue cards that give the players more information and move the story along. When they have the new information, they are to mingle with each other and share what they know--or try to conceal it.
Celebrate when the game has ended and praise the children for solving the mystery.

How to Find My 'Minecraft' Server's IP Address


Log on to the server's host computer and press 'Windows-X' to launch the power user menu. If you're using a different computer to host the server than you will be to play, you need to perform these steps on the host computer. The IP address of the computer you'll be playing on won't be useful for this process.
Select 'Command Prompt' from the power user menu and enter the 'ipconfig' command when it loads. It may take a moment for your computer to load all the IP information, including the address you need.
Make a note of the 'IPv4 Address,' which is your computer's local IP address. This is the number you'll need to give out to the other players, as well as the IP address you'll need to connect to if you're going to play on a computer other than the host computer.
Start up your 'Minecraft' server software and bring the server online. Once the server is up and running, you need to get in contact with the other players and give them the IP address so that the game can begin.

How to Use Netplay With SNES9x


Open the SNES9x emulator.
Click on the 'Netplay' dropdown menu at the top of the screen.
If you want to host the game session, click 'Act As Server.' If you are the server, you should let the person that you are playing with know your IP address so that he can connect to your computer.
If someone else is hosting the session, click 'Connect To Server...'. This will bring up a small window where you can enter the IP address of the host. There will also be another box where you can enter a port number, but the default port number that is already there should work for you.
After you are connected, you or the person you are playing with can start an old-school game of your choosing.
