Easy Murder Mystery Party Ideas for Beginners: A Step-by-Step Guide to Hosting at Home Choosing...
My name is Mary Lee, and I am the writer and owner of Dinner and a Murder Mystery Games. A mom-and-no-pop home business I started 26 years ago after my youngest son was born.
I want to clarify how I use AI. When my son was born in 2000, I started this business. Before that, I worked at an ad agency as a graphic and web designer. Before that, I managed a graphic arts company, and I wrote my poems and short stories on the side.
I write all my games with NO AI. I paid a talented artist, Darryl Taylor, to create all my game covers. Since the pandemic, business has been slow, and I have no budget for marketing, so I choose to use AI to assist me in designing marketing and promotion to try to grow the business back. I do not just plug something into a chatbot and use whatever it spits out. I work in steps, ensuring my vision comes across
My avatar is actually me, created by photos of me with no alterations. The voice is not me, because I have a terrible voice. Ask anyone who has suffered through my karaoke songs on friends’ night out! I'm American, but I love a British accent, and since murder mystery games originated in the UK, I felt it more closely matched the aesthetic of my products. So please forgive my choice to use one in my AI productions. I will use my image/avatar throughout all my marketing materials.
I understand both sides of the AI debate. I am a writer/creator, so of course I understand. But I also understand its usefulness, especially for small businesses struggling to survive among all the large corporations with huge marketing budgets. I hope you understand my choice. I will still never use AI to write my games or create the artwork for the game covers.
