Games

Class of '57 Box or Class of '57 Digital

It is time for the All Saints College Class of '57 Reunion. For one night, we will return to the good old days when Elvis was at the top of the charts. Sock hops, hula-hoops, and poodles were radioactive. Getting pinned meant something altogether different than it does these days. This is a squeaky-clean game.

  • Mystery Soup - Add a little mystery to your next dinner party with our Mystery Soup recipe.

  • Killer Cheese Dip (HOT) - A hot spicy party cheese dip recipe that has been known to make women faint, strong men cry, and small children run for their mommies.

- You Shall Not Pass - We have created a printout for you to hang in areas that you would like your guests to stay clear of!

HERE ARE ITEMS YOU WILL NEED IF YOU BUY A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD GAME TO PRINT YOURSELF. 

These items are the best priced AND quality I've found on Amazon. Prime is free shipping. These items may also be available at your local office supply, but they will likely cost more.

  • Booklet Stapler - Bostitch Anti-Jam Long Reach Stapler, 20 Sheet Capacity, Adjustable, Durable, Black. This is our backup stapler if our booklet machine goes down. It was around $20. You can get a little cheaper but check the reviews first. Bostitch staplers are some of the best you can get and are very reliable. Your local office supply may or may not carry these.

  • Staples - Don't forget these. You can get these for under $3 or go to your local office supply store. 

  • 2x4 Labels for name tags and organizing labels. This package has 100 sheets for around $13. Check the 10% off the box!

  • Blank Business Cards - If you have an extra character packet or our Immortal Murders game, you will need to print business or spell cards on blank business card stock.

  • Parchment Paper - For Certificates, you will need blank parchment paper. We include the certificate design, so you don't need actual certificate paper. You can choose your own color and price from the selection.

  • Paper - Lastly, you need printer paper. I love this eco paper. It's clean, bright, and affordable. Paper has gotten so expensive! You get 3 reams for under $20.
