You could play Murder in the Dark. Make enough slips of paper for each guest. On one write "murderer", on another write "detective", and on all of the rest write "suspect".
Everyone draws out of a hat without revealing what they drew. Except the detective who leaves the room.

Turn off the lights and the game begins.

The murderer finds people and taps them on the shoulder. If you are tapped on the shoulder and are a suspect, simply fall to the ground, making a few dying noises. They should scream "Murderer, murderer" when they are killed and they detective comes back in.

The detective then surveys the "body or bodies". They can ask the suspects questions about where they were (works better outside or in large space)only the murderer can lie. The detective then accuses who they think is the murderer. If they guess wrong, the murderer has won, but if they guess right, the detective has won.
