CSI Science Theme Birthday Party for Children

I receive a ton of requests for details from the CSI Party we did for Will in New Jersey on "Party Girl". On this episode we hosted a child's birthday where our "goody bags" were stolen and the kids had to solve the crime. Each child was sent to CSI training where they learned how to read clues which would later help solve the mystery.
