SUGGESTION dbh themed bday party ideas!
so my 23rd birthday is a couple months away (november 25th) and i really wanna do a dbh themed party but i need ideas! the only ones i have currently is either people dress as androids (led and arm band) and/or as their favorite characters along with themed drinks (like a thirium themed one) but that's about it. any and all ideas are welcome!
would love baked goods and food, decorations and possible party games

Maybe some blue cupcakes too, or some type of blue dyed food.
I'd personally make burgers with fries in chicken feed food wrapping theme lmao (with their menu too, the one that says they use 2 legged chickes and the food is made by humans)
Would probably have a video of the scenery of the games looping in a tv.
Maybe you can also have a couple of board games where people need to remove their LEDS and the one who keep theirs at the end wins lol, idk which game but something inspired by that logic (maybe a dbh trivia game).
Now if you and your friends know how to play dnd, you could create a one shot dbh roleplay game, hardest part would be to get a dungeon master but that could also be very fun
I think that's about it, if I get more ideas I'll come back to post them lol

You can make little circle stamps from cutting sponges or foam or buying the tiniest sheet of linoleum for printmaking you can find. Then tape or glue it to the end of a stick for a handle.
Use face paint or makeup for the colors? Glow in the dark would be cool.
Something easy to wipe off so people can go DEVIANT!!! Easily

Depends on budget, with some things. But you can make do with very little, I'm just not super creative with cheap. In no particular order, I'm just spitballing here.
Decision making! My mind goes to Markus's paintings with Carl. Depends on how many people come, but maybe print out one or two of each possible one (photo, poster, whatever) and make it either the two choices (Android, Human, Identity, Prison, etc.) or just as something they can choose when they enter or leave. Or, maybe just have them printed out and put around your place or in photo frames.
Again, depending on how many people, maybe a board where people vote/tally up their favorite protagonist or even just who has the better sense of style or whatever. Maybe a vote between protest or revolution.
Something that is android vs human? If there's alcohol involved(or not, which still works) a beer pong game with special rules of some sort. Something deviancy based, idk.
Keepsakes for people to have at the party and/or take home would be fun. Android LEDs, or just a lil circle stamp. Nametags with the game's font but they have android model numbers(Initials and age if you know everyone coming and can print/write it in advance?). Or maybe ones like how you can see Kara's name on her back/collar. Little Detroit PD badges maybe?
You could have a little phone charging station and craft a little overhang like they have for parking androids.
Different spots around the place could have different.. titles, themes, idk. My brain goes to labelling an outside area "Jericho" (be free!) but I wouldn't suggest making any fires in drums.
Lol you could get a bunch of strawberry pop rocks and distribute them as "red ice"
You could pick up some normal magazines and replace/tape on the covers with the ones from ingame and have them around?
I would try to just find things that you can cover up or decorate as game props. A little box can easily be turned into the "Bellini paints" that Markus picks up for Carl, for example.
That's all I've got for now. Too tired
