What's the whole idea?
Prove your innocence by interrogating your fellow suspects until the murderer is exposed.
A successful murder mystery requires players to arrive prepared to be in character. We have meticulously planned the logistics and events of the night but we have also left plenty of room for ad-lib!
You don't have to be an accomplished actor to be successful and have fun tonight.
As an introvert myself, I promise you can be as involved as you want. The more the better, of course, but introverts can easily play and have fun with this scenario.
We have a unique murder mystery scenario, but it would be best if you don't do any research on your own beforehand. All of the steps and information will be provided for you. Just arrive and have fun!
As you gather for dinner on Sunday evening, the shocking news is brought to you by the Scotland Yard detective, Austin McClue: Lord Michael is dead. Maybe even murdered.
And if he was murdered, one - or more - of you was responsible. Your task is to identify the murderer. Or, of course, to evade detection.
We'll have prizes for:
1. Best Costume
2. Best Detective
3. Best Actor
4. Best Murderer
During a murder investigation, a detective must answer three questions:
Who had a reason to kill the victim? Does any particular person benefit - financially or romantically - from the victim's death?
Who had access to the murder weapon? Does any particular person have the unique knowledge, skill or physical ability necessary to use the murder weapon?
Who had a chance to kill the victim? Is any particular person unaccounted for (has no alibi) during the time the victim was killed?
Your challenge is to use the three elements to form a hypothesis about the murder, which will result in an accusation. Keep these questions in mind as you pursue your investigation. Good luck!
