**Please note that we can not ensure an even gender ratio for this event. There will likely be more women than men in attendance.
Our interactive murder mystery nights are a fun and different way to socializes on a Sunday evening! For each of these adventures everyone at the party plays a role and everyone is a suspect! When you arrive our staff will be on hand to welcome you and explain your character. No experience is necessary. It is designed to be fun (not super hard). During the night our host will narrate the chain of events that lead to the murder then it is up to you to solve the case!
Everyone predicted a bad reunion. Few expected murder...
Background
Your guests are going to be playing the roles of the largely dysfunctional members of the Stout family, who have gathered at their ancestral home for a family reunion, hosted by the elderly Malachai Stout. None of the Stouts have ever gotten along particularly well with each other, but the promise of a substantial inheritance has encouraged them to at least put on their friendly faces and attend Malachai Stout's occasional gatherings.
Murder!
Now, however, something awful has happened. This morning, when you came downstairs for breakfast, the door to Malachai's bedroom was ajar, and Malachai's lifeless body was crumpled upon the bed, his contorted purple features a mute testament to the fact that he had been smothered in his sleep. Further, the wall safe in Malachai's study has been opened, and the precious Stout family jewels are missing!
Solving the Mystery
The obvious course of action would be to phone the police or travel to the nearest town, but last night's storm has knocked out the phone lines, and the tremendous rain has washed out the mountain road to town. It appears that it will be up to the guests to solve the mystery of Malachai Stout's murder!
