How Our Large Group Mystery Games Work: Our
games are designed for parties with 20 or more guests. You'll need to select
people willing to take part in the mystery as the primary suspects (including
victim(s), detective and killer). They'll have
full knowledge of the script, which means they'll know whodunit*. The
rest of your guests will take on the role of detective and it will be their
job to actively solve the case (by examining the evidence and questioning,
eavesdropping on and following the suspects for example). Essentially,
everyone will have a crucial part in the mystery.
*PLEASE NOTE: If
you don't want your prime suspects to know whodunit you can add a narrator
to your game. Have the narrator read the script as if telling a story.
Your suspects will need to act out what he or she says. You'll give them
their characters descriptions ahead of time but not the script itself. We're
slowly adapting all our mystery games to include a "know it all
version" and a "narrator version" but we're not there
yet. If we have adapted a game you'll see it noted in the description.

number of players, length of mystery and pre-event prep time) and

THE STORY AND THE CHARACTERS:
PLEASE NOTE: This
mystery game also contains a short scavenger hunt for clues.
THE YEAR: Any. We’ve set it in modern
day.
PLACE: Gotham City
EVENT: The “Lottery” Drawing and Grand Celebration.
Eccentric, reclusive millionaire Sam Disney is alone in this world with his
millions. So, he’s come up with a plan, a way to leave his money to someone.
He draws Gotham City from what he calls his lottery to bequeath his money to.
All townsfolk will receive a financial gift and one lucky person will receive
a briefcase containing $1,000,532.00. Great idea until things go very, very
wrong!
SIX PRIMARY SUSPECTS:
- Sam Disney:The mysterious, eccentric millionaire (WE NEVER
MEET HIM; YOU DO NOT NEED AN ACTOR TO PLAY THIS ROLE.)
- Flora Fauna: A homeless woman who do anything to get off the streets of Gotham City.
- Horace Tabbeyville:Gotham
City’s
mayor, in for the reelection fight of his life.
- Cain Able: The cash-strapped
Hollywood producer who’s on the brink of becoming a Has-been in Tinseltown.
- Mamie-Eve Dempsey:A
publisher and a psychic. How’s that for a unique combination? Oh wait, she was recently fired from her publishing job so now she’s
just an unemployed psychic.
- Rebel McGreggor: Mamie-Eve’s new boyfriend. Dare we say he’s a “Rebel With A Cause” (the
cause being Mamie-Eve)?
- Detective Mattie Jiggs:She’ll
only be called in if something evil and dangerous happens.
SECONDARY SUSPECTS (optional). EVERYONE will
be actively involved in this mystery
because it will be their job to solve the case and because you’ll be encouraging them to
come in costume and in character. Use any or all of these secondary suspects
if you have "extra" cast members you want to use or if you have some
guests who want to take on a character but not take on the full responsibility
of a primary suspect. You will NOT give them a script but you will give them
a description of their character and let them run with it. FOR LARGE
GROUP MYSTERIES
(75 OR MORE): I’d definitely suggest you cast your secondary suspects
and give them a script - just like you’ll do with your primary suspects. During
the mystery
it will be the secondary suspects’ "job" to act as general support
for the primary suspects. They’ll roam the room "gossiping" about
the goings-in, quiet the audience down during a main action, answer questions,
bring primary suspects to tables for questioning and make sure your guests
have seen the physical clues that have been revealed.
- Georgie Gurl: Mamie’s
psychic assistant: Truth be told, she may be even more powerful than Mamie,
even as the novice that she is. Mamie knows this and will never let her show
her true power in public.
- Frances Noodle: Cain’s
personal assistant who is treated with no more respect than that of a slug.
- Reporter Red Gablian: He’s covering this story in the hopes that it’ll catch the attention of some major newspaper and get him out of this forsaken town he’s
forced to call home.
- Josh Lyman: The Mayor’s
press secretary. Josh has big aspirations, namely he wants to be press secretary
for the president of the US. The story could get him noticed if he can make
the Mayor behave like a mayor and not the moron Josh believes him to be.
- Hattie: Flora’s friend from the streets. She considers Flora her best friend. She is certain they know everything there is to know about each other and they always watch each other’s backs on the streets. She doesn’t know how she’d
survive without Flora.
- Biff Stufflebeam: He’s running for mayor against Horace. He’s charming in a smarmy way, he has lots of money and he’s
determined to win.
