Mystery Synopsis:
Nevertheless, Ridley Barnabet recently inherited the family fortune and wishes to catapult the manor to become a local hot-spot and travel destination. Ridley has sent out exclusive invitations for a VIP bash. The town gossips are on fire with rumors of what will happen on this night when the who’s who of the town will be gathered together.
On another note, there is a buzz that the mysterious society, The Clear, might be involved with the event. The Clear is a top-secret social order that nobody knows for sure exists, but everyone chats about and spreads tales about how they control the world and all of its headlines. Could The Clear be behind this event? Only time will tell - or would time even spill the secret?
You’ve received an invitation to the gathering at the manor. This is where your story begins.

Entertaining Evening!
We hosted this party on Saturday night. Our guests had a blast and already have asked if we would host another murder mystery party. I will say that the setup is time-consuming so consider the boxed set.
