Murder Mystery Synopsis: 

Shade Hallow Manor, a 17th-century mansion in the foggy town of Dark Cloud, was built in 1670 by the renowned author Shade Hallow. Once grand and beloved, the estate has fallen into disrepair since the last of the Hallow lineage passed away in the early 1700s. Neglected by the townspeople due to rumors of Shade Hallow's ghost haunting its halls, the manor is now overrun with weeds and decay.

Despite the ghostly legend, most townsfolk want to restore the manor as a historic bed and breakfast, hoping it will boost tourism and income for Dark Cloud. While many are excited, some believe the haunted estate should be left alone.

Now, with the cobwebs mostly cleared, a Halloween bash is underway at Shade Hallow Manor. You, a resident of Dark Cloud, are torn about the restoration but have been invited to the event. This is where your story begins.

    Totally fun, will do it again!

    Posted by Melissa A on Oct 27th 2019

    I made sure everyone committed, and then paid extra to everything printed and sealed. I’m glad I did, it was totally worth it! We setup The night before, I made a booking police station photo op, that we used when people came in. Add some candles, webs, covered the furniture in white sheets, and made punch that I put into novelty blood bags, and added black lights. Saturday, 6pm, Everyone got a name tag and took a pic. After everyone settled, we started round one, and people got into character. It was funny. We had drinks and apps. We broke for dinner, at about 7:30. We pre ordered pizzas. At 8pm we started round two, the motive and who was going to be the victim became pretty clear. That part was funny because we all looked at her and said you got any last words? And she flipped us off and went to become the victim. 8:20pm The timeline (where everyone was during the murder) part was harder, that’s where I would take half a star, but we ended up doing that as a group. We each took turns reading off where we were, then the detective read the forensic report, and we wrote our guesses down. I collected the cards. Everyone shared who they thought the killer was. Then round 3 cards went out and they read them in order. The last to read is the killer. Over by 9:30-10pm Everyone wants to do it again!

    Our guests enjoyed the evening. The mystery was great, my guests got into their roles and had a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this. We are doing Hatter's Ball this year.
