Last Will of Hunter Bentley Party Pack

This is a challenging, interactive murder mystery game for up to 16 gender flexible players, ages 15 and up for difficulty (not for novices). The game is for experienced players, ready to solve a challenging case. The players can start investigating before the party by viewing the pre-game sites.

The number of required players is optimal at a minimum of 10, but you can reduce that to only 6, if needed - email us with your order number to request the optional, electronic host character list if you intend on hosting with less than 10 players or if there is a chance you could drop below 10 players. 

• Kit sizes: the game is flexible and you can make all 16 players required with kit sizes to cover 300+ players (see kit sizes above in the dropdown box).

• Victim Player: unlike our other mystery games, this one does not have a victim in the cast of players - the victim is disclosed upfront (Hunter Bentley).

• Seamless: this game will cover the optional players seamlessly, so they will never know they were optional to the game. 

• Game version: this is the boxed version of the game and the downloadable version does not come with this, as it's not needed - you'll have everything you need to play the game with the prepared kit. For the downloadable version, see below under 'Helpful Links.' 

• Required video: there are two required videos to play during the game to stream or download before your game. There are backup script/transcript files for the required videos in the kit. 

• Free pre-game websites: players should consider everything evidence, so your guests can start sleuthing at home, immediately. Your players have a website for sleuthing for more clues (www.hemloxx.com), and our free pregame website at Your Mystery Party (www.yourmysteryparty.com/bentley) includes expanded character bios, the game trailer video, personal costume suggestions for each character role, and more. The website links for Your Mystery Party will change via each kit size to add more characters to the list. In addition, the players can read about their character, as well as study up on others that will be at the party, if they desire.

Mystery Synopsis:  

Two days ago, Hunter Bentley's body was discovered face down in the front courtyard of his estate. Given the chaotic scene, the coroner's first impression was that a series of unfortunate accidents had caused Hunter's death. Since the dearly departed was the CEO of Hemloxx, Incorporated, thousands of livelihoods were on the line. Within the hour, Hunter's sibling became his replacement. Unfortunately, many relatives have now flocked to the sprawling mansion, staking unfounded claims on his possessions. Unsurprisingly, those squatting inside the property within the affluent neighborhood of Rumson Waterloo Estates have started feuding.

This morning, Hunter Bentley's death was declared a homicide, sending worldwide shockwaves. Hunter's attorney must make short-term decisions for his possessions, obligations, estate management, and anything else that needs attention before the probate attorneys settle the estate. All family members received a notice of a mandatory meeting at Hunter's estate. The local news anchor requested that anyone who believes they might be mentioned in Hunter's last will attend this meeting.

You found that to be peculiar, but you think there is a chance the Last Will could include you. You plan to attend. This is where your story begins.
