Last Will & Testament of Roland Kingsley

The Last Will & Testament of Roland Kingsley is a one of a kind experience your guests will be talking about for years to come!  Unlike our other mystery games, this one does not have a victim in the cast of players - the victim is disclosed upfront (Roland Kingsley).  This in-person (face-to-face) game is for ages 16 and up for difficulty, and has 8-18 players. This game is not for novices - only choose this game if you're in for a challenge and serious sleuthing!   Two 6 character expansion packs are available, so you can play with up to 50 players (see the breakdown below).   This is the instant download upon purchase. You'll have everything you need to play the game at click of a button once you purchase the game. No need to wait, no shipping fees.  For the boxed kit, see below under 'Helpful Links.' 

Each player has a character webpage that includes a detailed background and costume suggestions with links. The players can read about their character, as well as study up on others that will be at the party, if they desire.  There are two required videos to play during the game, and an optional one to play during the game, and one that's available on the YourMysteryParty.com pregame guest site.  Everything should be considered evidence, so your guests can start sleuthing before the party ever begins!   No way to play videos for the guests? No worries, we'll give you backup script/transcript files for the required videos.  However, the videos are able to be downloaded prior to the game - so no WiFi is needed to host the game. 

With this game, you will have multiple items to download: host instructions, printable file, solution file, back-up transcripts, it's optional to download the required videos (as you can stream from YouTube or Vimeo), and a free invitation. 

Game release date: August, 2017, updated August 2021.

Murder Mystery Synopsis

Roland Kingsley is an American businessman, investor, and philanthropist. Famous for creating the number one social media application known as Yipper, Roland has notoriously created foes during his ladder climb to the top. (Check out Roland's recent expose on RBC News.) Roland was recently listed on the Fordes Magazine list of the richest people in the world with his estate being worth billions.

The world was shocked to hear of his untimely demise last Tuesday. The coroner has declared the death a suicide, but many have demanded further investigation. You received a letter from the family lawyer to attend the reading of the Last Will and Testament in the Kingsley Mansion on the outskirts of Godley Hollow.  This is where your story begins. 

  Hosting the game for up to 50 players: 

• 18 players from the main game. 
• 6 players from expansion pack #1 (purchased separately, and expansion packs must be played in order)
• 6 players from expansion pack #2 (purchased separately)
• *Up to 20 members of the Kingsley Mansion Staff

*These are duplicate players, and not suspects, but they have the same materials as the rest of the players.
