Murder Mystery Synopsis:
The Devonshire Manor is an 18th century mansion on the outskirts of the town of Pinehorn. It was once owned by the wealthy Devonshire family and is a legendary estate to the citizens of Pinehorn. In their day, the Devonshires were beloved, treated as royalty, as they owned more than half of the businesses in town. The Devonshire Manor has exquisite architectural features, albeit weathered throughout the years. Weeds and high grass have long since replaced the flowering shrubs and ornamental trees that adorned the property in its day. The remaining Devonshire lineage passed away in the early 1900’s, leaving their estate in the hands of the town of Pinehorn.
The townspeople have neglected to keep up with the place, mostly due to the legend that the Devonshires still roam the corridors at night. The mayor of Pinehorn has made it her quest to remodel and reinstate the Devonshire Manor as a historical bed and breakfast. She believes that the old estate can generate tourism and an income for the town of Pinehorn. Most of the townspeople stand behind her, although a few people are adamantly against her pursuit – stating that the place is haunted and should be left alone.
The mayor cleaned up the dusty cobwebs and is hosting a fundraiser bash for the townspeople of Pinehorn. She hopes to raise enough funds for her remodeling endeavors. You have been invited to attend the event and this is where your story begins.

Perfect for Devonshire Cooperative
Our university Cooperative house used this kit as a fundraiser and everyone had a fantastic time! The characters were amusing and the game kept everyone on their toes! Our house is actually called Devonshire, so this kit was perfect!

Great fun!
This is the Second Mystery Party we have ordered from here. First one was great. We have not done this last purchase yet. We are gathering a lot of props for this one. They make for a great party. You can put as little work into it with what they provide or as much work as you choose. They are great fun either way. Our goal for this Mystery Party , we want to have a lot of surprises lurking around each corner.

Great time had by all
We had 7 of us all required and it was a blast. We had some drinks while reviewing everyone's roles. We played for about 3 hours and it was a loads of fun. Everyone wants to do it again. Since it was our first time, I was a little worried that it would be difficult but it went super smooth and was lots of fun.

Lots of fun for our 8th grade team party!
I used the basic package for my 8th grade Destination Imagination year end party. The kids loved it. I was rushed so I did minimal prep-about 1 hour for preparing and distributing character packs and 1 hour for setup. I would definitely do this again and this time I'd do a lot more early work to generate excitement and involvement.

Love this game!
I hosted this party for a group of 20-30 year olds and it was so fun! Instructions are easy to follow, and the guests totally got into the game - I was so surprised.

Devonshire Manor
I downloaded this murder for my daughter's 14th birthday. We had 7 girls at the party and it turned out to be a blast! I picked this one because the costumes were simple and doable! Everyone came dressed up and I was surprised how well they stayed in character! I would definitely recommend and will probably host another one for my other children too!!!
