Mystery Synopsis: 

At the grand Dread Manor in Mayflower Falls, the family once again throws open its doors for their annual Thanksgiving feast. This year’s banquet promises to be unforgettable, with a spread catered by the famed Dread Steakhouse—every dish crafted to tempt and delight.

Before the feast begins, guests will mingle through the candlelit halls, trade juicy morsels of neighborhood gossip, and stir up laughter (and mischief) with outrageous party games.

But beneath the cheerful chatter, old wounds still fester. The past year has brought betrayal, scandal, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. Not every neighbor is on speaking terms, and harmony may prove to be the rarest dish of all.

Your invitation awaits. The story begins the moment you cross the threshold of Dread Manor.

If you wish to host this (or any other) game for profit, in public, &/or as a benefit to your business, organization or brand - you will need a commercial license - click here.

    Did this with my Literary Club which is made up of older ladies. They really got into character and loved performing. We had a lot of laughs!

    Unforgettable birthday celebration

    Posted by Bjorn on Dec 3rd 2022

    We turned a birthday celebration into a murder mystery and had a lot of fun. Only two out of eight participants had prior experience, but it worked very smoothly.

    Really perfect game for all ages that made our thanksgiving day a lot more fun. Everyone got involved, the optional clue round was extra great when the little kids found the clues all over the house. Highly recommend!

    This was a big hit with my family on Thanksgiving! They understood their character and played it hilariously, and some members kept talking about it after we played!
