Death comes to Downturn (all girl)

Characters in the 6 player game:

Countess Flora Rawley – Lady of the manor

Flora is cool, calm and very sophisticated. With her beaded headband and long velvet jacket, she just oozes sophistication.

Lady Martha Rawley – Daughter of the Earl of Grandham

Languid and beautiful, Lady Martha wears jet beads, long black gloves and an evening gown.

Lady Ethel Rawley – Daughter of the Earl

Extremely elegant in her empire-line dress, string of pearls and white silk gloves, Ethel’s dressed to impress but no one notices or cares.

Mrs Pratmore – Cook

With her rolling pin stuffed in her apron, a mob cap to hide her unruly hair and her finger bandaged and bloody, she’s the last person you’d want to cook your dinner!

Maisy – Cook’s assistant

Pale and pasty, like her pastry. With her sleeves rolled up and her pinny at the ready, Maisy’s usually moaning about something.

Miss O’Ryan – Former lady’s maid

Wearing a severe black dress, traveling bonnet and cape and with her hair in a bun, Miss O’Ryan looks to be a formidable lady.

Additional Characters in the 8 player game:

Lady Carnavit – Countess

In a pith helmet, khaki shorts, shirt and sand boots, Lady Carnavit has just returned from an archaeological expedition in Egypt.

Mrs Snooze – Housekeeper

In her long black skirt, blouse and jacket and with a bunch of keys around her waist, Mrs Snooze yawns her way through the corridors of Downturn.

Additional Characters in the 10 player game:

Virginia Woof – Writer

Wearing a floaty dress, beads and with a poetry book in her hand, Virginia is always looking for life’s similes and metaphors.

Joanna Carsteers – Yachtswoman

Tattooed, cheroot-chewing, trouser-wearing yachty who carries her doll, Lord Doddery Waddle, everywhere she goes.

Additional Characters in the 12 player game:

May Pickup – Silent movie star

With her fur stole, pearls and red lipstick, May epitomizes Hollywood glamour.

Lady Astra – The first female Member of Parliament

Wearing a long silk dress, a police helmet and carrying her whistle and truncheon, this American aristocrat fears vice lurks in every corner of society.

Additional Characters in the 14 player game:

Lady Petunia Unclear – Niece of the Earl of Grandham

Young, excitable and highly strung, Petunia wears a flapper dress, headband and beads. She’s what you’d call a bright young thing!

Agatha Custard – A crime novelist

With her understated style and lack of money, Agatha wears a simple sleeveless dress and pearls. She’s an amateur sleuth and not to be messed with.

Additional Characters in the 16 player game:

Lady Viola Rawley – Dowager Countess of Grandham

With her hair piled up in a bun, a high-necked dress, bustle and a brooch at her collar, Lady Viola’s a relic from the Edwardian era.

Dame Margo Flood-Gorge – Wife of the former Liberal prime minister

In a long floral print dress with a collar, Margo’s dress sense is rather plain. No jewels or fripperies for this Welsh harridan. She’s very serious and slightly boring.

Additional Characters in the 18 player game:

Mrs Emily Spankhurst – Suffragette

Wearing a “Votes for Women” sash over her evening gown and with a handbag full of pamphlets, Emily just can’t stop fighting for women’s rights.

Mrs Dee Brett – Genealogist and publisher of a book on the peerage.

With specs on the end of her nose, inky fingers and A Book of the Peerage in her hand, Dee dresses plainly in a striped blouse and a long dark skirt. She definitely hasn’t come to party!

Additional Characters in the 20 player game:

Hannah Fates – Lady’s maid

Solid and sensible, from her buttoned up boots to her high-necked collars, Hannah’s always got a smile and a spotless pinny.

Mrs Levitation – American mother of Lady Flora

Very down-to-earth, she can’t stand English snobbery. Wearing a fur collar and skullcap and with her hair bobbed, she’s quite the modern granny.

We can customise this game.  However, sadly we do have to charge for this service as even minor customisations take between 1-2 hours to process in the office and we need to buy toilet roll and biscuits as much as the next person…

It’s hard to give “ball park” figures for what different customisations would cost however we’ve attempted to HERE.

Remember… if you just need 1 extra person, or 1 less person, why not add in the inspector as your extra guest.  The inspector can usually be male or female as the “for real” inspector can simply invent a new name for themselves.

Some hosts prefer to play the inspector role as it means they can work on the catering while the round plays out amongst their guests.
