Hyde Studios is probably best known for its cliché-crammed science fiction and horror B-movies. They may have flopped at every box office release but have surged in popularity since thanks to their cult status as being the cheesiest movies around.
With a new science fiction double feature in the early stages of production, the last thing anyone expected was for the studio owner and director, Jacqueline Hyde, to vanish mysteriously one evening, leaving no traces apart from a pool of blood, an upturned sign and a slight burning smell.
What happened to Jacqueline Hyde? Where is her body? Who is responsible? And will the new B-movie, ’Little Rock Horror Shop’, ever be made?

How do these games kits work?
These games require 7-13 cast and involve the rest of the audience by getting them to ask pre-set questions – which are provided to them on paper by the inspector at the start of each round.
They run in a similar way to a dinner party, so are an ideal first choice for novice hosts and acing teams with little or no experience running large scale events.
These games work best as a sit down event with 6-12 tables of guests, with a suspect on each table.
As a rough guide these mysteries take approximately 2-3 hours to complete with a three course meal.
During the game the audience will listen to five short sets of dialogue from the cast and pose pre-scripted questions (which the cast answer with pre-scripted answers). There are three rounds which can be evenly spread throughout the night or, if preferred, the question and answer rounds can be bunched together into one large round.
At the end of the final round the guests are given time to decide who is the murderer, and once the guests have decided who did it, how and why (i.e. the murderer and motive) they will complete the answer sheet and hand it in.
How these games usually run.
Introductory Round: Introductions by the cast and the facilitator “inspector character”.
Rounds 1, 2 and 3: Scripted dialogue from the cast, followed by pre-set questions and answers.
Concluding Statements and solution: conclusions by the cast and denouement from the inspector.
There is one “inspector character” who acts as a facilitator during the event and is essential to the cast.
Reducing the cast size will reduce the length of time required to solve the mystery.
Introducing the suspects
The inspector can be played by a male or female person but is essential to make the game format work. We suggest you cast your primary “Organizer” in this role. Or have the most organised as a supporting role to the inspector to keep the game moving along and hand out information at the right time.
Inspector Worp – The policeman responsible for solving the crime
Efficient in their own peculiar way, has an unusual method of solving crimes – they involve everyone!
The Suspects:
Frankie Furtive – Outrageous non-binary scientist.
Sweet and sexual, from an as yet unexplored planet, Frankie has rather unusual attire for a laboratory worker – stockings and a corset!
Madge Entatona – Maid.
Rather unorthodox, Madge is not what you might expect from your average suburban cleaner.
Venus Flytrapp – Walking, talking plant.
Dressed entirely in green, Venus has very red lips and a larger-than-life personality.
Seymour Plants – Flower shop assistant.
With thick-rimmed glasses and a V-neck sweater/vest, Seymour is not exactly a girl magnet. That’s what probably makes him an ideal employee!
Niff-Naff – Handyman.
Bald and creepy, Niff-Naff has a habit of lurking in dark corners.
Audrey Skidrow – Co-worker of Seymour Plants.
Shy, friendly and awkward, Audrey is a lisping, conservatively dressed blonde bombshell.

Chad Minors – Young American man and budding actor.
Chad is rather self-conscious and keen to defend his fiancée from predatory advances, despite his very staid taste in clothing.
Nanette Silly – Young American woman.
Easily led and somewhat naïve, Nanette is out of her depth and prone to screaming.

Cally Umbia – Entertainer.

Phil Cavities – Sadistic dentist.
In a white coat and with various dental implements to hand, Phil is struggling with laughing gas addiction, but that doesn’t seem to stop him working.

Rocky Sixpack – A perfect man.
In just gold lame pants, very little is left to the imagination. Rocky is the blonde, blue-eyed boy of your dreams!

Customise this game
This game can be customised to fit your event for an additional fee.
It’s hard to give “ball park” figures for what different customisations would cost however we’ve attempted to HERE.
Please do contact us for a free quote if you would like any customisations on your game before purchase.
Remember… if you just need 1 extra person, or 1 less person, why not have someone play the inspector role?
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.
