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 (Andy Field) 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.
Andy Field – The Detective responsible for solving the crime
Efficient in their own peculiar way, Andy Field has an unusual method of solving crimes – they involve everyone!
The Suspects:
Count Ing – Vampire.
With a starched white collar, black suit and pointy teeth, Count Ing is a somewhat flamboyant mathematical genius with a penchant for jelly and peanut butter sandwiches.
Cary Flesh – Skeleton.
With a costume that has bones of brilliant white to show up in the dark, Cary is fastidiously clean and exceptionally good at facial make-up.
Ed Less – Grim Reaper.
With a hooded cape and scythe ever to hand, you can’t miss Ed in a crowd, even if you might want to!
Flo Ting – Ghost.
Ashen-faced and always in white, Flo is a terror for drifting through parties or turning up when she hasn’t been invited.
Drew Stares – Goblin.
With added warts, an unusual skin tone and ripped clothing, Drew has an evil look and pointed ears.
Cassie Spells – Witch.
With a black pointed hat, black cape and broomstick, Cassie is a stickler for cleanliness and loves nothing better than to wave her dust-busting wand around the place.

Ben Tover – Hunchback.
With a dark, ill-fitting suit and terrible arthritis, Ben is almost doubled up. It’s hardly surprising his hair has grown so long – he can’t stand straight enough to look at his appearance in a mirror.
Iona Crypt – Mummy.
With rolls of bandages ever to hand, Iona is somewhat accident prone, not helped in the slightest by the bandaging on her face which always manages to slip down in front of her eyes.

Dr. Jack Ellenhyde – Mad scientist.
Jack is nothing less than an eccentric, white-coated doctor with a split personality. You don’t want to get on the wrong side of him!
Carrie Onlivin – Zombie.
Pasty-faced and with bags under her eyes, Carrie is a bit of a night owl, rarely venturing forth in daylight hours.

Ivor Wand – Wizard.
With a flowing beard, cape and a pointed hat, you might be forgiven for thinking Ivor Wand had magical powers. In actual fact, he just can’t be bothered to shave!
Kat Noir – Black cat.
Able to make a black cat suit look purr-fectly divine at any time of day or night, Kat Noir loves nothing better than a night on the tiles.

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.
