About the Murder Mystery Evening Game Series

• Requires 8 players (unless noted otherwise)
• Designed for adults
 

Host your own murder mystery evening; each self contained game is designed to keep party-goers guessing for hours. Includes: invitations, host instruction booklet, character booklets, name tags, and themed recipes.



*All Episodes designed for 8 players (characters) although we have accommodated more at times by "pairing" up 2 guests (a couple for example) to play ONE character. Doing so required only a minor adjustment. Also, we find that these games work best if all participants are actively interested in playing. Making an effort to dress in the period depicted helps everyone get into the right frame of mind as well.

The Class of '54: Roley City Times August 5, 1959
Roley High Reunion To Feature Rock N. Roley
Roley City High School Class of 1954 celebrates its fifth reunion this month with a weekend of activities highlighted by a rock & roll concert featuring the class' most illustrious graduate, Rock N. Roley. The two-and-a-half-hour performance will begin at 3:00 p.m., Saturday, August 15, and is expected to fill the Roley City Municipal Auditorium. "Rock has fond memories of Roley High," said the star's business manager, Joseph K. Awledge, "and he's looking forward to seeing many of his old friends again."
While the Class of '54 has much to celebrate, it will not eagerly recall the outcome of the 1954 Homecoming game. The Big Game with rival Lowe Valley was lost by the Roley Rollers 24 - 21, the first ever loss to the Lowe Riders. Homecoming was also marred by the tragic death of Becky Sue Lamour, a student at Roley High who was killed near midnight after the Homecoming dance, when the car in which she was a passenger stalled on the railroad tracks at Back Road Crossing and was struck by a freight train. The driver, Rock N. Roley, escaped without injury. Reunion activities will commence at 9:00 a.m. Saturday with a tour of the new gymnasium, after which Principal R. Anton Ravon will make his remarks.
That's the setting, but things go awry. Whodunit?
