Murder Mysteries
The evening begins with you and your guests having their first chance to meet eight larger than life characters, your colleagues taking on these formidable roles! During dinner, the characters sit at the tables and fully interact throughout the courses, with back stories and tangled pasts included to keep you guessing. Suddenly, and without any warning, that flirtatious maid or jovial guy you have been joking with will suddenly drop to the floor and take their last gasp of breath! Clues will be picked up along the way and hopefully our host Lauren Law may be able to shed some light on the case she calls for help from the teams to put their thoughts down on paper.
Death Is A Cabernet Ole Chum
It was an evening of wine and cheese at the Melee Vineyards in the Nippy Valley, celebrating the winery's 10th anniversary, and owner Malcolm Melee took great pride in pouring his world-famous Melee Cabernet. Over the past decade, his small operation had built a reputation for supplying a quality product, even though Melee's surly personality produced more adversaries than advocates.
The celebration was open to the public and the guests included both his supporters and detractors, some of whom openly expressed their opinions about his business practices. Melee however simply laughed off all negative words.
As the gathering broke up about midnight, Melee bade "farewell" to everyone and said he would stay around to turn out the lights. But in the morning, it became deadly obvious that someone had planned lights out for Malcolm Melee, for his body was found at the bottom of the staircase that leads to the oak casks in the wine cellar. Someone had put the cork on Melee, but who?!
Only Lord Will Elpuss!
It was the one year anniversary of the Elpuss Hotel, former property of the Elpuss family estate. Although still living within the house, Lord Will Elpuss and his wife Lady May Elpuss had been forced to sell their family home to a large hotel franchise when they fell on hard times.
The hotel staff were a mixed bag, yet all turned up to enjoy the drinks and nibbles on offer at the anniversary party. Piers Elpuss was the Lord and Lady’s only son and deputy manager of the venue. He reported to General Manager Ian D’Closet, a loud and proud Mancunian, and had managed to get his friend Al Carriett a job as a concierge there. Both had a bit of fancy for the Italian chamber maid Suzy Floozy, whose rather friendly manners made her somewhat of a hit with the other men in the hotel too – Jacko Altrades the handyman and Ramsay Gordon, the fiery and bad tempered chef.
Lady May Elpuss however did not fall Suzy’s charms, along with her Maitre D’ Ruth Less. Regardless of the inner disputes, it was a civil evening that went without a hitch. Come morning however, a deadly scene awaited them all as Lord Will Elpuss was found dead at the bottom of a staircase. With each one of them a suspect with good motive, it’s up to you to super-sleuth out the murderer amongst them!
