Murder Mystery Synopsis:
The Dawson family moved into their new home at 614 Scarlet Court and are hosting a block party. Isabella Dawson is an experienced party host, and it only took her two months in the small town of Shady Oaks to earn the title of town gossip. Nonetheless, the invitees are ready to relax and unwind. Rumors of blackmail, backstabbing, and revenge have circulated about town since Isabella mailed the invitations, and tension is building in the air. Maybe Isabella should have done more research before she handpicked a group of foes? Isabella promises to do her best to distract the party attendees with a fun night of great conversation, fantastic food, and exciting party games. Let’s hope everyone stays on their best behavior. You received your invitation and would die before you missed this party. You love drama. This is where your story begins.

FUN made EASY
I was a little nervous as to how things would play out. I have never hosted a murder mystery party this size. Added to my stress was the number of players who didn't/couldn't commit to coming. Most of our guests were also surprisingly nervous.... until they got there. It was easy to host, easy to participate and SO easy to accommodate any last minute person who decided to show up and still be a part. We ended up with around 28 characters. (added the expansion pack) and LOVED it. We would do it again.
