Murder Mystery Synopsis:

Shade Hallow Manor, a 17th-century mansion in the foggy town of Dark Cloud, was built in 1670 by the renowned author Shade Hallow. Once grand and beloved, the estate has fallen into disrepair since the last of the Hallow lineage passed away in the early 1700s. Neglected by the townspeople due to rumors of Shade Hallow's ghost haunting its halls, the manor is now overrun with weeds and decay.

Despite the ghostly legend, most townsfolk want to restore the manor as a historic bed and breakfast, hoping it will boost tourism and income for Dark Cloud. While many are excited, some believe the haunted estate should be left alone.

Now, with the cobwebs mostly cleared, a Halloween bash is underway at Shade Hallow Manor. You, a resident of Dark Cloud, are torn about the restoration but have been invited to the event. This is where your story begins.

    A great time!

    I threw this murder mystery party for my husband birthday and we had a blast! The game was organized and very easy to follow, which I loved! I loved the idea suggestions! None of my guest had ever experienced a party like this so they were a little skeptical at first but once everyone got into it it was so much fun! I am about to order my second game for the kids for Halloween! Definitely a repeat customer here!

    Fun for our kids

    Played with 7 kids—12 to 15... everyone had fun. The clues kept us guessing and the characters were really all very fun. Loved the unisex characters — maximum flexibility. We will buy another.

    We did this Dark Cloud mystery party for my birthday! It was fun and detailed. The whole family ebjoyed dressing up and getting into character. I am glad we started a week out because everyone had time to make their character their own. We will be doing this again!

    Murderous fun!

    My friends and I enjoy a good murder mystery. We all dress up and really get into it. This was a great story and had a lot of us fooled til the very end. It was so easy to order this game online and then download the information for the parts, characters, costumes and narratives. Pretty easy to follow. The company will assist you if you have trouble with part of the story. We didn't need any assistance. But there were lots of fun and laughs! We decorated the house, but you don't have to. I will look to the company again for our next one! Thanks!

    GREAT

    Posted by Unknown on Nov 26th 2018

    This was the first party that I hosted, and I wanted something that was going to be challenging since our party was older teen and early 20 somethings. Well this was fantastic. I was a main character and had no idea what was going on which I loved. Since it was our first time it was rough around the edges, but it was the best party I've had in a while. It was also more difficult than I was expecting, and yet some of the guests still got it correct. Plenty of red herrings and the black mail notes were so cool. 100% would reccomend.

    This is probably the 5th one I've ever hosted and it was a great one. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Even the older guest had a great time!
