Kids’ Non-Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:
The mischievous cockroaches of La Cookaroacha have overcrowded their hometown and decided they need more room to play. Unfortunately, they have chosen Bug City as their next destination. The sneaky roaches slipped into town, stole the residents’ precious honey, and hid it in a secret location.
The honey is Bug City’s most important defense because it keeps the hungry bears of Big Bear Forest satisfied and safely away from town. Without it, the bears may awaken from hibernation, wander into Bug City searching for food, and accidentally flatten the tiny community. Fortunately, the cockroaches decided to give the bugs a fighting chance by leaving behind clues connected to five entertaining mysteries.
The Bug City residents must work together, share their clues, solve each mystery, and determine where the honey has been hidden before the bears wake up. The adventure includes party challenges and a final scavenger hunt for the missing honey. You are a resident of Bug City, Mayor Bee has called an emergency meeting, and this is where your story begins.
