Kitty Kidnapping Mystery Party Game Synopsis:

Mancy Crew is a senior at River Peak High School with exceptional investigative talent. After recognizing her sleuthing abilities, Mancy founded the River Peak High Forensic Science Club. The organization has become so skilled that its members have even assisted the local police department on occasion.

One afternoon, Mancy receives a frantic phone call from her best friend and neighbor, Amanda Christie. At exactly noon, Amanda discovered a ransom note on her doorstep announcing that someone had kidnapped her beloved cat, Catniss. Mancy immediately calls an emergency meeting of the River Peak High Forensic Science Club to investigate the feline abduction.

The club members agree to meet at Mancy’s house, where she will brief the group and organize the search for Amanda’s missing pet. Mancy has also planned a few stress-relieving games to help everyone remain calm and focused during the investigation. As Mancy always says, "Relaxed sleuths are effective investigators."

The club may need to analyze ransom notes, decipher a secret code, compare evidence, question suspicious members, and uncover the motive behind the kidnapping. Someone has taken Catniss, and the River Peak High Forensic Science Club must find the catnapper before it is too late. You are a member of the forensic club and have been summoned to the emergency meeting.  This is where your story begins.

This is a non-murder mystery and does not include a victim sign, victim envelope, or forensic report.
