Mystery Game Synopsis:
Talented young contestants are preparing to compete for the honorary title of Miss Teen United States. The reigning Miss New York is rumored to be the contestant to beat, but every participant has arrived with a carefully selected gown, polished interview responses, and a unique talent routine.
The glamorous event will begin with an evening-gown modeling challenge led by Pageant Director Ms. Victoria Morning. After answering questions on the runway, the contestants will perform talents ranging from comedy and dancing to singing, magic, puppetry, gymnastics, and more.
The dazzling crown diamond will be displayed before the new winner is announced—but the priceless jewel mysteriously disappears before the pageant ends. Can the contestants examine the clues, question their rivals, and uncover what happened to the missing diamond? This is where your story begins.
The Pageant Director should be played by an adult or responsible teen who can guide the contestants through the event.

- Professionally Printed Game Materials

- Optional Extras, such as the free invitation
- Envelopes are not sealed, even in the spoiler-free kits, in case the host needs to view the cards. Sealing envelopes before gameplay is optional.

Standard vs. Spoiler-Free Assembly
Standard Version
The standard version requires light assembly before the party. The host must fold and insert the cards for Rounds 1, 2, and 3 into the corresponding labeled envelopes.
Spoilers are limited to the Round 2 and Round 3 card bundles. If the host wishes to avoid seeing them, a trusted person who is not playing may fold and insert those cards. The remaining kit will still arrive prepared without exposing the host to spoilers.
Spoiler-Free Version
With the Spoiler-Free (Party-Ready) Preparation Option, the Round 1, 2, and 3 clue & solution cards are professionally folded and inserted into their designated envelopes, allowing the host to prepare for and host the party without any fear of viewing the spoiler content.
Pre-game character materials are not inserted into envelopes. This allows the host to add the players' contact information on the task cards while they are still arranged in a convenient stack, rather than removing them from envelopes and reinserting them afterward.
Included Assembly in Both Versions
Certain materials are inserted into their designated envelopes in every boxed kit, when applicable. These may include:
- Blackmail notes and other special messages
- Victim signs
- Forensic reports
- Scavenger hunt materials
- Other game-specific surprise items
Keep each bundle of envelopes together according to its label, such as Round 1, Round 2, or Round 3. Some envelopes may already contain game-specific materials, even when the remaining cards still require insertion.
With the standard kit, if an item has already been placed inside a designated character’s envelope, tuck it inside that character’s folded clue card before returning the card to the envelope. This helps ensure the player sees the additional item when the round begins.
Envelopes Are Not Sealed
Envelopes are left unsealed in both versions. This allows the host to review or adjust the materials if necessary, such as when a guest cancels at the last minute, and the host needs to confirm that all vital characters remain assigned.
The host may seal the envelopes before gameplay, but sealing is optional.

I purchased this party pack for my daughter's 11th birthday a couple of years ago. It was one of her favorite birthday parties and so much fun. We sent little tiara's to all the girls with the invitation along with their character descriptions and they were all so excited to come. Although the talents were optional, the girls got so excited about it that each of them came up with and performed a talent.
The girls also dressed up that day. We had a crafting station to build your own sash with sticky letters that spelled the states and stickers. We built a stage, had judges and even crowned a winner. My older daughter and her friend dressed up like the police and led the investigation.
It was amazing!
I just facilitated The Case Of The Missing Crown Diamond for my ten year old daughter's birthday last weekend! It was a huge success. If I were to do it over, I would probably save myself money and order the downloadable version instead of the paper kit. The invitations that came were a disappointment. I thought they would be more feminine looking given the theme.
