Tween Non-Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:

It is the day of the Polytech High School homecoming game, and the varsity football team is gathering in the locker room for team-building activities, a pre-game warm-up, snacks, and an important pep talk from Coach Morningstar. According to long-standing tradition, Paul the Polytech Parrot will also arrive to deliver a few words of encouragement. The team has never won a game without Paul’s pre-game appearance, and nobody involved with the football program wants to test whether that remarkable winning streak is merely a coincidence.

The Polytech Parrots are preparing to face their longtime rivals, the Flagstone Fighting Farmers, and rumors are swirling that the Farmers intend to sabotage the home team. The students are watching for anything suspicious, but Polytech remains favored to win and everything appears to be proceeding as planned. That changes when the team’s beloved mascot suddenly disappears. The players must investigate the clues, compare stories, and determine what happened to Paul before the biggest game of the year begins. You are a member of the Polytech football team, and this is where your story begins.
