Old-Mansion Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:

The historic Anonville Manor closed its doors years ago because the crumbling estate desperately needed restoration. Rumors that unpleasant spirits haunted the property only made matters worse, and the previous owners eventually abandoned the once-elegant bed-and-breakfast without looking back.

A secretive entrepreneur has now purchased and renovated the manor, restoring it to the grandeur of the days when the estate was frequented by the rich and famous. The new owner has assured the media that the property is free of paranormal activity, but has chosen to remain completely anonymous. Naturally, the townspeople find the proprietor’s secrecy almost as suspicious as the old ghost stories.

An exclusive group of guests has received invitations to a grand reopening dinner inside the legendary Majestic Ballroom. You are on the guest list, but not everyone attending has a friendly history. With rivalries simmering, secrets lurking in the shadows, and an unidentified host controlling the evening, sparks are certain to fly.
