Tween Non-Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:
Mancy Crew is a senior at River Peak High School with a natural talent for investigation.
After recognizing her exceptional 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.
Recently, Mancy received an anonymous tip about a secret society known as the Sisterhood of the Dangerous Secrets. The mysterious organization was founded at River Peak High during the 1920s, and membership has supposedly passed from one generation of students to the next. This year, rumors suggest that the Sisterhood is planning to strike again.
Even more troubling, the anonymous tip claims that one member of the forensic club is the target of a hidden and potentially damaging secret. Mancy has called an emergency meeting in the teachers’ lounge to brief her investigative team and determine what the Sisterhood is planning. She has also prepared a few stress-relieving games, since relaxed sleuths tend to be more effective investigators.
Rumor has it that the club members will need to decipher codes, solve riddles, examine clues, and search the school before the dangerous secret can be uncovered. The anonymous tipper has also warned that someone within the forensic club may secretly belong to the Sisterhood. The investigators must work together to locate the hidden secret and expose the undercover member before the Sisterhood completes its mysterious agenda.
You are a member of the River Peak High Forensic Science 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.

My daughter's group of pre-teens had such a great time with this party! It was the talk of 5th grade for weeks :). The kit is complete and easy to follow, with tons of room to make this a one-of-a-kind party.
My group of a dozen 11-12 year old girls had the time of the their lives with this!
Thank you so much for making it a great birthday party.
