Family Halloween Whodunit Mystery Game Synopsis:
The annual Pumpkin Town Halloween Celebration is returning to the recreation center! The townspeople are preparing their most imaginative costumes for an evening of eerie treats, entertaining party games, the fiercely competitive Pumpkin Carving Challenge, and the legendary Giant Pumpkin Contest.
The celebration should be filled with laughter, but unsettling rumors have begun circulating through town. Several guests may have shocking announcements to make, and others have been acting stranger than usual. With an arrogant professor, mischievous circus clown, mysterious mime, emotional outlaw, astronaut, pirate, superhero, and many other colorful personalities attending, almost anything could happen.
After an astounding discovery is made in the pumpkin patch and a thief is revealed among the guests, the townspeople must investigate the crime, exchange clues, question suspicious behavior, and identify the culprit. Your costume is ready, the contests are about to begin, and this is where your story starts.
