One Day I Realized No One Knew My Real Name!
It was the day I realized more people knew me as “The Mystery Maiden” than by my real name, Leigh Clements, that I knew I had found my true calling, and my true love – spinning mysterious webs in which people LOVE to get caught.
Shot In The Dark Mysteries started in 2007 in Calgary, Alberta. It’s been a crazy ride since then! A puppy, wedding, baby and three cities later, Shot In The Dark Mysteries main office is in the beautiful Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto. I have recently moved to Barrie, and I’m really enjoying the city and getting to know the industry out here. I currently faciliate games in the GTA and Georgian Bay areas whenever I can for no charge – it’s just a lot of fun for me to get to take part in my mystery events!
So, what kind of person plots murder for a living? Well, first off, having fun is my number one goal in everything I do. But, like you, I’m SUPER BUSY! Most days I wish I had six more arms, three more keyboards and a button to put the world on pause. Add pulling everyone dear to me together for an evening that won’t involve me asleep behind the sofa? Impossible!
That’s what makes these games so special. They are all aimed at making your life easier, so you can spend some time with those you love, have an absolute BLAST and not have to spend weeks preparing or a ton of money on a party planner. Simply download, print, cut and play! And soon, you won’t even have to cut anymore, but more on that later…
Download, print, cut and play, and others will think you secretly have eight arms! How did she pull of such a fantastic evening, they’ll wonder! Meanwhile you’ll quietly snicker because you have a secret – and that’s where we come in.
We were proud to be featured in the CRAVE Toronto Guide – The Urban Girl’s Manifesto showcasing 125 of Toronto’s top entrepreneurs (check us out on page 196, and if you would like a copy, we have a few spares to sell for $15 CAD). There’s my son reading our spread!
My favourite mysteries to write are Custom Mysteries for events like corporate ice breakers, surprise birthday parties etc, because I get to add the personal details to mysteries that make those involved say, “How did they know that?!” But really, anything mysterious gets me. I’m a huge fan of LOST, The Prisoner and enjoy watching Murder She Wrote every evening on the local channel and predicting the entire plot.
When I’m not plotting murder or penning tricky children characters, I love yoga, reading, geocaching, being a wife and a mother to my sweet little 15-month-old and playing with my golden lab.
I’d love to hear from you! Send me a message or call 647-330-HOST! Enjoy your mystery, because I really enjoyed making it for you!
