Don’t fret, there’s still time to throw a fantastic party with one of our instant-download mystery...

Poison – the uncommon modern-day murder method

I’ll never forget the first time I saw Arsenic and Old Lace. We were about to study the story in my grade 7 Language Arts class and the play was, serendipitously, showing in Calgary. My English teacher jumped at the chance to take those from her class, and I immediately signed up – not because I was interested – I had no idea what it was about but the prospect of getting away from the runny-nosed guy with a crush on me who kept borrowing my eraser and returning it slick with nasal...

The Truth About Santa Claus

So, we’ve all heard of Santa Claus, but has anyone – ANYONE out there heard of Thomas Nast? If so, congratulations – you’re a total nerd. If not, here’s why he’s important. Born in 1840, this German’s mustache puts our Mysterious Mo Bros to shame. It’s rumoured he killed a man from 20 feet with that thing, but there’s no substantiating evidence to back that up (it’s believed the rumour started today in a Starbucks by me). You be the judge… Safety...

Sorcerer’s Apprentice-Themed Scavenger Hunt Game

It was Caleb’s 10th birthday party so I used he and his friends as guinea pigs for a custom kid’s scavenger hunt mystery format I’ve been wanting to try.  The game came with a video introduction and conclusion, three locations and 6 mysteries to solve, all based around his favourite movie, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. They were so quick! I forgot how fast boys can run when they have the right motivation. I think we had more fun with the props than they did solving the mystery!...

How To Remember: Imagine and Say Thank You

When I was a kid in elementary school sitting in our Remembrance Day ceremony, I used to wonder how I could  remember something I had  never experienced.  I often felt I was stupid, as though there was  something I  should know that I didn’t, and I was too afraid to ask.  How could I remember something I didn’t experience? I spent time traveling – not to resorts, cruises and all-inclusives, but to actual places with museums, bunkers and monuments and was shocked at how far...

I’ll admit it – I can’t wait for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 comes out next week, and I couldn’t be more excited. I have to admit, when I first read the Harry Potter books, it was for a custom mystery I was creating for a very special little boy’s birthday party. I never imagined I’d get so addicted to the story. Every Christmas I read them again – for some reason, the Harry Potter series means Christmas to me. How addicted? I confess, I stayed in a Chapters until midnight to get my copy of...

More Halloween Costume Ideas – The “Sexy” Phenomenon

“Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.” – Mean Girls Call me old-fashioned, but I’ve always loved the spooky side of Halloween. More than once my husband has said to me, “No, Leigh, we’re not stopping at another old cemetary today!” In my early days in the murder mystery game industry, the entire site was dark, and I facilitated all the events I attended in a grim reaper outfit.

Sherlock on Showcase – my new fave show?

*Warning – Spoilers! If you read on and I blow a surprise, don’t come email-crying to me, you’ve been warned!* Since my 18-month-old’s napping schedule is unpredictable at best, I always like to have a line up of great wind-down shows on my PVR that I can dial up when I need a mental (and physical!) break from it all. I just happened to see it as I was browsing through the digital guide last week – a 2 hour show called “Sherlock” on Showcase. Assuming it...

Fall is the time for entertaining.

But really, anyone can throw a fantastic Halloween party, they just need...

Why I love September 1st

It’s September first! Woohoo! Every year on September 1st, I feel as excited as if it were my birthday (if not more, the older I get). This has nothing to do with the fact that’s it’s actually my favourite cousin/sister/godmother to my son/best friend’s birthday, but we’ll pause for a second to say FELIZ CUMPLEANOS to her on her special day. The day she DIDN'T crash the plane and she and I both lived to tell the tale. Then again, there wasn't a time she DID crash...

Vampires and Werewolves Badges and Buttons

For those who have been keeping up with the Shot In The Dark Mysteries blog for a while, you might remember last year when a tragic techno-accident caused me to lose all of my files dating back to 2006. That was EVERY game and design file in the history of my company. It was very difficult, because I had a number of games in the works, and I’ve had to start all over again on a few of them. One of those was Vampires vs. Werewolves. The game was finished and I was waiting for the audio files...

Red Hot Riding Hood (or "Grandma, Control Yourself!")

I’m in the early days of a new project, and was doing a bit of research today when I stumbled across this video. I’m a huge fan of twisted fairy tales, and aside from being a die-hard fan of Jasper Fforde, I have also dabbled in my own, writing The Wizard of Oz Murder Mystery Game as one of the very first games I ever independently launched. I LOVE this video! It’s from 1943, and was originally taken off the air because of the beastiality connection (I’ll be honest, my curiosity...

Christmas In July Is OVER! Woot!

Okay, I’ll admit that Christmas in July isn’t such a good idea. I only just moved to this neighbourhood and already my neighbours think I’m a wack-job! In fact, I received nothing but strange looks as I balanced Rudolph and Santa’s Sleigh on my roof, and the lighted candy canes on my lawn only received attention from the neighbourhood dogs, who each took turns claiming them as their “territory”. But it’s all coming to an end, and that means Halloween in August!...

Bachelor Parties

One of my favourite custom games to write are for bachelor parties. Though not as popular as the bachelorette party games, bachelor party mysteries and murder mysteries are definitely an exciting way to include a fun activity before heading off to the pub, club, strippers, etc. That is, if you’re heading to the stripper. These days, a lot of guys don’t WANT the traditional bachelor party. They want some time with their friends before their wedding, something far away from the usual night...

I get to be a part of creating a magical evening for a bride-to-be, get swept up in the excitement and work in all the intimate details of the bride, guests and sometimes even the groom! But each year I’m left wondering…...
