Witches are cackling
Bats are flying by
It’s bound to be a wild night
‘Cause someone’s gonna die…

You’re carving your Halloween pumpkin when The Invitation arrives and you breathe a sigh of relief. You’ve been worried you wouldn’t be invited to Maria Stratford’s annual Halloween Howler – the event of the year in your society circle. Not receiving an invitation signifies social demaise – a fate worse than death as far as you’re concerned. On the paper in impeccable calligraphy, Maria Stratford has included the costume you must wear on the night of the party. You dare not disobey, lest you suffer the same fate Samule did three years ago. He broke the rule and still suffers the consequences of being blacklisted from The Halloween Howler, poor git.

You put the invitation on your mantle, ensuring nothing else blocks the view of such an important piece of mail. With the knife back in your hand, you sink the blade through the flesh of the pumpkin, and wonder what tricks and treats await you on devil’s night…

Maria Stratford is hosting her annual Halloween Howler, the party her friends look forward to all year long and rave about for the rest of the year. Maria goes all out for the Halloween Howler, and her house is decorated to the max, including her front and back yard. Each person receives their costume ahead of time, and must come dressed as Maria decides lest her parties become an excuse for the women to wear lingerie in public. This is a rule no one dare break, ever since Halloween 2004, when Samule came dressed as a mummy instead of a satyr and did not receive another invitation for the next three years!

The party is just starting when Tim Plinsky is found dead in the mud room! The nicest guy in the group of friends, Tim is the last person anyone would kill – or so it seems. The police are extremely busy on Devil’s Night, leaving it up to the guests to put together the mystery until the police arrive! Who killed Tim Plinsky, and why?

NOTES A 10 suspect murder mystery game for adults, 10 players and up with no maximum. Average playtime is 2-4 hours. *This game has adult themes. Yes, that means potentially offensive content! The Halloween Howler is not meant for children or teens – we mean it!*

- A pre-game chapter you can send your guests ahead of time to let the excitement about your party grow

In the real world, you were in banking. You liked walking your dog along the river and watching Seinfeld with your fiancé before bed. When you felt down, you would remember the happiest time in you life: vacation in Mexico, floating in a pool, soaking up the sun and drinking from coconuts. Now, on this island that civilization forgot, every time you see a coconut you wan to beat yourself to death with it. Rain comes on with no warning. You used to love the rain – now you hardly notice it. Green can only get so green and the ocean can only look so beautiful before you miss the little things like car horns honking in the night.

After a terrible plane crash, Brianne Cain, Vaughan Mead, Mark Tobler, Samir Youseff, Lorrie Du Pris, Finn Hockney, and Eva O’Brien find that they are not alone on the remote island on which they’ve crashed. Together, they live in harmony with those who were on the island when the plane crashed, all working together to try to get off the island and back to society – at least, that’s how it seems. When Simon Soldienta, the island’s longest-standing resident, is found murdered in the jungle, everyone seems to have a reason to kill him. The plot continues to twist as the survivors discover each others terrible secrets until the out-of-this-world climax. What is the secret behind the island’s seemingly magic ability to heal?

If only the public knew… they think the life of a Superhero is all glory, glamor and excitement. If only they knew that lately you spend most evenings at home eating Pot Noodle and watching Jeopardy. What else is a love sick superhero supposed to do to manage stress? Broken heart, 10 new pounds around the waist and, to top it all off, you have to attend a “Superhero, Super Villain peace convention” – the city’s way of trying to curb both violence and vigilante action! What could possibly go wrong when sworn enemies, nemeses and super egos come together in the same room? Yes, what indeed… With a wicked grin, you grab the Danish from atop the microwave, stuff it in your mouth and head out the door, faster than a speeding train.

It’s the first ever superhero/supervillain peace convention, a step toward bringing crime and vigilantism under control. Yet, when one of the supervillains is murdered on the rooftop of the convention building, the world’s hope for peace is shattered and its up to the superheroes, as well as their villainous enemies, to discover the murderer in their midst.
