Are About To Be Stolen!

It’s a normal day – at least, as normal as a day inside Hyades Wizarding School can be, when suddenly an alarm sounds – an alarm that heralds shocking news: The ancient and powerful Wands of Procyon have been stolen from the Torchwood Room, where they were displayed, on loan from the Royal Wizarding Museum . The magical logs quickly tell who was in the room at the time of the theft, and the suspects are quickly rounded up. Back in the Torchwood Room, it’s up to the students under suspicion to prove their innocence before the security troll’s memory modification is reversed and the truth is revealed – the identity of a wizard so powerful enough to steal the legendary Wands of Procyon!

NOTES An 8 character murder mystery game for kids with an optional 9th character. Average playtime is 2-4 hours.

Bonuses Include:

• Instructions for finding the twin Procyon stars with the naked eye
• Optional adult character/game facilitator
• Interrogation format guaranteed to get everyone involved

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!*

One of the most shocking murders the world has ever seen, covered up with a children’s book and a musical movie! You know better though – and intend to prove it. The Wicked Witch of the East was, in fact, murdered ! It’s time to expose the truth.

It was awfully convenient that the tornado plucked Dorothy, Toto and the house from Kansas to deposit them  directly atop the Wicked Witch of the East, killing her instantly without anyone else getting hurt. Was it a coincidence or premeditated murder? Based more on L. Frank Baum’s original book than the Hollywood movie, The Wizard of Oz Murder reveals the truth – the slippers were silver, the poppy field was a popular place to hang out on a Saturday night and Dorothy was not as innocent as she pretended to be.  Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Murder Was Afoot!

Discover who killed the Wicked Witch of the East at your party with our best-selling, most hilariously riotous murder mystery game!

NOTES An 8 character murder mystery game for adults. Average playtime is 1-2 hours.
