Vampires vs. Werewolves

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 22:14:14 +0000

THE PERFECT MYSTERY GAME FOR YOUR VAMPIRE AND WEREWOLF-THEMED PARTY ON HALLOWEEN, OR ANY OTHER TIME OF YEAR!

And you thought YOUR neighbours were bad…

In the county of Lichenshire there are two evil forces at work. For centuries the area has been home to a pack of werewolves, who consider the area sacred and never hunt within its borders. Lichenshire is also home to a large coven of Vampires, who have lived in the area for decades. After years of vicious warring over the territory, the two factions have managed to coexist under a truce. The truce is sacred – neither Vampire nor werewolf dare endanger the pact, and the boundary line between their lands acts as a no man’s land.

While the two factions hate one another, they manage to live in peace. That is, until the word arrives that a dangerous monstrosity is arriving – a vampire-werewolf hybrid! Such a creature would only be created for one reason: to be used as a weapon! Who is behind the evil plot? Vampires will once again be pitted against werewolves to determine the truth – before it’s too late for them all!

YOUR MYSTERY INCLUDES:

-14 Suspects (7 Vampires, 7 Werewolves) plus one Truce Master

- OUR BRAND NEW, VISUALLY STUNNING GAME MATERIALS!

- mp3 introductions and final “confession”

- Accusation Forms

- In-depth instructions for pulling off a night your guests will never forget!
