It is the last and final session of the legendary Olivier Venesse!

This Swiss chocolatier is one of the most respected chocolatiers in the world. And yes, while his creations are scrumptious and his chocolate divine, this is not the only reason for his fame. He was reputed to be an alchemist, and his chocolates were said to have the ability to change peoples’ lives!

Olivier Venesse was rumoured to halt disease, reveal hidden desires and even cure the heartbroken! But when this beloved chocolatier is found drowned in his own drinking chocolate, all of his esteemed guests become suspects. But who could have killed this cherished man on the eve of his retirement, and why?

This mystery has murder and is rated 3/5 on the “clean” scale for the fact that there are relationships between some characters. There is, however, a “Suggested Pairings” feature included to help you properly pair up any couples attending, or avoid pairing between family members.

Great time! This was our second murder mystery party and it generates huge fanfare each time. The mysteries are set up to be challenging but not overly challenging and its great that everyone can participate without knowing who the killer is beforehand! This company is great to work with and is always accommodating to questions.

The best party – EVER! Shot in the Dark Mysteries made the planning so easy that we could focus on making our basement look like an 80s prom. Our theme was “Chiller Thriller” and we had a blast decorating. Every person that came said they had so much fun and wanted to host their own parties. The idea that no knows who the killer is works so well. Thanks Shot in the Dark Mysteries for providing an easy, fabulous way to have fun with friends!

I love Shot in the Dark mysteries! They made so many of our parties (birthdays, new years, just because!) extra special by getting our friends engaged in solving the crimes! They’re such a great value, and even our friends that aren’t extroverts can get into being a character and sleuthing. I also love that I am able to host and participate in the murder mystery! So much fun!!
