It is 1970. The Bootles are the most successful band ever; they have shattered all records with their sell-out world tours, and sales of both albums and singles.

There have been rumblings of unhappiness within the band for some time, but it still rocked the world when they announced that they were to split and go their separate ways.

That means the end for the Bootles' Pear Corps venture which has been a financial disaster. Now a bad situation is made worse by the suspicious death of Paulo Fone, a senior figure in the Pear Corps with a sound financial mind but an unerring knack of making himself unpopular.

You'd have thought the people around the Bootles had enough to worry about, without contemplating murder”¦

Never run a large group mystery before? Then don't panic!

Hosting a Large Group Murder Mystery is time consuming, but with ample preparation and a good cast it is really quite simple and great fun!

In large group games it is impossible to give everyone a part, instead the mystery involves “cast members”� who are fully in the know and act out the mystery, and the guests act as detectives trying to solve the murder.

Large group games come in several different formats, clue based, cast based, multi-room, single room, or a mixture of them all.

This particular game requires 7-13 cast, and one large room. It also has an option of a series of paper clues. Guests will also need paper and pens. This game works best as a sit down event with 6-12 tables of guests who work as a team, but the game can be adapted to suit most formats of events.

The game contains two options. Option 1: All clues are provided by cast members. Option 2: Guests receive questions to ask the suspects (cast members) on paper, and have to find out the answers to these questions from the cast.
