The villagers of Midwynter always welcome an invitation to Midwynter Manor, so they are delighted when they are asked to enjoy Lord Midwynter's hospitality at the 25th birthday party of his long-lost grandchild, with whom he has only recently been reunited.

However, not everyone is delighted when Lord Midwynter announces that he intends to change his will and make his grandchild the sole heir. Before long, the celebrations are cut short by a dreadful murder and the guests are asked to help solve the case.

The challenge for the remaining guests is to discover the identity of the murderer before anyone else dies.

The Cast:

• Detective Inspector Barney Bee ”“ The policeman sent to solve the crime
  Efficient in his own peculiar way, D.I. Barney Bee has an unusual method of solving crimes ”“ he involves everyone!



• Lord Peter Midwynter ”“ Lord of the manor
  Almost 70, Lord Midwynter is aristocratic, arrogant and irascible. His manners, speech and dress are formal and he believes in doing things properly. (Lord Midwynter dies in round 1, so with a quick change of clothes, he can also play the Inspector.) .



• Lady Penelope Midwynter ”“ Lord Midwynter's second wife
  Twenty years younger than her husband, plump, placid and very pretty, Lady Midwynter is usually both charming and contented. What she lacks in brains, she makes up for in decorative value and is always beautifully dressed, coiffured and perfumed.



• Carrie Point ”“ Lord Midwynter's private secretary
  Carrie Point is in her early 30s, brisk, cool, efficient and very reserved. She makes her points effectively and acts decisively. She wears smart, tailored suits and speaks quietly, calmly and clearly.



• Les Powers ”“ Lord Midwynter's second cousin and estate manager
  Dressed in slightly shabby tweeds, Les Power is an amiable, blustering buffoon in his 50s who muddles along, doing his best.



• Wyn Power ”“ Les's wife
  Overdressed in flashy jewellery and flamboyant, badly-cut clothes, Wyn Powers betrays her lack of class. Pushy, vulgar and overbearing, her voice is nasal and whiny and she continually criticises those around her, especially her husband, Les



• Felicio Fortunato ”“ Lord Midwynter's long-lost grandson
  Elegant, handsome and dressed in the latest fashion, Felicio is 25 today and only recently arrived in England. Felicio's English is impeccable, although spoken with a strong Latin American accent that somehow conveys an air of faint amusement at the quaintness of the local customs.



• Justin Law ”“ Solicitor
  Elderly, grey-haired, bespectacled, suited and with a permanent stoop, Justin Law is the archetypal family solicitor. Speaking in lengthy sentences and using much legal jargon, he seems only interested in matters of the law and is never seen without a briefcase and a pile of papers.

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 7-8 cast (who are fully in the know), use of 1 large room with stage area, and several prop clues.

This mystery requires advance preparation, the more notice you have, and the more preparation and effort you put in to running the mystery, the better it will run for your guests.

One murder occurs before the guests arrive and one during the event.

Your guests play the role of detectives. You can have any number of detectives for this mystery, your only limit is the size of your room, and the time you have available.
