Murder at the Manse (Character Based - Large group) £20.99

Treddlethorpe is a sleepy village with a small Roman Catholic Church at its heart which goes by the name of TreddleThorpe All Sinners. However, their usual humdrum church business is disrupted when the congregation discovers that one of their deacons has been murdered ”“ in the manse of all places!

  • Jenny Wren - Newest member of the congregation.

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.
