It's the Brandy Butter Company's annual Christmas night out.

The staff are decked out in their christmas finery, and rumour has it there is a secret about the entertainment planned for the end of the night.

With Christmas decorations festooning the walls and Christmas music playing through the sound system, everyone is set to enjoy themselves - however, things do not go to plan.

The party spirit abruptly tumbles when a phone call comes in from the night watchman at the factory. Jack Frost, one of the less popular managing directors has been found... dead. And not just dead, but drowned in a vat of the company's brandy!

Undeterred the staff try to make the best of the evening by joining in with the police investigation, but then, out of the blue another manager dies!

The question is: who is the murderer?

The Cast:

• Detective Inspector Si Lentnite ”“ The policeman sent to solve the crime
  Efficient in his own peculiar way, Si Lentnite has an unusual method of solving crimes ”“ he involves everyone! If anything he is more like a bungling detective than a methodical one, but it has to be said, he does get results.



• Noel Nowell ”“ Managing Director
  Dressed formally, but with a silly Christmas hat on so as to endear himself to his staff, Noel has invested both time and money into the Brandy Butter Company and likes to think of his workforce as one big happy family.



• Carole Singer ”“ Director of Finance.
  Expensively dressed and with a tight hold on the company purse, Carole has a direct manner and doesn't suffer fools or petty frivolities gladly.



• Erma Starre ”“ Customer Service Manager
  With a good grasp of human psychology Erma Starre dresses to impress and has always managed to deal with any complaints received very effectively.



• Ivor Cracker ”“ Marketing Manager
  Fun loving and full of ideas, not all of them good ones, Ivor Cracker is a snappy dresser and likes to let his hair down at office parties.



• Chris Tingle ”“ Factory Manager.
  Dedicated and hardworking, Chris's primary loyalty has always been to his staff. Although out of his work overalls tonight, he is clearly uncomfortable in smart clothes and is doing his best to look scruffy.



• Holly Reith ”“ Union Representative and Health and Safety Officer
  Attractive and feisty, Holly is a bit of a party animal. She certainly doesn't associate with the management; her loyalties are entirely with her fellow workers.

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 cast (who are fully in the know), use of 1 large room with stage area, and some 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.
