Not all superheroes are born with special powers to allow them to save the world. Superman and Wonderwoman don't know how lucky they are. What would Superman have been with a little less Kryptonite? Moderately Impressive Man? Faster than a speeding tricycle?
No, some superheroes don't make the news because they are blessed with special powers which are almost useless. Worse still, others acquire powers which are a downright nuisance.
Tonight is one of those few occasions when such individuals can truly be themselves. They have gathered together to share their secrets over a meal, conjoined by the special bond of just being different.
But now even that has been brought to an unfortunate end by the untimely death of Bill Cody, a building contractor who has been found dead in the hotel where their gathering is taking place. Perhaps our heroes can show their mettle by solving the riddle of his death ”¦

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. To find out more information about Character Based single room games click here Character based mystery games for large groups.
