Following the committal of Mr. Ed N. Burried this afternoon, friends, family and local acquaintances have been invited back to Burried Manor to partake of a formal meal in remembrance of the deceased.

When his daughter, Countess Carrie De’Bodies, is unable to offer her heartfelt thanks to those gathered due to her emotional state, Mr. Oles, the funeral director, is invited to say a few words.

His words shake the family and assembled guests.

As the wake turns into an inquest, the guests become embroiled in the politics of the Burried estate.

Can Mr. Ed N. Burried, now dead and buried, rest in peace, or will he have to be exhumed to solve the case?

The Cast:

• Count De’Bodies (local aristocracy)
  Tall, debonair and very charming, Count De’bodies has money, power and looks.



• Carrie De’Bodies (wife of Count De’Bodies and eldest daughter of the deceased)
  Aristocratic and of excellent deportment, Carrie is the eldest daughter of Ed Burried and principle heir to the estate.



• Ivanna Bitzeneck (youngest daughter of the deceased)
  Wacky, fun, and not the slightest bit stuffy, Ivanna has rebelled against her aristocracy and become one of the proletariat.



• Ben Tover (butler)
  Solemn and reserved, Ben Tover is measured, methodical and willing to serve.



• Doug Oles (funeral director)
  Discreet, unobtrusive and wearing the traditional black, Doug is a pillar of support for the bereaved.

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 5 cast (who are fully in the know) and the use of 1 large dining room . One murder occurs before the guests arrive and one during the evening. The game is constructed to be run during a formal dinner.

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, however we would suggest a number no greater than 200.
