You are cordially invited to solve the murder of Mortimer Grimsby, the famous octogenarian author. It is Saturday, March 6, 1955, and you are at a party to celebrate the publication of Mortimer's latest book, a crime narrative titled The Art of Embezzlement. You soon find that your host has been murdered at his own party! Who did it? Is it the son, the heir to Mortimer’s fortune? Or is the ambitious daughter-in-law the culprit? Could the young nurse have a secret? Only you and your friends can solve this mystery.

 

In this unscripted murder mystery game, only the host and the murderer know the solution. If you like to solve mysteries, improvise, dress in costume and get into character, this game is for you!

 

Before proceeding, please see Terms and Conditions.
