"The Boneyard Murder!"
Halloween, Halloween, oh
what wicked sights are seen….
 The place ~
Wilting Rose Cemetery ~ Grave Harbor, Maine
The victim ~ Lord Sagen Ray,
prominent Scotsman and notorious ladies' man
In this game, the murder of Lord Sagen Ray
takes place at the start of the party....but that
doesn't mean he stays dead and buried.
Once again, the infamous celebrities of
the "dark side" have gathered together for their annual
secret gala and this time it is a "fete champetre"
(outdoor feast)! Each year they assemble on
All Hallow's Eve for a chilling celebration of
sinfulness, an evening of evilness and a night
chock-full of nightmares….to say the least. This
year's blast will be NO exception as there is sure to be
some major blood-curdling and hell-raising going
on! And so on this evil evening, black
silhouettes of broomstick riders can clearly be seen
across the bright full moon as they head for the annual
bash. The setting is perfect - a long forgotten cemetery
where vampires and zombies, ghosts and ghouls, and
mummies and monsters from all over the globe will party
hardy………..until the sun begins to rise.
So what happened?
Last seen, everyone was having a delightfully
devilish time. The guests were feasting on a
barbeque of Malaysian monkey brain medley, river rat
ragout, along with bubbling cauldrons overflowing with
the potent plasma of Peruvian llamas. Bone chilling
music, provided by Haggy May Maudlin and the
"Undertakers", echoed through the graveyard. A séance
was in session and interestingly enough, the spirit of
Sir Matthew Tudworthy had been conjured (executed for
wizardry on October 31, 1694, Grave Harbor's only
recorded execution). All in all, the boneyard bash
was quite the smash! …that is until Lord Sagen Ray
arrived.
Tell us more.
Suddenly the evil gaiety stilled in silence as Lord Ray
and Nadia Tarot (local gypsy extraordinaire)
became involved in a rather "heated" conversation.
Nadia was heard to lash out, "Liar! Liar!! Lord Sagen
Ray…..you are nothing but a miserable master of
falsehoods, an overlord of deception and, worst yet……..a
loathsome heartbreaker!!!!
Nadia burst into tears and dashed toward a grove of
pine. The music began once again but the party was
disrupted, for the second time, when an arrow flying
through the air with the force of the devil speared and
lodged into Lord Sagen Ray's head. Sagen's blood covered
body then fell upon the grave of Sir Matthew Tudworthy.
Now it is time to join the Bogey Mann; Count and
Countess Cadaver; the Grave Harbor Butcher; the Cemetery
Skreecher; Boney Baloney; Black Beauty (the Headless
Horsewoman); the ghosts of Sir Matthew Tudworthy and
Lord Sagen Ray and many, many other creatures of the
night. So get ready for a ghoulish, ghastly evening of
masquerade, mystery and, of course,
MURDER!

"Ho Ho Ho…....Murder at the
North Pole!"
It was a sad, sad day in Santa City at the
North Pole when the body of Jolly JoJo, Chief Elf
and toy designer, was discovered by Ebba Sneezer
Scrooge, in the main toyshop. Poor Jolly was
found standing on one leg in a bucket of hardened
cement. He had been blindfolded and duct
tape had been wrapped around his mouth. And oddly
enough, his arms were straight up in the air…and
his hair stood on end!! My goodness, Jolly was
quite the sight, he looked like he had quite the
fright……and he certainly must have ticked
someone off - big time!!
Tell us more……
For decades, Jolly JoJo had been
an employee of Claus Enterprises and was in
charge of toy design. He began his fabulous
career with the creation of "Mr. Zucchini Head"
which proved to be incredibly popular with
children all over the world. Jolly then went on to
invent "Darbie", the first doll ever designed with
an hour-glass figure and an "out of this world"
wardrobe. After "Darbie" came "G.I. Jose"
and an array of other action figures quickly
followed. He was there at the infancy of
computerized video games and the rest is history.
His genius and adaptability to the new venue of
entertainment was astonishing….and his most
amazing success, the creation of the action packed
hand-held computer game series featuring "Volcano
Vinnie", won him universal fame…..so, it's
no wonder, Santa adored him.
So what Happened?
It was Christmas Eve and Santa
had just left for his annual, around-the-world toy
distribution trip. As a long time North Pole
tradition, all residents of Santa City gathered in
the Town Square, waved goodbye to Santa and then
headed off to the Candy Cane Cabaret to celebrate
another successful season. Everyone was having a
grand old time…..when Ebba Sneezer Scrooge,
toyshop foreman, noticed that Jolly JoJo was
nowhere to be seen. Scrooge decided to
hightail it over to the toyshop and lo and behold,
there he found Jolly…..who wasn't looking very
jolly at all, in fact he was quite dead.
Some guests include Frostbite and Snowflake
Snowmanelli (toy inventors), Holly Berry
(greenhouse supervisor), Ebba Sneezer Scrooge
(toyshop foreman), Don Blitzen (stable keeper),
Noel Angelino (JoJo's guardian angel), Bob Humbug
(Santa's navigational coordinator), Sweet Wings
(sugar plum fairy), Kirby Marlow (Ghost of
Christmas Past), Ginger Snap (cookie baker), Capt.
Pistachio (nutcracker) and of course, the Clauses.
So now it's time to decorate the tree, wrap
the presents, whip up some eggnog,
and get ready for an evening of
yuletide mayhem, masquerade and Murder!!!!!!!

A New Party Format!
- The ghastly crime of "double-murder" is
committed right before everyone's eyes….and the
identities of the victims are unknown until
party night!
Imagine ~ Your guests have
all arrived, introductions have been made, and
everyone is ready for a thrilling evening full
of mystery and masquerade. Your guests are
mingling, enjoying the cocktail hour, there's
music in the background, and then, suddenly….two
party participants are "murdered"!
To ensure excitement and
to allow the hosts to fully participate,
the identification of the soon to be "deceased",
the cause of death, and how to demonstrate the
"murder", are sealed within the hosting guide
and should not be opened until party
night. No one will know who the victims
will be, until the double-murder is committed at
the start of the game. So get ready to tantalize
your guests as two will "meet their
maker"…..and, as always, no one, not even the
hosts will know the identity of murderer
until the end of the evening!

"The Halabasters'
Haunting Halloween!"
 Intro ~ Adrian & Adeline
Halabaster, and the celebration of Halloween, are
synonymous as this popular pair are known for
hosting the most elaborate and exciting Halloween
extravaganzas! Their costumes and makeup have
always been unbelievably creative, their
decorations are extraordinary and the incredulous
atmosphere this talented duo has been able to
create year after year leave their guests
completely in awe….and this year is no
exception…..well……except for the….murders!
So what happened?
Adrian has a charming tradition that he
carries out every year. At the start of each
party and with a very special champagne ordered
specifically for this occasion, he would signal
for everyone's attention, tap the side of his
glass, and make the following toast: "Ladies
and gentlemen, ghosts and goblins, witches and
warlocks….here's wishing everyone an enchanting
evening, an extraordinary experience, a marvelous
masquerade, and, of course, a very, very haunting
Halloween!" He and his wife, Adeline,
would then sip from each other's champagne glass.
A charming tradition…..perhaps……but
unfortunately, this year, his party agenda had
been "fatally" altered. It seems just after Adrian
completed his toast, and the champagne was
flowing………there was murder in the air. …. and
double trouble, you might say.
Tell us more ~
Everyone was
holding their glasses high, listening to
Adrian's words, watching the two enjoy the first
of their bubbly, when suddenly……and in the blink
of an eye, there were two "bodies" lying on the
floor. How did this happen? How were they
murdered? Who could have done this?…..and
Why? A furious Adrian looked about the room,
studied each face and with his glass still in hand
he wailed, "Murder! Murder….right here in my
home….and surrounded by friends and family!
….how could this have happened? I will not rest
until I find the evil one who dared invade my
home! YOU….you are still here in this room,
I can feel it….. and with the help of my friends,
we will search you out, expose you……and of this….I
solemnly swear!"
So, now it's time to join the
fun and get ready to solve this mysterious
"double-murder" at the Halabasters' Haunting
Halloween!"

"The Roaring Twenties
Rub-Out!"
On January 17, 1920, the
18th Amendment to the US Constitution,
which prohibited the making, selling, possession
and consumption of alcoholic beverages wen  t into effect. The era of bootlegging and
rumrunners, speakeasies and flappers, gangsters
and G-Men, and a whole new generation of "flaming
youth" was well on its way! Yes sir,
Prohibition changed the times drastically,
which brings us to our story….
The date ~ April 1, 1920
The place ~ "Rosies", a swinging
speakeasy on Chicago's southside
The victim ~ Leroy "Sticky Fingers"
Hatfield, moonshiner extraordinaire
So what happened?
Leroy "Sticky Fingers" Hatfield
was sure having a tough time down in the Ozarks.
The perpetual feud with his neighbors, the McCoys,
and a relentless revenuer, Tommy Lee Tucker, were
making his life miserable…..not to mention the
fact that it was getting harder and harder to make
ends meet. When Prohibition set in, Leroy
hightailed it to Chicago and brought along his
wife, El-le May, his one-armed cousin, Clyde
Hatfield, his Ma and Pa, his trusty bloodhound,
Billie Blue……and most importantly,
grandpappy Hatfield's recipe for moonshine. Leroy
heard that making illegal hooch, or bathtub gin,
and selling it to the local speakeasies was a
great way to make some big money….and so "Sticky
Fingers" rented a cold-water flat on the southside
and set up his trusty still. It wasn't long
before his potent NOTO "Nectar of the Ozarks"
became very popular with the club owners…and their
patrons.
Tells us more ~
A wild time was being had by all
at "Rosies", very popular speakeasy owned by
Second-Hand Rose Romanowitz. The gin was flowing
and a Charleston contest was in full swing.
It was a Saturday night and the joint was really
jumpin! Outside, Leroy and Billie Blue were making
the last delivery of the night when a dark
automobile slowly pulled in front of the club.
Suddenly, tommy guns began blasting, barrels of
booze started bursting.......and when the dust
settled, Leroy's bullet ridden body was lying in a
puddle of blood….and NOTO. Who could have
left Leroy belly-up? Was this a mob hit?…the
work of the vengeful revenuer?……or do we smell a
"McCoy"? Hhmmmmmm.
So join Alfonso "Scarface"
Cannolli, Buggsy Moron, Idiot Ness, Anna "Sugar"
Michigan, Sweet Nothings, and Saucie Susie, to
name a few ~ and venture back to the days of
flappers, raccoon coats, rumble seats and get
ready for a roaring evening of mayhem,
mystery and MURDER!

The
Black Magick Murder!
Double, double, smell triple
trouble;
When "Sisters Three" conjure cauldrons
to bubble.
Eye of native newt and song of lunar
frog;
Sisters see the fallen star that lights
the sacred bog.
The place ~ Salem, Massachusetts
The year ~ 1693
 The victim ~ Aurora
Nightstorm, accused and convicted of practicing The
Craft !
Just hours before Aurora Nightstorm would have
been brought to the Town Square Gallows for
execution.....someone had beaten the hangman to the
punch. It seems that Aurora's lifeless body was
found on the cold, dirt floor of her cell in the Salem
Prison for Wicked Women. The letter "A" had been
hastily sewn to the bodice of her dress and a black
candle was found in her left hand. Aurora's lips had
been stitched closed, coins had been placed on her
eyelids and a hazelnut was found in each ear.
So what happened?
Many of the townspeople had been witness to
strange and uncanny happenings around and about the
Nightstorm cottage. Some say that Aurora could
take down a huge oak, chop it into firewood and stack it
at her back door....with just the twitch of her nose.
Others testify to have seen Aurora levitate to the top
of her roof to rescue her curious, black feline....her
faithful companion, "Wee Gee".....and children claim to
have seen Aurora fly through the sky chasing vampire
bats. Therefore, it should be of no surprise that
Governor Giles Bickford was presented with a petition
for her arrest. The document had been signed by every
man, woman and child in Salem. Hence, the Governor
had no alternative but to bring charges of "Witchcraft"
against Aurora Nightstorm.
The trial was swift, the outcome, evident. Aurora
was to swing from the gallows until dead. But
sometime during the pre-dawn hours someone paid Aurora a
"final visit". Alas, the townspeople will witness no
vengeance against Aurora, their proclaimed, evil one.
Who was it that dared enter her cell? Who had
reason to preempt the hangman?....and why?? To
resolve this mystery one must be ready to venture back
to the days of witch-hunts and sorcery. So, gather those
black capes and broomsticks and come join the "Sisters
Three" – Haggatha, Tabitha and Elain; the Village
Virgin, the Ghost of Lady Bickford, Evil Omen and the
Reverend Smiley to name a few. Get ready to
experience a wacky séance, dabble with a ouija board,
and deal out those tarot cards…..for it's time to solve

"MURDER IN PHILLY!"
Contrary to what our history books tell us, the
colonists did not leave  England to gain freedom….not by a
long shot. They left their homeland to gain spacious new
territories, listen to jazz and enjoy fast food.
However, they did not expect the numerous and
unfortunate encounters with the Native Americans. Hence,
the colonists needed the support of the British Army. NO
WAY DID THEY EVER WANT INDEPENDENCE! Why, they
even held a tea party in Boston to honor King George and
to present their "DECLARATION OF DE-PENDENCE".
This document begged for more British intervention and
rule. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were a
little harder than expected. Their Declaration
revealed an emotional pleas for more taxes, more stern
governors and the security of the Army.
So what happened? Well, unfortunately for
the colonists, King George was fed up the "American
Leaches" and wanted to sever all ties. Thaddeus Bell,
Philadelphia's Town Crier, was to spread the news of the
King's intention……intention of war! "Was" is the key
word here for Thaddeus never did get the opportunity to
ring his bell. The poor fellow's body was found in bed
by a rather shaken chambermaid.
Come visit colonial Philly in the year 1776 and
join General Eggs Benedict Arnold, Prudence Plum, Paul
Reverse, the Princess Featherbed (to name just a few)
and help reveal the facts that will lead to the
culprit. So get out those powdered wigs and pewter
goblets and get read to solve "Murder in
Philly!"
