"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 s�ance 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!!!!!!!

"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 s�ance, 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!"
