How it will go down…
You will receive by email a booklet of information you will need to participate in our Murder Mystery Dinner. Everything will be perfectly executed – including some of the guests!
The booklet contains your character’s background information, clothing tips and suggestions as to how you might play your character. You may also have instructions to do something at the beginning of the evening. Do this as soon as possible as it needs to be accomplished before the murder can take place.
Feel free to elaborate on your character as much as you like.
Please remember that murder mystery games are just that – a game. People will not necessarily be behaving in ways you might expect. They will be playing characters with their own secret backgrounds and agendas. Someone will probably be working against you, others may have been told to snub you, or have been told lies about your character. Someone may seem downright rude and obnoxious, this is just the character they are playing (we hope) – don’t take anything seriously or personally.
Upon arriving the night of the Mystery you will receive an envelope with additional items (character name tag, game money) and any other props your character may require. Later in the evening you will receive CONFIDENTIAL information – secrets and in some cases some instructions (call it ammunition if you will).
Any information that would incriminate or embarrass your character should be kept secret for as long as possible. Other information, however, should be used in whatever way you deem most beneficial to you. Bribery and extortion are encouraged. Use the knowledge you have, as you can be sure other will use their information against you!
A little trick …
The trick to doing well at a murder mystery party is to talk to people. This helps you determine who can help or hinder you. Start with people mentioned in your character background. If your character knows them, it is likely that their character knows you. You will also have something to talk about – they will be mentioned for a reason.
Your background sheet may mention characters that are not at the party. Just ignore any instructions or information regarding characters not in attendance. Keep in mind that they might arrive later, at which time you can complete those goals or use those secrets.
The evening meal
Our Maitre d’ will contact you by email to choose a dinner entrée, choices include -Thanksgiving Turkey or Farmland Silver Medal Ham, both are served with homemade bread filling, seasoned real mashed potatoes, a thick, rich gravy, mixed vegetables, and a dinner roll. A dessert tray will be presented after the meal. Water, coffee and tea will be available with the meal.
“Mocktails” are available throughout the event.
The evening ends with a moonlit train ride
The evening will end with a Harvest Moon motor car train ride along the historic Muddy Creek in Southern York County Pennsylvania – listen to the wheels on the rails and the cicadas in the trees as you breathe in the fresh air.
