Scripted:    
It's 1944. The war in Europe is still raging on. To honor the unsung heroes of the home-front, Paul E. Tischan is to present journalist Charlotte Gaffe with the "Volunteer of the Year" award. But as she steps forward to receive the prize, she drops dead on the podium of what looks at first like a heart attack. But was it? When Inspector Flic arrives on the scene, everyone becomes a suspect. It certainly looks like "no good deed ever goes unpunished..."

Unbeknownst to the average office employee, there are Super Heroes working at your company under assumed identities. 

The secrecy of being a Super Hero and the stress of preventing so many near-apocalyptic scenarios are taking their toll on these anonymous defenders. 

In an attempt to legitimately gain fame and fortune, one of the Secret Supers invents a car that runs on an alternative fuel source that will solve the world’s energy problems.  However, the substance saps the powers of the Super Heroes.

During the party, somebody steals the fuel.  It’s up to the intrepid Super Heroes, with the help of their company peers, to discover the culprit, rescue the party, and save the world.  Again.


A fun mystery, perfect for office parties.  No murder, but special effects and a big battle scene between the super heroes!

This is it!  It's Fairfield High's big prom night and everyone is ready to celebrate.  The whole class of 1959 is here including the cheerleader and her football-star boyfriend, the class rebel and his current fling as well as the class bookworm. But appearances can be deceiving.  Someone here is not as nice as someone in their position in the school should be.  In fact, someone here has many enemies - all well deserved.  Prom night is supposed to be one the happiest nights in anyone's life...but for someone present this is their last night alive.

Filled with humor and a healthy amount of teen-lingo (1950s style) this is the chance for everyone to laugh as well as solve the mystery.  Get your cast together and put on a play!

This scripted mystery play with a "Grease"-like feeling is set at the Graduation Prom at Fairfield High in 1959.

Murder at the Dunmore Lodge
By: Lawrence Locke
15+ Guests / Ages: 18 - 99

Rated:

Scripted:    
The weather service predicted a record snowfall and, for once, they were right. Thirty six inches of snow has fallen in the last 24 hours and it is still snowing. To make matters worse two separate avalanches have wiped out the eastern and western arms bridges.

The only sign of civilization between the two bridges is the historic Dunmore Lodge, once a grand old Lodge catering to the elite of society it is now little more than a glorified bed and breakfast. But now this Lodge has suddenly become the difference between life and death for anyone trapped between the two bridges.

One by one the newly stranded begin arriving at the Dunmore and snatching up the wealth of available rooms. The most famous of the stranded guests is Senator Alexander Khun who was on his way to Washington D.C. to announce his intention to run for President. But the following morning Senator Khun is found with a knife in his chest, very much dead. Two realizations come very quickly to the minds of the remaining guests: the murderer must be someone at the hotel and, thanks to the ongoing storm and impassable bridges, they are all trapped there with him ... or is it her?

This game is meant to be acted out like a Dinner Theatre if front of any number of guests. It can be performed as a dinner theatre party or in a more informal party setting. The game setting is a quaint country Lodge in Vermont, far removed from any urban center.

Playa del Loco, Love Boat Style
By: Megan Kelly
15+ Guests / Ages: 13 - 99

Rated:

Scripted:    
Sunny Daze has done everything she can to keep her struggling travel agency afloat.  Travel websites have lured away all but her most loyal customers.  Without the customer volume she once boasted, she just can't compete with the online discounted prices.

Desperate to reclaim customers, Sunny promotes an exclusive cruise package traveling to Playa del Loco, an all inclusive beach resort in Mexico.  Traveltown.com can't possibly cut into her sales because she made up the destination.  There is no such beach!

Sunny sells out the voyage.  However, it doesn't take long for the crew and passengers to realize that they're headed to a bogus destination.  The crew is outraged; friends are hurt that Sunny tricked them too.

Right after the ship sets sail, a scream and a splash is heard.  Sunny has been thrown overboard.  It's up to the passengers to figure out who pushed her over the edge.


This is a fun, large group mystery where the murder is 'just a big misunderstanding'.  The cruise ship theme accommodates parties from teens to college to corporate.  Team building options are easily incorporated.   A pool is helpful for the “scream and splash” scene, but not necessary.
