Guest Info
Info for all ye guests attending the Grand Celebration!!!

Queen Genevieve—Queen. Genevieve rules equally alongside her king, or so she thinks.

Lord Taylor—Lord of the Manor. In celebration of his only son’s marriage to the noblewoman of his choosing, Lord Taylor is determined to host a tournament of epic proportions.
Lady Gwendolyn—Lady of the Manor. Gwendolyn is delighted for the approaching tournament To Gwendolyn, the celebration symbolizes prosperity and happiness and a chance to marry off her only son to another noble.
Baron Bartholomew—Son to Lord Taylor and Lady Gwendolyn. The tournament is planned in honor of his marriage to another noble on the one year anniversary of his and Diana’s meeting. Baron’s only regret is that he must marry for wealth instead of love.
Lady Diana of Dunnsberry—Noblewoman. Diana arrived in Fernwood on a quest for a husband. While her heart is now satisfied, another’s may now be broken.

Joking Jerry—Court Jester. Jerry is commissioned to make everyone laugh. But at what cost does a laugh turn deadly?
Willie the Watchman—Manor Watchperson. As the guardian for the lord and his manor lands, Willie will be the force that keeps anyone from getting out of hand at the tournament.
Elizabeth the Elaborate—Vassal. With a class rank higher than others, Elizabeth has some favor with the nobles. Can Elizabeth’s persuasion be enough to make Lord Taylor change his decisions concerning her daughter, or will she be forced to take measures into her own hands?
Maid Victoria—Maid. Another victim of a pre-arranged marriage to a man she does not love, Victoria questions whether her destiny is sealed or if she can change it in just one night?
Charlamagne—Chambermaid. Occupying the lowest tier of servant-hood in the castle, Charlamagne has unlimited access to all areas of the castle—a privilege others do not possess. While Charlamagne’s knowledge of the intimate sections of the castle may be to her advantage, they may also be her ticket to trouble.
Maid Monica—Maid. Since Monica has always caught the Baron’s eye (and heart), she assumed a marriage was impending. Since Bartholomew’s engagement has been set with Diana, some say Monica has turned rather ruthless.
Poor Pearl—Peasant. Pearl’s measly earnings have grown even smaller since the sheriff has been enforcing the laws.
Wyatt Worker—Serf. A member of the lowest class in the system, Wyatt will need to prove himself in order to get what he wants.

Where did jousting come from? Originally, in the early centuries of knighthood knights would often fight vicious battles against each other to establish supremacy and find out who the better knight was. But over the centuries this practice was eliminated because it served no good purpose for knights of the same kingdom to wound, maim or kill each other. A knight killed this way was one less knight that could fight for the kingdom. So jousting came into prominence because it was much safer. Knights could still battle and establish their stature while not usually harming each other.
Jousting and the ceremony
Jousting developed into a show all its own and for many gatherings, ceremonies and events the jousting tournament was the highlight. Even today we still have jousting tournaments at Renaissance faires. This tradition of jousting as a spectacle has given us some wonderful costumes, outfits, clothing and regalia from the Medieval Period.
The favor of a maid
Fundamental to the tournament was the idea of chivalrous and romantic conduct. A knight selected a lady. In her honor he would fight. If he fought successfully, he expected to receive his reward. It was considered downright disgraceful – absolute treachery – for a lady to refuse her favors to a knight who had fought in her honor.

Ideas for ye epic celebration and how to make your party space into a castle!
Setting the Scene
Creating Your Entrance
Creating Your Entrance
• Announce your guests with a trumpet sound effect.
• A Greeting: Have guards greet your guests.
• Stone Archway or Castle Facade: Using cardboard, craft foam, or even rented props, recreate a stone archway for guests to walk through upon their arrival. Pictured above with styrofoam. Instructions included in the packet.
• Construct a Drawbridge for Your Castle: Lay out wood planks to create a drawbridge leading up to your entrance. (Look in the discount bin at your local hardware store for inexpensive wood.)
– Make a black construction paper chain to simulate large chains for your drawbridge or dungeon.
• Red Carpet or Burlap Pathway: Lay down a rustic burlap pathway or a regal red carpet leading to the entrance, evoking the feel of a grand castle entrance.
• Banner Flags: Make some banner flags to fly for Fernwood Manor (directions and templates included with mystery)
• Heraldic Banners: Hang banners bearing medieval heraldry, such as coats of arms, to set the medieval mood. You can represent different knightly families or clans.
• Torches: Line the entrance with faux torches. You can use battery-operated torches or candles within safe lanterns for that flickering light effect.
• Stone Signs: Have stone signs around the venue. (Pictured below. Instructions included in the packet.)
• Create a moat and fill it with alligators!!!
• Construct a dragon out of cardboard boxes and spray paint to guard your castle.
Inside Your Party Space
Inside Your Party Space
Stone Walls:
Create your own by using large rolls of gray butcher paper or wall coverings to create faux stone walls. Add depth by painting or drawing on “bricks” or using sponge painting techniques.
Use stone wall scene setters to easily and inexpensively give you castle walls.
Tapestry Hangings: Hang medieval-style tapestries or rich, velvety drapes with gold trim. If on a budget, printed fabric or even printed paper with medieval designs can work.
Long Feast Table: Set up a long table reminiscent of a medieval banquet hall. Use rustic tablecloths, and centerpiece candelabras or goblets.
Thrones: Have one or two large ornate chairs set up for the “king” and “queen” of the party. Surround it with plush cushions and rugs.
Decorating hack: Spray paint a chair gold and add a plush pillow!
• Armory Display: Set up a section with armor pieces, shields, helmets, and faux weaponry. You can often find plastic versions of these that are safe for parties.
• Set up a Jousting Arena and encourage jousting! Jousting Arena signs are included with mystery.
• Chandeliers and Candles: Use chandeliers, even if they’re made of cardboard or are simple hanging candle holders. The more candles (preferably LED for safety), the better.
• Round Shields: Hang round medieval shields, each with a different coat of arms, from the walls or ceiling.
Barrels and Chests: Use barrels (real or cardboard) and chests as tables or storage, adding to the medieval ambiance.
• Hang plastic shields, swords, axes, etc. on the walls. Find some at a local party store or online.
• Have the king’s riches on display.
Gallows: Create gallows to put the guilty in!!! And, just for anyone wanting to take a picture!
Dungeon:Use an unfinished basement set up as the dungeon.
Consider a Pub or Castle: No venue is too outlandish for your party! (Yes! We have had customers do this!)
Color Scheme
Color Scheme
Two popular color schemes for your party may be gold and purple (the color of regency) or gold and red.
To pull the color scheme through to your whole space consider the following:
• When decorating a large area or to make an area look more intimate and festive, consider draping white or gold gossamer across the ceiling, walls, and edges of the tablecloth. Combine two colors for a fabulous appearance.
• A little spray paint can go a long, long way.
– Spray paint novelty items, vases, old wine bottles, etc. to help bring out the color theme and add inexpensive decoration to your party.
• Have a tablecloth—whether plastic or fabric – the colors of your choice.
• Accentuate your tablecloth with the alternative color by using paint pens or fabric paint to paint on decorative accents.
USING FABRIC
There are many ways you could use “fancy” fabric – shimmering, metallic, sheer, etc. – to decorate in a number of ways:
- Drape brightly colored fabric on the walls like banners. (Purple and gold for royalty!)
- Make a table runner.
- Drape over furniture.
- Tie to the back of a chair.
Lighting
Lighting
Needless to say, they didn’t have electricity in the Middle Ages. When considering the lighting for your party, you will not want anything too harsh or bright.
Consider the following and what might work best within your space:
• Christmas lights – drape around trees or inside of fabric
• Candles – place in jars or on their own
• Solar lights
• Torches
• Lanterns
• Oil burning lamps
Setting Your Table
Setting Your Table
• Construct one long table for dinner. Use a brightly colored piece of fabric for a runner.
-Use a heraldic banner or medieval-style flags as table decor.
• Decorate the table runner with gold fabric paint.
• Use goblets for drinking.
• Purchase gold colored plastic cups and hot glue fake jewels to the outside of the cups.
-Opt for rustic-looking cutlery and utensils that resemble medieval tools. Wooden-handled knives and forks can be a great choice.
-Illuminate the table with candlelight. Place candles in wrought iron or wooden candle holders for an authentic medieval look.
-Use a wooden chair for seating ideally with drapes to make it more medieval.
Create a Photo Spot!
Create a Photo Spot!
Give your guests an unforgettable souvenir by setting up a photo area where they can capture a picture of themselves in character.
A few suggestions:
• Pick a place where there will be good lighting.
• You can make your backdrop as elaborate or simple as you want.
• Accessories and decorations can make the difference. Consider having extra props on hand for your guests to pose with.

See some examples here
• Make sure there is enough room to fit everyone into the frame.
• For individual shots of guests, designate someone to be in charge of pictures as your guests arrive.
o Consider your character list and which character would fit the role of taking the picture. Ie, if you want mugshots, perhaps ask the investigator to be in charge of taking the pictures.
• For a group picture, take one just before the introduction is read or right after the solution is read (before people may start heading out).
o These are two times when you can count on everyone being around and attentive.
BACKDROP IDEAS for the Medieval theme
• Create a “castle wall” backdrop using scene setters or directions in mystery.
• Decorate a deep blue sheet with some stars for a magical night feel.

How to Fatten Thee Belly of Ye Guests (and Lyrical Suggestions)
Dinner - Medieval Feast!
Dinner – Medieval Feast!
Medieval foods can consist of things as simple as chicken wings, potato pancakes, cider, chicken pot pie, and chocolate dipped fruit. However, if you want to add some authenticity to your menu include roasted turkey legs, mince pies, fruit pies, savory tarts, and shepherd’s pie. And don’t forget the ale and wine, which was always a staple at any medieval feast.
How to plan A Medieval Feast:
• Begin dinner with soup or broth, bread, & cheese.
• Follow with green vegetables.
• Next, serve a meat dish of lean pork or chicken, or perhaps fish accompanied with sauces.
• End with sweets and spiced desserts.
• Serve wine and ale throughout the entire meal, or if the event is non-alcoholic, use apple cider, grape juice, lemonade, water, etc. Just don’t let your guests go thirsty!
• Divide the various dishes among two or three courses, serving each course in its entirety and leaving time for talk, music, & entertainment for guests between courses.
** See Meal Customs to enhance the experience!!! Included in hosting tips section.
Don’t want to go through the hassle of planning a medieval feast? Simply choose the menu YOU want to serve and give it some medieval names. Think: Knightly Kebabs, Dragon’s Dainty Delights, Battlement Bread Bowls, Baron’s Beefy Bites, etc.
By simply naming the foods a medieval-themed name, you will draw the theme through the party into the food – a detail many will notice and appreciate!
*** Simply input them into your “Fernwood Fare” menu and display for added effect! Menu template included with mystery purchase.
** This works great with a buffet!
A Great Idea For Meat:
Serve turkey legs or chicken on the bone– Perfect for having your guests eat with their hands, as they did in the olden days.
Want something simpler? Think chicken wings.
When serving, consider the presentation.
Use wooden boards, pewter dishes, or ceramic pottery to evoke that medieval feel.
Use goblets for drinks
Have plenty of rustic bread available for guests to tear and share.
Remember, medieval food was often heavily seasoned with herbs and spices, so don’t be afraid to be generous with seasonings to create a rich and flavorful feast!
You can serve whatever you want at you A Knight of Murder! But, if you are looking for some medieval-inspired beverages, consider:
Mead – Known as the drink of the era, mead is a fermented beverage made from honey, water, and sometimes fruits, spices, grains, or hops.
Grog – A simple beverage made from watered-down ale or beer, often spiced with herbs.
Mulled Wine – Red wine heated with various mulling spices, like cinnamon and cloves.
Cordials – Spirits infused with fruits and spices.
Herbal Teas – Made from steeping herbs and flowers, commonly believed to have medicinal properties.
Lemon and Honey Water – A non-alcoholic option that is both refreshing and fitting for the theme.
For your party, think of the fun ways to SERVE your guests!
From a Goblet – Serve drinks in metal or goblets to give a royal feel.
Golden Chalices! Make your own See how to here.
Or find them online for purchase!
In a Horn – Use drinking horns for mead or ale to add authenticity.
Ceramic Steins – Hearty and rustic, these can be used for beer or grog.
Wine Carafes – Serve your mulled wine in a glass or ceramic carafe for a communal feel.
Mason Jars with Handles – A more modern, yet rustic option that can serve as a stand-in for medieval drinkware.
Potion Bottles – Serve cordials in small glass bottles labeled as various potions for an alchemical twist.
Cauldron – Serve a non-alcoholic punch or grog from a large cauldron with a ladle for serving.
Dessert - Cake!
Medival-Inspired Desserts.

Fruit and Cheese Platter: A simple yet authentic offering of seasonal fruits and a variety
of cheeses.
Poached Pears: Pears poached in red wine with spices like cinnamon and cloves, served chilled.

Miscellaneous Fact: Origin of the Wedding Cake
“In medieval England, guests brought small cakes and piled them on the center of a table. The bride and groom then attempted to kiss over them. A baker from France conceived the idea of icing all the small cakes together in one large cake.”

Upon reading the introduction file, it will give you a better understanding about how the parties are run and what to expect once you purchase a full mystery file.

Since our games are custom written for the size of the party (ie, we don’t just create a mystery with 8 characters and then keep adding more characters to it), each mystery size is unique unto itself. That being said, going from 10-15 version to 15-20 version, will not only add in more characters, but it will change the storylines of the existing characters, and vice-versa in going from a larger version to a smaller one.
Because of this, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST you get a guest count before formally ordering. You can do so by downloading an invitation, inviting your guests and then purchasing your mystery once you have a more accurate number of people attending. Unfortunately, if you find yourself purchasing the wrong sized party, you will have to purchase another version of the mystery for the size you want unless you are moving from the 15-20 version to the 20+ version.
