Once Upon A Murder

A Timeless Tale of Treachery
and Treason in a
Kingdom Far, Far Away
After the mysterious disappearance of Cinderella, Prince Charming is
throwing a ball to find a new bride. Some of the Kingdom residents
question how the prince could move on so quickly, while others are
jumping at the chance to earn their spot as the new princess in the castle.
As the evening escalates, a killing occurs in the palace …
leaving you to write the final chapter.
Will you finger the fairy godmother whose magic cannot
give her the outcome she desires? The prince who has used his
riches to alienate others? A devious dwarf who may know
too much? Or perhaps a pouting princess who is plotting
to win the heart of Prince Charming.
In a kingdom where jealousy, betrayal and deception
are common story lines, it will be up to you to find the
felon so that everyone can live happily ever after.

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. You can download an invitation here before ordering.
