Boundary Players will repeat the scenario performed at the murder mystery evening at Englefield House on Saturday 14th November 2009 and at the Recreational Society on 20th March 2010 on Saturday 13th November 2010 for the Reading Rotarians at Englefield House.
What happens at a Murder Mystery Event?
During the evening one (or more) murders will occur and your challenge is to work out the murderer’s identity, his/her motives and the clues that have led to your conclusion.
After all your questions have been asked and answered you will be asked to enter your accusation and details of the motives and clues on the Murder Sheet which will be provided.
At the end, there will be a prize for the most ‘clued up’ answer, so don’t let others know any of your suspicions and discoveries.
How do I get clues?
Take the opportunity to question each member of the cast on anything that may be relevant as they come to your table. Ask them about themselves, or what they know about other people. There will also be time to put more questions to everyone towards the end of the evening, but at that stage be careful!
If you think you have the answer, don’t ask a question which gives away what you have worked out. You don’t want to give help to anyone else!
Remember: murderers often lie … but then so does anyone else who has a secret to keep. However, before you have to make your accusation, you will have had the opportunity to gain all the necessary facts.
