There's been a MURDER!

We have just come back from a great weekend in Windsor, a Murder Mystery Weekend.

Along with about 50 other sleuths we 'attended' a wedding reception and a masked ball. Our weekend began Saturday afternoon for 'afternoon tea', this is where we were introduced to the 'players' of the game. We then were given time to change  before pre dinner drinks and  the masked ball during which two murders occurred. Over dinner we questioned the suspects before retiring for the evening.
Sunday morning allowed more questioning time and over night the police had discovered information which they left for us to consider. Half way through the morning I along with 4/5 other people became suspicious because several characters were out of the room and suspecting foul play we set off in hot pursuit! Then it happened I found a BODY in the library with a knife sticking in its back, loud screams were heard (Idid feel sorry for the other residents as they were trying to check out of the hotel and people were running - literally in some cases, around screaming theres been another murder!!) This third murder concluded the murdering and the end of the game. Conclusions were asked for, answers were given as were awards.

We had a great time and lots of fun and I would recommended this sort of weekend to any out there who fancies themselves as Hercule Pioriot, Jane Marple, Magnum PI etc !!

    You are so lucky. I love these. They used to have this up in Ferndale(about 5 hours away). They were awesome.

    Hi, visiting from MMOM.
    I sooooo want to do one of those mysteries!
    We have a dinner theatre here that does them, but all the sticks-in-the-mud in my life don't care to go!

    Thanks for the follow on my page. I have been thinking about attending a dinner/mystery that they have often in my area. I have not decided if that is my thing though.
