The Challenge

To solve the clues, eliminate suspects, weapons and locations and discover the solution to the "Murder at the Museum".

Full Details

Guests will be split into four teams and each team will be given one of the four murder mystery challenges. These challenges are identified by colour (red, blue, green and yellow). Although all 4 challenges involve solving the murder of Professor McNasty at the Merrymurder Museum, each challenge has a different solution and a different set of clues. This means teams cannot cheat by overhearing the deductions of other teams!

Each team will receive a sheet showing possible suspects, weapons and locations and a pack of 10 clues. They will also receive instructions on how to solve the case.

There are 8 museum exhibits. These comprise 6 paintings, the museum tea shop menu and the exhibition poster. These will be put up on display around the party location. All four teams will be using these exhibits to help them solve their specific challenge.

By using the clues and studying the museum exhibits each team will be able to eliminate various suspects, weapons and locations. If they do this correctly they will eventually be left with just the murderer, the murder weapon and the murder location.

The party host will have the solutions to each of the 4 challenges. Having investigated the crime each team will fill out a solution sheet and bring this to the party host. The team can then be given their specific solution so they can see if they correctly solved the case. To make the challenge more competitive a prize can be offered to the first team to correctly identify their solution.

Personalised Version

In the personalised version of the game your guests will be featured in the challenge as the museum staff suspects, the owners of the potential weapon exhibits and the art patrons who have generously lent paintings to the exhibition.
