Curse of the Djinn Diamond

Tucked away in the French Alps lies the prominent and ostentacious holiday hotel, Chateaux Bonque. Run by Maria Lanzarote, a battleaxe of a hotel manager, the chateaux has played host to numerous celebrities and VIPs over the years.

This weekend, it has also become the residence of the famed Princess of Goulash, Princess Gala. She has booked in to the chateaux for some pre-nuptual pampering before her wedding to the Sultan of Bongnor – a much older but politically agreeable match for the young royal heir. In her possession is the country’s most prized jewel – the Djinn Diamond – a wedding gift for her new husband and one that will seal the relationship between the two countries for years to come.

Realising that the diamond will arouse the interest of the famed “Ghost”, a master criminal with a penchant for diamonds, the French Surete have sent their best man, Inspector Closet, to protect the jewel. However, this evening , not only is the jewel stolen from right under the inspector’s rather large French nose, but the hotel manager, Maria Lanzarote, is killed too!

Who killed her? Where is the Jewel? Does any of this have anything to do with The Ghost? It’s up to you to decide!

How it works:

A participative murder mystery evening is an evening with a difference.

Rather than going out for a meal and being “entertained” by our professional team of actors, here YOU are the suspects!

Participative murder mysteries are great fun for those who love to “ham it up”. If you are chosen as a suspect on the evening you’ll be given your character booklet for the night which will contain any lines you must deliver. You’ll also be given information that your character knows about other suspects and background information you will be revealing about your character throughout the evening. If you need any props we’ll provide them too, all you need to do is turn up, in costume and be prepared for a great night out!

You will be led through the mystery by an inspector, who will be providing you with case information as the evening progresses, as well as helping you all to get in the mood. At the end of the night the inspector will also deliver a summary before you have to guess which of you did the dirty deed. Finally, at the end of the evening, the inspector will reveal all by providing the solution and arresting the guilty party! (Don’t worry – all arrested guests are returned!)

Characters in the game:

We always provide two cast with participative murder mysteries. To facilitate and lead the guests through the plot.

The roles of the cast vary depending on the genders of the cast we use. Typically you’ll have one “inspector” type role, and one supporting character who may pose as a waitress/waiter, a member of the general public or an assistant detective.

The cast will start the evening by selecting members of the audience to become the evening’s suspects and briefing them on their role within the evening. Sometimes, the cast are pre-selected by the party who book us. Both work well.
