So… you think Pixie was the guilty party.
She’s such a cuddly little thing. Round, snuffly and grunty, but a thief? Look at that face… does that look like a thief to you? Perhaps…
She is well known in the office for taking whatever food may be lying around. (Usually Floss’s breakfast that she’s left behind in favour of treats from a desk drawer somewhere). And her tummy is rarely empty for long…
But did she take those treats?
Time will tell!
Stay tuned for the next installment! The solution will be revealed at the end of the day.
When someone mentioned “Bring your dog to work day…”
Of course we were all like “Hell yes”. (As if any of us need an excuse!!)
Red Herring Games is a “dogs welcome” office and we have our office regulars. Floss of course comes to work every day with the boss, but Freddie and Ida have been regulars at the office since they were still in diapers (or puppy equivalent of). Since Covid-19 and the “work from home” requirements, Freddie and Ida have both been sorely missed, but as the staff base grew we’ve seen the arrival of new dogs and visiting dogs too! Pixie has become a new office regular while her real mother is poorly, and Mary Alice comes in at least once or twice a month to join in the fray.
But it’s not just dogs, we’ve also played host to gerbils when owners are away, as well as the odd poorly rat or rabbit who can’t be left at home alone.
It’s not unsual for people to call the office phone just to ask after the dogs, and we regular have visitors popping in just to see them!
It’s less usual to create a mystery puzzle around them… but Jasmin and Jess rose to the challenge this year and so…Who stole the treats was born. Della has a escape room planned around the animals too which she’s working on behind the scenes… and Jo is planning a dog show themed murder mystery for 2022 (there’s a LOT on this year!)
Dog related games?
Not quite yet… but we do have one loosely dog themed…
Michelle Crowther’s: “Hound of the Biskervilles”
It is 1889. Sir Charles Biskerville has been found dead in the garden of his ancestral home. There are no murder weapons and no footprints, only the paw prints of a gigantic hound some twenty yards away. Speculation is rife that there is canine involvement. Legend has it that the Biskerville family is cursed and that a terrifying dog haunts the moor. Has this luminous, ghastly and spectral beast struck again?
The doctor that attended the scene believes that the baronet died of a heart attack brought on by shock but the question that everyone must answer is this. What did Sir Charles see on that dark, fateful night?
Need something special?
At Red Herring Games we can provide a death to order by customising an existing game in our catalogue or writing a bespoke murder mystery game just for you.
We can even write a game from scratch to make it extra special for your guests, and we will help you if you just want to make simple modifications e.g. changing the name of the mystery or add a different photograph- just ask for a quote.
If you’re looking for something a little different for home, or business, just get in touch with our friendly team.
We’ve created events for brand activation, book launches, private parties and corporate events. Just don’t ask us to kill any dogs. We don’t like doing that even in fiction.
