A Sherlock-Inspired, Turn-of-the-Century Gathering in an English Country Manor Full of Mystery, Intrigue & Murder!
Dinner – Mystery – Prizes
Every Relative & Servant is a Suspect
You’re at Moorbourne Manor, a sprawling mansion on the edge of Dartmoor, where Lord Victor Moorbourne has invited guests to hear a personal reading of his last will & testament. It’s the 30th of November 1899 & he doesn’t expect to see the turn of the century. Possibly due to his ailing health, his lordship has developed a conscience & wishes to right the wrongs of his past. Following his reading, Lord Moorbourne then retired to his study. Then, just as the party was coming to an end, the evening took a gruesome turn- Lord Moorbourne’s maid discovered his murdered body slumped across his desk! She let out a scream that must’ve reached the four corners of Dartmoor.
Who Killed the Lord of the Manor at the Reading of the Will?
