This is a mystery party game, but NOT a murder mystery.First in a series called 'Murderless Mysteries', that claim the following difference from other mystery party games: There is no murder, the crime to be solved is non-violent. An unlimited number of party guests can participate. The same game can be played again with a different solution. No one, including the host and even the culprit, can ever be sure of who dunnit, until it is revealed at the end of the game.There are 6 main characters who are encouraged to dress in costume but not required, plus a game leader. But other guests at the party can ask questions and vote on who they think did it.The six main characters in this story are members of a club similar to Alcoholics Anonymous, but they've sworn off evil-doings: Hagatha Grub-The Activities Director is a wicked old witch who cackles often, sometimes for no apparent reason. Hunched shoulders under black clothing complete with pointy hat, she frequently pets her only friend, her cat.Professor Trixie Gimmick-The Club's Technical Administrator who runs the club website is an ultimate techo-geek. She prefers machines over people and plays with gadgets all the time, getting a little annoyed when people interrupt her work to talk to her.Vanessa Van Avarice-The club Secretary is a beautiful vamp, vain, ruthless and very greedy. She flirts with all the men and is catty to all the women.Captain Brutus LeCad- Would you trust a former pirate as Club Treasurer?Morley Krupt-A former gangster makes a great Security Officer.Barnaby Underwood-The club Vice President is a stereotypical villain from melodramas. He constantly twirls his large black mustache and has an evil laugh. He doesn't understand why everyone yells 'boo' every time his name is spoken. - BoardGameGeek
