There are 2 versions of this game available to you with purchase!
Version
1 is the Know It All version wherein the prime
suspects get the script/sequence of actions ahead of time and know whodunit.
Version 2 is the Narrator version where they'll
just get their character descriptions ahead of time and you'll add a
narrator to tell the story while your prime suspects act out what he/she
is saying. In this version they won't need to know whodunit. YOU

THE STORY AND THE CHARACTERS:
YEAR: Any (we’ve set it in modern day).
STORY: Seamus O’Malley’s Pub and Grub is a place
that he holds most dear to his heart. Business hasn’t been all that great
lately so he’s hired Peter Blackwell and his public relations team at
Blackwell’s List to help him put his cherished pub back on the map.
How? With a treasure hunt that promises a pot of gold at the end of its “rainbow”.
SIX PRIMARY SUSPECTS:
- Seamus O’Malley: The pub owner who’ll do anything
to keep his tavern afloat. He’s sunk every last penny into this PR campaign.
Now all he can do is cross his fingers and hope it’s a grand success.
- Officer Johnny Malone: Seamus’ cousin. He thinks
Seamus is nuts to do this. How dare he give away the doubloons that have
been in his family for generations! Especially when Johnny is his last living
relative and thought he would get them somewhere down the line!
- Peter Blackwell: He’s the mastermind behind this Pot
of Gold” PR campaign for Seamus. And like Seamus, he has a lot riding
on the success of this scavenger hunt.
- Moira Blackwell: Peter’s wealthy and classy
wife. What would he ever do without her money, uh, no, what would he ever
do without HER.
- Irma Snell: Peter’s research analyst. She’s
been with him from Day One (13 years ago) despite Moira’s dislike of
her. Of course Seamus could change her life forever if she has her way! Mrs.
Irma O’Malley has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
- Lurleen Johnson: A contestant in the hunt. Irma swears
she’s
seen this woman before although Lurleen claims she just got into town from
Texas.
SECONDARY SUSPECTS: Remember, EVERYONE will be actively involved
in this mystery because it will be their job to solve the case and because you’ll
be encouraging them to come in costume and in character. Use any or all
of these secondary suspects if you have “extra” cast members you
want to use or if you have some guests who want to take on a character but not
take on the full responsibility of a primary suspect. Give them their
secondary suspect instructions (included) and let them run with it. ***FOR
LARGE GROUP MYSTERIES (75 OR MORE): I'd definitely suggest
you cast your secondary suspects. During the mystery it will be the secondary
suspects' "job" to act as general support for the primary suspects.
They'll roam the room "gossiping" about the goings-in, quiet the
audience down during a main action, answer questions, bring primary suspects
to tables for questioning and make sure your guests have seen the physical clues
that have been revealed.
- Ingrid Snell: Irma’s sister. They are very much alike
and protect and defend each other to the death. Ingrid wants a job with Blackwell’s
List - the same job Lurleen Johnson has now.
- Desmond Lacey: A friend of Johnny’s whose help he’s
enlisted tonight as “assistant” security guard. Cagney will be
thrilled to help Johnny in any way he can throughout the evening. Being a security
guard makes him feel tough and brawny - like a real bad boy.
- Bonnie Cochran: Seamus’ lawyer here to oversee
all things legal. She can advise Seamus on anything and everything.
- Robin Leacher: He (she) is a reporter for your small
town newspaper who was sent to cover this event. He really wants to be on
TV so he likes to “report” the goings on as they happen as if
he were in front of a TV camera then get feedback from folks on how to improve
his technique.
- Maggie May O’Connor: Seamus’ girlfriend who
wants a commitment from him, gosh darn it. She certainly doesn’t like
Irma moving in on her territory!
