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
WILL RECEIVE BOTH VERSIONS WHEN YOU PURCHASE THIS GAME.

THE STORY AND THE CHARACTERS:
YEAR: Any. We put it in modern day.
STORY: This luau fund raiser for the Hawaiian Association
of Authentic Leis (HAAL) hosted by Harold Logan can’t help but turn deadly
with so many nefarious characters in attendance.
EIGHT PRIMARY SUSPECTS:
- Harold (Albert) Logan: The owner
of the Pineapple Haven Hotel (it was part of his divorce settlement). His
marriage to Stella Capwell was a big mistake but she was filthy rich and
he did get this hotel from her and he did get to return to his place of birth.
So why is she coming here tonight? He has a feeling he ain’t gonna
like the reason.
- Bambi Bianca: Harold’s girlfriend, or as she says, fiancée. An ex-con who’s clearly pure white trash and who’ll use anybody and everybody if it works to her advantage. For Harold, she puts the “l” in “lei” so
no one better come between her and her man, including his ex.
- Stella Capwell: Harold’s miserable and mean ex-wife from
NY. She now realizes she was a bit too generous in giving this hotel to Harold.
Her accountants have told her it could be a big moneymaker. So she’s back and
she has a plan — a plan that sends Harold and anyone associated with
him back to the gutter from whence they came.
- Mrs. Abigail Wiggins: She claims
to be an author and expert on island voodoo (hmm, is Hawaii known for it’s voodoo???). While she’ll gladly
contribute to HAAL tonight, she also senses that something evil is going to
happen but she just isn’t sure what. She has an interesting connection
to Stella.
- Donny Wo: A lounge singer. Harold
hired him to sing at the luau but only after Donny barraged the man with
daily calls and daily appearances. Harold didn’t really want any entertainment
- he has a tape deck and cassettes, what more do people want?
- Thomas Q. Magnus: A private eye.
He and Abigail are chums and he’s here at her request because of her premonitions. And like Abigail,
he’s an avid supporter of anything having to do with the preservation of Hawaiian
tradition and lore. What turns out to be a bonus of sorts for Thomas is the
fact that he’ll get to confront Stella Capwell. She still owes him money
for the job he did for her.
- Rebel Hanukkaiiaihani: He’s Harold’s
business partner. When Harold makes money, Rebel makes money. And vice versa.
Nice arrangement. Unless they lose money of course.
- Ruth Astoria: Stella’s daughter from her first marriage. A snotty little tramp with a bad, bad, bad attitude. She hates her mother, well, because she’s her overbearing mother. She also has a love/hate relationship with Harold. Tonight may decide which it’ll
be: love or hate.
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.
- Sadie Summer: Abigail’s new very enthusiastic assistant
who is in training (have her do everything Abigail does with complete and utter
reverence for her mentor).
- Chyna Doll: Rebel’s girlfriend. She’s a champion mud wrestler
who will challenge anyone who rubs her the wrong way to a wrestling match.
Rebel loves wrestling with her--he thinks it’s sexy--but everyone else is just
a little afraid of her, except Bambi who’s up for the challenge of winning
any fight.
- Robert: Stella’s driver and generally abused go-fer. Stella
needs to use him and abuse him. He’s in love with her, being the masochist
that he is, so he does her bidding immediately and without question.
- Mack and Matilda Titmouse: They won a free vacation to the Pineapple Haven Hotel. They’re working class types who look like the tourists you love to make fun of. They have never been out of their little Podunk town and are beside themselves with exuberant touristy joy. They ask for everyone’s autographs and take pictures of themselves with everyone and everything with wild abandon.
- We also include a list of famous Hawaiians with this game in case you want to assign "character" names to your other guests.
