Murder Mystery Party

It is June 1895. My father, Arthur "Art" E. Faxe, the eccentric English archeologist, invited eight prominent colleagues to participate in an archeological "dig" at the mysterious "Fort Ap Aachih" site in Mesopotamia. Almost immediately, rumors circulate of an important archeological "find", but excitement gives way to dismay when murder is committed and the remaining guests must solve the mystery of murder.

My name is Terra Sunder, Arthur's beautiful and enthusiastic daugther who enjoys all the social status and wealth my father provides. Here I am pictured going to the camp near the archaeological site with Major General E. B. Sawteed. He is a soldier of considerable experience and skill, and is always impeccably attired with his monacle and moustache.

Also invited were (left to right, top to bottom) Ashley R. Sonnyste, Conrad Iver, Missy N. Lynke, Hamiliton MacTorr, Lester A. Fayre, and Anne T. Ickwitee.



For all those who haven't played a murder mystery game, everyone is given a character beforehand and asked to dress their part. Throughout the evening, players will read information about the other guests, try to look for evidence to accuse the murderer, and try to conceal incriminating evidence about themselves. I'm not sure any of us would have won any award for our performance, but we all had a good time.

Thanks to the Kaynes for putting on a great night!
