Romance is in the air and no expense has been spared to celebrate you and your beloved’s wedding day. 

It’s 6.50pm, the speeches are over and everyone is gradually moving into the Sapphire Lounge, ready ready for the much anticipated newlywed first dance - it’s all very exciting!  

Something seems amiss. The Best Man, Jasper, was meant to announce the Bride and Groom to the floor but where is he? Everyone carries on gossiping, ordering drinks at the bar and commenting on Jennifer’s bridal beauty whilst Shonnee Hatton, the Maid of Honour, wanders off in search of Jasper. 

A minute later a harrowing scream cuts through the air. A group of guests run towards the noise and find Shonnee standing over a body, shaking. Jasper’s lifeless body is lying in a pool of blood, his blue eyes wide open, unblinking. 

A barman calls emergency services and a small swarm of officers flee to the venue. Detective Timothy Toole is in charge. 

There’s no denying it, someone has murdered the Best Man! 

There is no weapon to be found.

The wedding day has been a whirlwind of champagne fuelled scandals, chats and confrontations. The grounds are large and guests have been flowing through the lavish rooms all day.  Anyone could have have witnessed the murder and anyone could be the murderer. 

Can you piece together the timeline and solve this ghastly crime?! 

To solve the crime, you will need to ask your fellow players as many questions as possible, adhere to your background information as accurately as possible. 

The game is designed for 6-12 people. If you’re playing with less than 12 people this evening, note that there might be references here and there to characters that aren’t playing.

You’re the dazzling Jennifer Love; the Bride.

This is your third marriage and you’re desperate for this one to work. You’re only 38 for crying out loud! 

You’re a D-List celeb who made it big when you starred on a reality TV show at just 20 years old. Soon after, you married your on screen sweetheart but it didn’t last long. Your daughter, Ocean, was born just as the divorce was settled. 

Although Stefan is a bit of a wet lettuce, you love that he’d do anything for you and he’s always at your beck and call. 

Five weeks ago though, you messed up big time. 

After an argument with Stefan about wedding expenses you stormed off in a huff and ended up at a local champagne bar when who strolled in? Jasper! You’ve never liked how Jasper belittles Stefan or strings along your best friend Shonnee who’s madly in love with him. He was strangely compassionate that night though; a shoulder to cry on. Anyway, you can guess what happened next…after a couple of margaritas you both slinked off for a sloppy one night stand - Idiot!   

Now the slimeball is threatening to expose you on the wedding day if you don’t continue the affair! He’s also got access to some toppless modelling pics with a dodgy photographer when you were just 18. Grim. 

You hate him. How dare he ruin your happiness like this? 

You’re considering calling your estranged dad. You’ve not spoken in almost 15 years because of his links to the mob underworld and his terrible parenting, but you’re getting so desperate. Maybe he’ll know how to put a stop to it all?! 

Your sister, Amy, wouldn’t approve of this. You both changed your surnames to completely cut ties with him, but she’s selfish and vain and wouldn’t understand what you’re going through.

You woke up with a feeling of dread in the pit of your stomach. Worried that Jasper might do something devastating, you panic called your dad and told him everything about Jasper and his attempts to blackmail you. He told you not to worry and that he’d sort it out. 

You arrived at August Grounds around 10am along with your daughter, sister and best friend. The four of you spent an hour or so getting ready for the main event. Your daughter gave you a bluebird brooch to wear as your “something blue”. It was ghastly and didn’t match your style at all, but you pinned it on anyway. This was not the day for petty battles with your daughter. 

Around 10.30am your phone went off. It was message from Jasper saying: 

“I want to show the world how sexy you are. Jasper” 

Help! You could feel yourself blush and shake with fear. You hope no one noticed. 

As you walked up to the ceremony hall around 1pm you saw August and Jasper in what looked like a heated discussion. How odd... how do they even know each other? You practically run away. You're planning on avoiding Jasper at all costs today. 

You then bumped into your father, Vinnie Fowler! Yes you called him this morning but that still doesn’t mean he's allowed to show up at your wedding uninvited! You told him to lay low and to not cause a scene. 

After the wedding ceremony it was time for the photos. Strategically you told Ocean that you couldn’t wear the brooch for the photos because it stole the limelight. You asked her to look after it just for a short while. 

The speeches were over by around 6.15pm and you finally could breathe a sigh of relief. Between Jasper’s sly Best Man’s speech and Ocean using her speech as an opportunity for activism, they left you a nervous wreck. You walked with Ocean into the Sapphire Lounge and told her to keep a lid on it. This was not the day for drama despite how horrible Jasper is. She looked at you questioningly. Had you put your foot in it?! 

Frantically you look around for Stefan so that you could both take to the stage and show off your well rehearsed First Dance. You’d chosen Enrique Iglesias' "Hero" - what a classic! And where has the blooming photographer gone now?!

You found Stefan looking a bit disheveled and flustered. What on earth is going on? This was meant to be the best day of your life?!  

Jasper was meant to announce you both to the dance floor, but he was late so you asked Shonnee to go and find him. About 5-10 minutes later you heard her scream. 

When you hear the news, you're in shock. Surely your dad didn’t do this? This is way too theatrical for him, right?

We have some simple rules for you to follow in order to have the most fun and keep the game moving.

Please make sure you adhere to them at all times!

1 /

Be the first person to win the game by solving for the murderer before anyone else! Be strong in your guess as you can only provide one answer!

You should avoid sharing too much of your findings with other people, unless they are an ally or you have an ulterior motive to do so. You all have enemies amongst the players and don’t want them to solve the crime before you do. 

This means avoiding questions like “Who was the last person to see the victim alive?” in a large group. Piece together this information yourself.

2 /

Try to answer all questions honestly, unless your character bio says otherwise,

The game relies heavily on the input of all players. Use all the information provided in your character bios to keep the plot moving!

3 /

Make sure you complete your Character Goals.

Each of you has some Character Goals listed for you to achieve throughout the duration of the night. They are at the end of your character documents. You must complete these. They are there for the benefit of your own characters.

Take a look at the August Manor’s floorplans below.

If you can print them out, it might help you to set the murder scene!
