Romance is in the air and no expense has been spared to celebrate the special union of Jennifer Love and Stefan Blake. It’s the wedding of the year and you’re in the bridal party. 

It’s 6.50pm, the speeches are over and everyone is gradually moving into the Sapphire Lounge, ready to watch the newlyweds take to the dance floor. 

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 the murderer may or may not be amongst you this evening and there might be references here and there to characters that aren’t playing.

You are Shonnee Hatton - the bride’s best friend and maid of honour. 

At any social event, you’re always the one that has one too many drinks and ends up dancing on the table, drunk dialling a love interest or getting into a confrontation with a random stranger, most of the time it’s just table dancing though so fairly harmless… 

Unfortunately for you, you’re madly in love with the groom’s brother, Jasper. A lot of your friends think he’s arrogant and sly but you just think he’s misunderstood. You’ve had an on/off relationship for over two years now, he’s messed you around over and over again but you still think he’s the one. Love conquers all right?! 

Jennifer’s been pretty anxious lately but you think that’s down to wedding day jitters, you think she would have gotten used to them now, it is her third wedding after all, pah! 

You do know that her daughter, Ocean, might cause a scene at this wedding. Jasper’s just got planning permission to build his business project on a major bird migration path and you know, as an environmental activist, she is not happy!

You last saw Jasper when you found him lying dead in a pool of his own blood! 

You arrived at August Grounds at around 10am and went straight to the bridal rooms to get ready for the ceremony with Jennifer, her sister Amy and her daughter Ocean. 

Whilst Ocean was occupied typing on her phone, Jennifer showed you a bluebird brooch that Ocean had given her to wear as her “something blue.” You both had a chuckle about how ugly it was and when would be the appropriate time to ditch it. 

Then things took a swift turn for the worst. 

Out of habit, you decided to have a quick scroll through your social media accounts and then you noticed a tweet from Ocean saying:

She typed the tweet here in the room just seconds ago - could she not have held off one day?

Next, Jennifer’s phone flashed, the screen lit up and it caught your eye. 

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

Jennifer and Jasper? Surely not? She knows Jasper’s your man! You didn’t think she even liked him that much! What is going on?! 

Jennifer hadn’t noticed her phone yet so you took a second to calm down and then decided not to act on it - it’s her wedding day and despite how angry and confused you feel you don’t want to ruin it for her. 

You smiled at Jasper when you saw him and got through the ceremony and the photos with a fixed grin. Afterwards you hung back outside for a while to have a walk around the gardens and get some fresh air. 

By then it was 3.45pm and the sun was just starting to set. Everything was still other than a bush that kept rustling, how odd! You peered through and saw Amy Love and Jasper at it! Are you kidding?! 

They didn’t see you. You took a B-line to the bar, it was Margarita time. 

You spent the rest of the day knocking Margaritas and holding back the tears. You were heartbroken and felt betrayed by everyone. 

When it was time for the newlywed dance you headed to the Sapphire Lounge and bumped into Stefan on the way. He looked distracted and dishevelled…. why? Who knew, you didn’t care. 

When Jasper didn’t show, you carried out your bridesmaid duties and went looking for him.

Jennifer Love - Bride 

She’s your best friend and you’ve known her since childhood. You’ve always been loyal to her so you’re heartbroken that she’d go behind your back with Jasper. She couldn’t be capable of murder.

Stefan Blake - Groom

You work at Stefan's firm and set him up on a date with Jennifer over 2 years ago. He's a kind man and a bit of a pushover sometimes, you can’t imagine him hurting anyone unless something truly awful pushed him to the brink. 

Vinnie Fowler - Father of the bride

You haven’t seen Jennifer’s father in years and you’re shocked that he’s here today. You were scared of him growing up,he wasn’t very friendly to his daughter’s friends. You know that Jennifer and Amy cut ties with him years ago. 

Ocean Love - Daughter of the bride

You get along with your best friend’s daughter, Ocean but she’s a keen environmentalist and Jasper’s recent business plans have put a wedge between you recently. 

Amy Love  - Bridesmaid & sister of the bride 

Ah Jennifer’s sister. You’ve known her for years but the two of you aren’t close. She always flounces around with an air of supremacy. 

Words can't describe how you feel. The day has been an emotional rollercoaster and it’s ended in turmoil. You will always love him no matter what...you want to find out who did this and bring them to justice! 

1 /

Confront your best friend Jennifer about the text you saw. Maybe she will spill the beans on what happened there and you can piece together the day's events. Avoid telling her about Amy and Jasper though, if you tell her this she may think you’ve got even more reason to push him off a cliff!

2 /

Chat to Stefan and see what he knows - why did he look distracted and disheveled earlier? Could he know about Jasper and Jennifer? Be careful here, if he doesn't know about Jasper and Jennifer but you leak this to him he’ll know that you also have a motive!

3 /

If people start pointing fingers at you and you get desperate you could also throw Ocean’s name into the mix, obviously not to family members though! After her tweets and wedding speech everyone knows she hates his guts!

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 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 the public chat. 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 /

Try and achieve your  Character Goals throughout the duration of the night. They are there for the benefit of your own characters.
