Star Trek New Generation Murder Mission Invitation, Summary, and Character Descriptions

Introduction to Murder Mystery Games

How it works

Ever watch Colombo?  Agatha Christie?  Sherlock Holmes?  Sure you have.  We all have and we all try to figure out whodunnit?  Similar to a murder on TV or in a book, friends gather to try their best to figure out the elements of a murder during a dinner party or in some cases aboard a train, or cruise ship.  It's a great icebreaker, and a fun way to get to know new people and renew old friendships as well.

You will be surprised at the depth to which players get involved in their role and the different possibilities.   Each mystery has several possible solutions, and there is no right or wrong.  You just use your head, listen, use your imagaination and try to throw suspicion on others, because even though you are a very nice person, someone will be blaming you for the murder.

Scenes---

There will be several scenes to the mystery, usually three to five.  During these scenes, characters will reveal information they are required to reveal, and try to lead you astray by outright lying and misdirection.  Scripts given out to players will advise each on questions they can ask, although they are not limited to those questions.  The facilitator (usaully the host) will review conclusions at the end of each scene to make sure all information was brought out that was supposed to be known at that time.


During the mystery you will be trying to ascertain the elements of the murder including----

Who committed the murder?
How was the murder committed?
What was the weapon if any?
What was the killer's motive for killing the victim?
Where was the murder committed?

Players----Each player will have either a role to play out using a script, or will be a detective trying to solve the murder.  Most mysteries have about 8-14 players and two or more detectives.  Successful sleuths will be awarded fabulous prizes at the end of the game.

Most players wil have plenty of reason to kill the victim, a person who usually deserves to be killed,  but might not have the strength, opportunity, or motive for murder.  These are the clues that will assist you in eliminating most people who on the surface appear to be legitimate suspects.  Expect many red herrings.


Good luck on your quest to solve the crime.

Randall.

Destiny’s Revenge

A Murder Mystery by Randall Anson

Preface----

The idyllic voyage had begun innocently enough, the same disgruntled passengers, bored crew members and aloof staff as on every cruise until events brought disparate people together  in fear that a murderer lurks among them.  All was quite routine for the Carnival Sunshine until Thursday Morning when the Ship’s confidential alarm system brought many of the officers and staff to Cabin 9183 to confirm the report.  A passenger, obviously expired, verified their greatest fears.  Yet another catastrophe for the line.  No matter the cause, this can’t be good for business.  Officers and staff alike needed no words.  The lady was dead, alright.  Who was she?  How did she die?  Why on our ship? How do we explain this to the other passengers, worse yet----the relentless media bent on destroying Carnival’s reputation. 

“Alert the Captain.”  Get a secure line and wake up Miami Crisis Management.  Let’s get this handled right away. Her commanding words surprised even herself.  Angela thought her own thoughts as various scenarios ran through her mind.  What are the possibilities ---Stroke?  Heart Attack?  So young, not likely.  No obvious marks.  Suicide?   But how and why?    “Get some security up here NOW!”  No one in or out except top end staff.  Angela looked at her watch.  9:32 Ships time.  A time she will never forget.

Where’s Doc?  On the way, I hope.  

Who found her?  We got a call around 9:00 at Security from the other passenger in this cabin.  We came right down.  Got here at 9:06.  Where’s the guy?  He is in Security now giving a statement.  “Keep him there till we figure out what’s going on.  Move him without his stuff to 5343 and watch him.  Do not leave him alone!! “  Long way from here isn’t it??  “Exactly.  Now get going.  I don’t want him up here.  Schmooze him however you need to.”

Doc’s here.   Hello Doctor.  Please have a look and tell me what you can.   Give me awhile, Doc says to Angela.  “Bob----Guards at the door on the INSIDE only.  No one disturbs the place.”  Got it Boss.

Doc.---  Page me in an hour or less please.  Ok, Angela, just need to take it slow and easy here. 

Angela’s coffee went down hard.  Bitter caffeine mixing with her twinging stomach made for a bad Thursday start.   Second cup---no better.   

Finally the page.    Ok Doc, what do we have? “    No marks, no signs of suicide either,  like pills, or a note.  But one thing is certain.  Somebody stopped her heart.  Not sure how yet, but that was her downfall.   Looks like some kind of foul play, I am afraid.   

Angela clicked off and headed to the restroom.  Her queasiness had just exploded, right after her career, apparently.
