The Kiss of Death
The Kiss of Death is our newest game and is ideal for Halloween and the spooky season.
Set in Bat Hall (a Gothic mansion in Victorian London), The Kiss of Death is a murder mystery game for 6 to 8 guests and a host. Characters include an entrancing singer, the manager of a mental asylum, an innocent young bride, and the mysterious Count Constantinesco.
Tonight, Bat Hall hosts the long-anticipated engagement party of Lord Quintus Mistmere—aristocrat and self-styled vampire hunter—to his fiancée, Bianca Wildflower.
But the evening crumbles when Lord Quintus is discovered in the ornamental pond, his skull struck, and his neck scarred with terrible marks. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect.
Death at the Derby
Death at the Derby is a murder mystery game for 20 to 32 guests and one or two hosts. Set at the Olaf Downs racecourse during the famous Trek for the Tulips race, and characters include the racecourse team, owners, trainers, jockeys and horse-racing fans.
Last year’s winner and favored jockey, Billy Cobbler, was alive and well at dinner last night but was found dead in his horse’s stall this morning. Police are treating Billy’s death as murder—was someone trying to rig the race?
Customer returns after 20 years!
We were recently delighted to help a customer who had last purchased from us nearly 20 years ago.
We found records of her previous purchases, and once she created an account in our new shop, we credited her for her old purchases. Then she downloaded the updated files of the games she had purchased in 2006!
