McTavish-Murder-Mystery
Feb 2025 to September 2025: McTavish Murder Mystery
To celebrate our quarter-century anniversary, we are bringing back our original murder mystery which launched the company back in 2000, revised and updated for 2025. It’s 1928 and the height of the Flapper era. Laird McTavish, miserly millionaire, is celebrating his 100th Birthday, and you’re on the guest list, along with the close family and a few surprise guests! Clunge the Butler welcomes you to the event accompanied by Fanny, the parlour maid, both unusual characters, and then there’s McTavish’s son, the whiter-than-white Curate Robert, and the rather saucy Nurse Golightly. Such characters can only mean you’re in for a great night of entertainment. Soon, you’ll be stunned by a hideous murder and discover the identity of the first victim. But why were they killed, and how was the second murder committed and why? Just a few of the questions you have to ask as an amateur sleuth; you question the suspects and work out the dastardly villain whodunit! ...Did the Butler do it?
