This time it was camp-themed and took place at Camp Harvey. The host/wilderness tour guide (Elle) invited everyone for the reading of the will of a man they all had connections with. After a picnic dinner Elle revealed that there was another reason she invited them all: one of them murdered the guy and they would all have to find out who!
Elle helped me decorate. We had wildlife
And signs:
And trees
I totally forgot to get pictures of everyone! I didn't even get a group shot! :'(
The characters were
1-Elle--the host and camp tour guide
2-The older son of the deceased who was vice president of his dad's media company
3- The younger son of the deceased who was a lowly mailman
4-A woman running for congress that the deceased was supporting
5-A girl's basketball coach who was a long time friend of the deceased
6-A pretty Jr. News reporter that worked for the deceased
7-A top investigative reporter who also worked for the deceased
8-The housekeeper/cook who worked for the deceased
Then they all got together to use the evidence they collected to accuse each other and deny everything about themselves.
Finally, they read their confessions one by one until the murderer confessed!
It turns out that Elle was the murderer all along! (She didn't even know until confession time)
The will was written in such a way that any living relative of the deceased's wife would get 50% of everything. No one knew, but Elle was the sister of the deceased's wife and killed the guy to get the 50%.
This incriminating photo of Elle and her sister was pretty damning evidence though. (Chris does photoshop every time to make the party more interesting and funny)
We ended with s'mores on the BBQ which was a complete fail, but they ate them anyway.
I think everyone had a great time!
