This amazing group visited East Bridgewater to help solve the case of The Unfortunate Passing of Pliant McTwist. The kids that came to play was one of the more excited groups this summer!

Everyone was racing to be the first to solve the case s they could be promoted to lead detective!

Ultimately, these ladies solved first and were the winners! The rest of the impressive groups finished right after with everyone able to solve the case, telling me who, what, where, and why!

Congratulations to all the detectives!

This past Thursday, I brought The Unfortunate Passing of Pliant McTwist: A Murder Mystery to the Groton Library! A great group Jr. Detectives battled the suspects and played their games to collect all the evidence they need to point out the real culprit!

Every team fought hard, hoping to be the first to tell me who, what, where and why Pliant McTwist was MURDERED!

Ultimately, these girls finished just in the nick of time, beating out the other teams to be promoted to lead detective:

Nice job to everyone:

I am so humbled by the amazing parents and kids who jumped right into the mystery room with excitement! These brave souls discovered their lineage and then earned enough to obtain their totem!

Amazingly, these teams translated, searched, transported, assembled and even unlocked their way to success! The teams were so enthusiastic and were happy to spend an hour solving this mystery out of the summer heat!

These teams all finished with flying colors and are showing off the monsters they adopted on the way out of Bludhaven!:

The winners was this mother/son team who are proudly wearing their medals and winning smiles!

I’ve given a few things a splash of color starting with the new logo above. I like it a lot, but I may keep working on it as well. Speaking of a splash of color you might remember the first image of Monster Mash I showed you looking like this:

But I gave it too a small color splash. Trying to keep it in the grayscale of the Universal Monsters tradition of the movies being in black and white. With only a hint rose I love the new look and this is the image featured predominately on the flyers that will be promoting the game.

I have a test run potentially happening on June 18th. I will make an announcement and throw out some invites to everyone once I have confirmed the venue.  I will also be snapping a few pics of the games you can expect – I am so excited to bring them to you!

I also have about a dozen Mystery Rooms scheduled for the summer all over the place – make sure to bring your tweens and teens to have a blast at solving these great mystery rooms! Check the Upcoming Shows page for all the dates!

I had a blast bringing The Unfortunate Passing of Pliant McTwist: A Murder Mystery to the Wilbraham Library this past Tuesday! These groups came to play as they made their way through every suspect and their games to get the evidence they need to solve the case!

After completing the physical and mental challenges they sorted through the evidence and revealed the real culprit! The pic (above) is the winning ladies realizing that their deductive skills were a success and they were correct!

This brother/sister team (above) showed a lot of heart in getting the answers they needed to find the guilty party! They worked so well together and came up with the solution in the end! Although they were a little shy when it came to the taking a “Solved It!” picture they still deserve so much credit!

A few more pics of some great teams – these brother and sister teams solved the mystery and helped to bring the killer to justice!

I am having a blast creating the new Traveling Mystery Room titled: The Monster Mash! Debuting this summer, the game will be all about finding the monster underneath and becoming the leader of your pack! I have so many exciting pieces to show off and fun games to play! Keep an eye out for which libraries are hosting this brand new game!

I am so happy to show off the teams that arrived to help solve the case of The Unfortunate Passing of Pliant McTwist: A Murder Mystery! Even my daughter, Alexandra was on hand to help the detectives!

These skilled detectives went to work beating each of the suspects at their own games! They were constantly impressive and wonderfully enthusiastic in sifting through the evidence!

In the end, this Father/Daughter Trio finished first and earned their badges!

But no one leaves empty handed! Each player earned their badges as well, and took a victory photo!

The Flint Library hosted The Unfortunate Passing of Pliant McTwist: A Murder Mystery! The children who arrived certainly came to play! Fierce competition as the kids “interrogated” the suspects and played faced the challenges that awaited them!

Each group did such an amazing job completing the games, including the physical challenges of yoga poses!

Ultimately, it was these two young players who finished sifting through the evidence and pointed out the real culprit! Congratulations to these young men for earning their badges!

And a huge thank you to the other teams for finishing us solve the case!

An exciting experience brought to you by Big Ryan’s Tall Tales! Everyone loves Mystery Rooms and now children 7-16 can partake in a real life mystery! These Traveling Mystery Rooms are open to all ages (ages 7-9 with parental assistance) and include riddles, observation and memorization puzzles, physical challenges, as well as games promoting math and geography!

I have been getting a lot of inquiries about how the rooms run and what kind of space is required. I can fit into any space and the rooms run with two game masters who help with clues and hints if anyone is struggling.

These fun games offer chances to use cognitive thinking and reasoning skills, as well as encourage team building with a healthy dose of competitive spirit!

There are two games to choose from:

“The Unfortunate Passing of Pliant McTwist: A Murder Mystery”

and

“The Monster Mash”
