It was nice to have a lighter schedule last week in the craziness of summer! This week I return to form with a full week of shows, with many shows being at schools I have not visited before. I get really excited about seeing familiar faces at my shows but being able to share my tales with an audience who hasn’t had a chance to hear them still feels really special!

Last week, every Mystery Room was busting at the seams! We had a full group in Carver where the winning team just happened to a member whose birthday it was! So, an added bonus for the newly 8 year old! Also, in Attleboro, we had a self described Mystery Room fanatic shower praise on the game of The Unfortunate Passing of Pliant McTwist: A Murder Mystery.

This week, I have a full week of Big Ryan shows as well as an Alien Escape Mystery Room in Kingston! While Kingston’s game is full, there will be plenty of chances to join us coming up in the fall!

The children who came to the premiere of Alien Escape was a rousing success! Of the many comments we received we heard the room was “so much fun” and “a real challenge (in a good way)” I wanted to not just present a game but a real experience – and I feel like I delivered exactly what I was hoping to!

The kids that arrived loved all the different kinds of games and original experiences that this Mystery Room has to offer! I am excited to bring this game to many of the libraries this summer. If this game is any indication, we’re in for a great summer!

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:

Check the Upcoming Shows Page for more information, but I thought I’d highlight the exciting opportunities coming up!

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!

The winner pic of the trio of ladies who were promoted to full detectives!:

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