HOST GUIDE

The future is bright for all


but one at Mayhem High.
In the midst of a winning football season, school pride is running
rampant at the high school. Not only is competition fierce on
the football field, but the students are battling it out for grades,
popularity, affection, class ranking as well as the coveted
Homecoming King and queen title. With so much excitement
surrounding the election, everyone is planning on being in
attendance at the dance to see who will be crowned royalty.

Will it be the class president who is looking to extend his reign


past the student council? The pompon captain who has used
her moves to land more than a Homecoming Court nomination?
Or possibly the math team captain who is desperate to win at
something other than a math meet.

While competition breeds excellence, it will also make one guest


commit an act of vengeance…

At the dance, the sinister will shimmy among the sinless and
try to go unnoticed. With their futures on the line, it will be
up to the students and staff of Mayhem High to make sure
the felon does not go free.

Join us for a night of dancing


and deceit at a Homecoming Dance
filled with dishonor.

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING
HORROR AT HOMECOMING
We are confident that you will find this comprehensive packet provides everything you will want and need to
run your very own murder mystery party—one that will have your guests talking about it for weeks, if not longer.

This murder mystery experience is designed to be easy to run and fun to play for all guests involved. The game
is played with all of your guests having active roles in the game and each guest having objectives to complete.
These objectives keep the party from being pre-scripted and allow your guests to draw their own conclusions as
to the motives and the identity of the murderer. This format also allows for great mingling among your guests
and insures all of your guests feel included. Before the night is through, each guest will have discovered that they
have a motive for killing the victim and be inclined to protect their innocence as well as seek out the murderer.
To add to the experience and suspense of the night, the murder happens during the party, not before, as in some
other murder mystery games. The victim is also allowed to play along after they “die,” since they have no clue who
murdered them. Horror at Homecoming is certain to be a hit with all of your guests.

The following pages contain a simple list of things you need to do as host in order to have the party run
smoothly. Once the party is going, it is up to the guests to make the most of it—something you will be surprised
at how well they do.

Choosing the Right Version:


Versions available: 8-12 guests, 10-15 guests, 15-20 guests, 20+ guests.
Gender Counts:
For 20-80 guests: at least 4 males, 7 females and 4 gender neutral roles.
For 15-20 guests: 4-7 males, 7 females, 4-6 gender neutral.
For 10-15 guests: 3-5 males, 4-6 females, 3-4 gender neutral.
For 8-12 guests: 3-4 males, 4-5 females, 1-3 gender neutral.

Can I upgrade or downgrade between versions after purchase? Unfortunately, you cannot. With the
exception of moving from the 15-20 guest version to the 20+ version, upgrading between mysteries is not an
option, which is why we encourage getting an accurate guest count before purchasing.
How do I get an accurate guest count? It is recommended that you send out the general invite with an RSVP
date of two weeks before the party. After your guests RSVP positive, you can send them their character sheet
and other party information.
You can download an invite at: http://www.nightofmystery.com/invitations
Is this mystery suitable for youths and/or church groups? Yes. Our site offers “clean” versions of a few other
mysteries on our site: www.nightofmystery.com. Please refer to those when hosting a party for a more conserva-
tive crowd.

2008 Night of Mystery Inc. - www.nightofmystery.com



ASSIGNING CHARACTERS
As host, you will need to decide upon a character for each of your guests. The easiest way to assign the
characters is to read the character descriptions and match each character with the guest you feel suits that
particular character the best. They will be listed in this host’s guide, along with a sheet that will help you assign
the characters best to your guests.

• Is there a set character list? Yes. You will not be able to pick and choose which characters are included with your
mystery. This intro file has the guests listed for the 15-20 guest version. If you are curious about specifically which
characters will be included with your purchase, you can email support@nightofmystery.com to inquire about that
information ahead of purchase.

• WHO CAN I ELIMINATE WITHOUT RUINING THE MYSTERY? Information in mystery purchase.

• Because this party is dependent on a minimum number of people showing up, you need to determine ahead of
time which guests are attending before assigning characters.

• An accurate guest count is important. It is recommended that you send out the general invite with an RSVP
date of two weeks before the party. After your guests RSVP positive, you can send them their character sheet and
other party information.

• You can download an invite at: http://www.nightofmystery.com/invitations

• After purchase, you will not be able to “upgrade” or “downgrade” your party to the next level, so an accurate
guest count is imperative. **There is an upgrade when moving from the 15-20 guests version to the 20+ guest
version for purchase on the site, but the 15-20 guest version is the only version where the upgrade works.

• The killer will not know they are the murderer until they open their second envelope at the party.

• The victim will not know they are the victim until they get to the party. The victim will not have a list of
objectives for after the murder. Also listed in their first set of objectives is to, “fall down dead when the lights go
off.”

• The victim after “death”: If the victim wishes to play along after the murder, they can do so without an identity.
If you have an extra identity (that is, a role that is not being played), they can also assume that identity if they so
choose. *If Principal Simpson is not assigned, the victim will assume this role after they have “died.” Read below.

• As host, who should I be? Information in mystery purchase.

• Ideas for assigning couples: Information in mystery purchase.

• Different versions for this mystery: Adult, Clean, Non-Murder versions.

Some Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I run this as a first-time host? First-time hosts need not be wary. Night of Mystery parties have everything you
need to throw a successful party and are designed to be easy-to-run.

Can I play along without knowing who the victim and/or murderer are? OF COURSE! Unlike some other
mystery parties, we have designed our materials so that the hosts can play along! As host, you will read the host’s
guide in full to ensure that you are setting the game up correctly WITHOUT letting you know who the murderer
is! If you wish to know the murderer, you can simply read the solution.

Will a murder happen AT the party? YES again! We found this adds to the excitement, intrigue, and fun of the
party! It’s another reason why we are a stickler for “no spoilers on social media” – we can’t have pictures of the victims
for fear of ruining the intrigue for others!

How can I pick the “right” party theme? We always recommend you pick the theme that you are most passionate
about hosting and/or you believe your guests will be most excited about coming to! We do our best to accommodate
multiple sizes within each party theme to accommodate that.
• If having specific gendered roles is important to you, please see the gender counts for the version you plan on
ordering.
• Additionally, if you are worried about a mystery being too racy, please see our clean versions.
• If specific characters within a mystery are important to you, reach out to support@nightofmystery.com and we can
let you know (specifically) which characters are included with the version you are considering.

Can I run this with my business and/or group organization? With a business license, you can run these mystery
parties with your organized group and/or business. Please see our FAQ for more information on business licenses.

Do you come and run the party? We do not. Our services are in providing YOU with everything you need to
throw your party in your own home or venue. IF you have a desire for someone else to run your party, please see our
resources page for party planners who have purchased our business license and are licensed to run our parties in your
area.

A Note about Social Media: While we LOVE to see your fun parties – and often highlight and cross-promote
those who tag us – we can’t have anyone posting pictures of spoilers! This includes, but is not limited to, pictures,
videos, or mentions of the victim, murderer, and/or pertinent clues in the game. Since spoiler posts create
a calculated loss of business, you can be liable to pay the calculated loss of sales upon discovery of the
violation. So keep it fun, crazy, and show us your best spoiler-free content!!! And don’t forget to tag us
after! #nightofmystery

How does this work? All of our parties come as a professionally designed 50-125 page pdf. Immediately after
completing your order, you will be able to re-login to your account using the username and password you established
in the purchasing process. Once in your account, you can download your party (including optional emailable
invitations for your guests) for 120 days.

• Most likely, the length of the party will take 2-4 hours. The party length will depend on a number of factors, including
how well your guests know each other, if you are serving dinner, and how well they mingle.

Stage One: The Guests Arrive


• Have the guests’ (A) envelopes, name tags, and money available for them when they arrive.

Stage Two: Introduction


• After all of the guests have arrived, hand Sarah Social the Introduction and have her read it aloud to everyone.
• Have time for guests to mingle and complete their objectives
• This may require 30-60 minutes depending on how well your guests know each other.
• If serving dinner, this may be a good time for dinner to be served.
• About 20 minutes after the guests have started mingling, let Clerical Katie know that they can announce the Homecom-
ing King and Queen winners. If you wish, you may want to have a crown, tiara and sashes for the Homecoming King and Queen
for when they are announced. This is not necessary, but a great added touch.

Stage Three: Murder and Investigation


• When guests start to settle down and you are sure the victim has completed all of their objectives, arrange for the
lights to go off.
• When the lights come back on, the victim will be dead.
• Give Principal Simpson tape, so that they can outline the position of the body on the floor. (Optional)
• If victim is assuming role of Principal Simpson now, have the victim rise and introduce them as the investigator, Principal
Simpson.
• Have Principal Simpson open the Investigation Envelope and read the investigation directions to everyone.
• Hand out and have the guests open their (B) envelopes which will have new information and objectives for the
guests to complete now that the murder has occurred.

Stage Four: Evidence Presentation


• When Principal Simpson has let you know that they have finished their investigation, hand Principal Simpson the
evidence presentation and have them present the evidence to the guests.
• It is best if the evidence is then laid on a table so that everyone may see it.
• Give your guests additional time to review the evidence. **If having a large party, consider making multiple copies that
you can set out at this point.
• Hand out the ‘Who Dunnit’ accusation sheets and have everyone complete and turn them in.

Stage Five: The Solution


• When all the ‘Who Dunnit’ sheets are handed in, ask Principal Simpson to read the solu-
tion aloud to the guests.
• Using the tally sheet included, calculate who the winners are.
• Award the certificates.

Sample Character
From Another Mystery

Banker Bob
As the bank owner in the town of Deadwood, you do business with many of the people in the town and also some
of the participants of the Deadwood Poker Tournament. One of your foremost clients is Harry High-Stakes (the
Deadwood Saloon owner). In order to get the saloon established and operating in it’s first year, you have loaned Harry
a substantial amount of money. Although the saloon appears to be doing very well, you are uncertain why Harry is
continually delinquent and sometimes misses his payments on his loan. Just last month, Harry was late again on his
payment and you warned him that you will have to put his saloon into foreclosure if he cannot repay the money he owes
on the loan by next month. You suspect that Harry is throwing the Deadwood Poker Tournament in order to get enough
money so that he can repay his debt. This will be an important week to see if you will gain your money back from Harry’s
loan or if you will gain control over the saloon.
Because Harry is such a difficult and delinquent client, you hope that you will gain control over the saloon. If the
saloon becomes the bank’s property, you speculate that you may have a very wealthy buyer in Montgomery Money, an
investor from the East. Because of Montgomery’s reputation, you are certain that you will make a healthy profit off of
selling the saloon to Montgomery and he will be consistent and reliable when making his loan payments.
In addition to all the excitement of the tournament, your bank was held up at gun point. Banker Bonnie (your wife)
was watching the bank over the noon hour while you were meeting with Harry about his payments. Because of the
high ante for the poker tournament, you are convinced that the robber must have been a gambler who was trying to
accumulate enough money to pay for the entry fee. Since you view Sheriff Sam (the sheriff ) as a very lazy individual, you
plan on taking matters into your own hands when it comes to finding the culprit of the bank robbery and bringing them
to justice! In addition, you do not believe that Sheriff Sam is a moral character as well. Just this past week, you saw Sheriff
Sam taking money from Harry High-Stakes. While you do not know the details of the transaction, the secretive nature
in which the money was exchanged suggests that it was not for an honest reason.
As the Deadwood Poker Tournament Party quickly approaches, you are looking forward to attending for a few
reasons. First, the party will be a perfect place for you to talk business with Montgomery Money about his intentions on
investing in the saloon if your bank gains control of it. Second, you plan to figure out which one of the poker players may
have robbed your bank and you plan to bring them to justice! And lastly, by the end of the night, you will know whether
Harry will have enough money to pay off his debt to you or if the saloon will be yours!

Acting and Dressing Your Part: As the bank owner of Deadwood, you are a businessman first. Your bank
and your money come before everything, including your wife Bonnie. Since you will be using the party to for business
matters, you will want to dress dignified for the night. Consistent with the times, you may consider a button down shirt,
vest, ascot and hat (bowler, derby, slouch, gambler or other). Popular of the time period, you may also consider adding in
facial hair. For more ideas on how to dress and a glossary of wild western words and phrases to use at the party, please see
