 Guest List
IVANNA KATENKA
Airport Security Agent
Originally hailing from Russia, Ivanna Katenka is the ultra-mysterious airport security agent. Far from a femme
fatale, she is feared by most and has a severe problem with anger management. She lives next door to Gretchen Audigger.

GRETCHEN AUDIGGER
Pampered Fiancé
Gretchen Audigger is a former barista from the tiny town of Gladerock. After meeting her wealthy fiancé two years ago,
she’s become a glamorous, pampered princess. Her old sugary-sweet disposition has recently melted into a despicable,
uncaring persona. Nevertheless, Gretchen is anything but boring.

INGA FEDEROV
Personal Trainer
Originally hailing from Eastern Europe, Inga Federov is the town of Gladerock’s personal trainer and fitness guru. If
you need advice on exercise, diet, or overall fitness - she’s your girl! Just don’t let her fake personality bother you, as she
does have overall good intentions.

DR. INDY JONAS

Ancient History Professor
Dr. Indy Jonas is the arrogant, exaggerating ancient history professor at Gladerock College. Dr. Jonas can win you
over with Australian charm, but don’t be fooled; Dr. Jonas cares about one thing and one thing only - Dr. Jonas.

MICHA ANGELO
Artist
The Italian heart-breaker, Micha Angelo, is the charismatic, eccentric painter. Micha sometimes sings instead of
speaks and attributes the outbursts of song to an impulse of creativity from an inner artist.

BILLIE BENJAMINS
Fundraising Consultant
This French Canadian recently moved to the tiny town of Gladerock. Nobody truly knows Billie Benjamin’s
intentions, but Billie’s supposedly a professional fund raiser from a big city. Some of the locals believe Billie’s hiding
something.

POINDEX BOINKERTON
Computer Programmer
Details, details, details! If you’re speaking to Poindex Boinkerton, you better get ready for a plethora of intricate fine points
and facts! This is one over-explaining member of the Nerd Herd - a computer support team in Gladerock that’s always ready
to travel to your home to remedy your technological ailments!

DORIE LAXX
Day Spa Owner
Originally hailing from the UK, Dorie Laxx traveled to America to implement her dream of owning a luxurious day spa. She’s
a tad snooty, and a bit of a one-upper, but this relaxation queen knows how to make her customers feel like royalty!

PRELIMINARY FORENSIC REPORT

Examiner: Dr. Randy Biffith

Request: Examine the wine glass for fingerprints and perform a toxicology analysis on the victim’s blood and the glass
contents. Examine the body for injuries and alternative causes of death.
Requested By: Ivanna Katenka

Results: The glass was examined, and I lifted four latent fingerprints, hereby called A-D.
Fingerprint A is a match to Ivanna Katenka.
Fingerprint B is a match to Gretchen Audigger.
Fingerprint C is a match to Inga Federov.
Fingerprint D is a match to Micha Angelo.

Ivanna -
I will have an official report in 24 hours detailing the time of death and exact cause once I
perform a full autopsy. For now, I am 99.99% certain the cause of death was poison.
There were slight lacerations on the front of the victim’s neck, but these were superficial
wounds, and not the cause of death.
The preliminary toxicology analysis of the victim’s blood and residue in the glass showed to
contain a lethal concentration of Burgasovoxiside-0928H. This compound, a rare Russian chemical
warfare agent from the WWII era, was found in the residue in the glass and in the victim’s blood – so
the glass was the source of the poison. I can’t believe the victim was even able to drink that wine - it
must have tasted just awful! Well, I guess if any wine can mask the taste of an abnormal amount of
Russian biowarfare toxins, it would be cheap Chianti. It’s not my favorite - unless I have a healthy
serving of fava beans, that is, as that helps to drown the taste of cheap Chianti.
Nonetheless, this chemical is a fast-acting neurotoxin. The victim most likely died within 10
minutes after consumption. With that said, it is unfortunate this poisoning happened at the party, so
you are all suspects. I can hold off the official police investigation for about another 10 minutes, so
you guys need to figure out whodunit, or you are all going to be involved in a lengthy murder
investigation!

Sincerely,

Dr. Randy Bif ith

 WINE-ICTIONARY
TERM DEFINED

ACIDITY Tart or harsh sour taste - as the acidity gets higher, the stronger the tart/sour taste (Acrid
is an overly acidic wine). An excess is an undesirable characteristic
AROMA The simple fruity odor of the grape variety such as apple-y, raisin-y, fresh, floral,
woody, earthy, etc. The younger the wine, the more it shows its variety aroma. Matured
wines form into a bouquet
ASSERTIVE Forward tasting, upfront
ATTRACTIVE Light and easy to drink

BALANCED The fruit, acid and wood flavors are in the correct proportions. If a wine is unbalanced,
one of these is prevalent and may be acidic, flat or harsh
BITE A quantifiable degree of tannin or acidity. Typically only tolerated in a full-bodied wine
BITTER Not a good quality if the bitterness dominates the flavor or finish. Typically, due to
tannins, chemical salts, bacteria, etc. Bitter flavor can contribute to the balance, but an
overly bitter flavor is a fault in the wine
BODY; Perception of texture or viscosity of the wine in the mouth - light (watery), medium and
BODIED full-bodied (rich, complex)
BOUQUET Describes the complex odor of the matured wine in the bottle that is developed through
the fermentation process
BUTTERY Term for both the flavor and texture of the wine - like melted butter. This term is most
used to describe Chardonnay. This term can also be used to refer to color
CHARACTER A wine with distinctive, first-rate distinguishable qualities. As opposed to ‘dull’

CORKED; The wine has an unpleasant and moldy card-board cork odor and will taste flat - often
CORKY caused by a faulty cork
DEPTH The complexity and concentration of the flavors in a wine (opposite of shallow)

manner by adding complexity to the aroma and flavor. When used in a negative manner,
it means the wine tastes barn-yardy and nearly dirty
FINISH The taste and texture remaining in the mouth after swallowing. A longer finish denotes
better quality
FLABBY Lacking acidity, heavy on the palate. Not a lot of flavor

FLAT Still wine: low acidity, dull flavor. Sparkling wine: has lost its effervescence

FLINTY Describes a Riesling, Chablis and Sauvignon Blancs and is characteristic of the odor of
flint striking steel. The odor comes from grapes grown in specific regions having certain
types of soil
FRUITY A term referring to the body and richness and smell of fresh fruit - i.e., apples,
blackberries, cherries, raspberries. Sometimes refers to cooked fruit
HEADY Describes a wine that has a high alcohol concentration

Copyright © MyMysteryParty.com Page 20

 LEGS The viscous rivulets that form and ease down the sides of a wine glass as it is swirled.
This indicates the body present in the wine. Wider legs are referred to as ‘sheets’
LENGTH The amount of time, measured in seconds, the sensations of the flavor persist in the
mouth and the bouquet persists after swallowing. The longer the length, the finer the
wine
MURKY Lacking clarity- turbid, swampy

ROBUST Big and full bodied, intense and powerful taste and aroma with a lot of fruit in the taste.
This term is used more with red wines
SEDUCTIVE An appealing wine

SHORT A wine that does not remain on the palate after swallowing. Common in inexpensive
wine
SMOKY Subtle smoked-wood character in the flavor. Typically from the barrel fermenting/aging
or can be from the soil in certain regions

pepper, cloves - often present in complex wines. This comes from either the grapes or
the barrels during the aging process
