Synopsis (This outlines the flow of the party events).

“HOLLY O. WENE’S HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION” (Ages 6-10, 5-10+ Guest Electronic Version).

Holly O. Wene was famous for her wonderful Halloween celebrations. Each year, everyone

hoped to see the invitation arrive in their mailbox! As usual, the ‘who’s who’ of the town arrived on the scene in their most fabulous attire ready to have a blast with some fun party games and some delicious

food. Everyone was surprised when the most infamous pumpkin patch owner, Mrs. Polly Pumpkin, arrived to the party to make a special announcement to the guests. The Polly Pumpkin’s Pumpkin

Patch was the most awesome pumpkin patch in the whole world and Polly Pumpkin announced that she was ready to retire and travel the world! She was searching for just the right person to take over her special pumpkin patch so she challenged the party guests to solve her five mysteries before she

would allow them to compete for the rights to her pumpkin patch. So, the guests accepted the challenge! They filtered through the clues to the five mysteries while taking breaks to have fun with

some exciting party games such as the Creative Pumpkin Challenge, Crazy Cracker Smasher, Eyeball Hunters, and the Who Can Make the Witches Brew challenge. Then, Mrs. Polly revealed that she had

an exciting scavenger hunt in store for the guests that would uncover additional clues to the five mysteries. After the guests found the clues, they settled in for a delicious dinner while they discussed

the five mysteries. They took another break to play the fun Halloween ‘Feel’ Game – Can you Stand It, and the hilarious What Halloween Thing Am I game. When the guests thought they had the mysteries

solved, they turned in their best guesses to Mrs. Polly Pumpkin and she was thrilled! She was so happy that the guests had proven that they had true Halloween spirit that she allowed them to compete in a final challenge for the rights to the Polly Pumpkin’s Pumpkin Patch! After a winner was declared following an intense scavenger hunt challenge for the most pumpkins, the guests had a blast with the Amazing Charade Challenge while they enjoyed a warm cup of hot cocoa and a delectable dessert!

Overall, it was Holly O. Wene’s most successful Halloween Celebration!

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE HOST

Thank you for purchasing the HOLLY O. WENE’S HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION game from mymysteryparty.com! This mystery is a light-hearted and entertaining mystery that allows the children to step into a different character while trying to solve the entertaining mysteries. The party can be a huge success as long as the guests relax and let the mystery unravel during each round.

The party pack (this document) needs to be printed in advance of the party. Cut out the clues and slip them into envelopes labeled with the appropriate round and character for each round of the party. It is optimal to choose different colored envelopes for each round. You will also have to prepare scavenger hunt clues and hide them in the designated places prior to the party for the scavenger hunt at the conclusion of Round One and also for the finale scavenger hunt which is set by the boundaries you decide upon (i.e. living room area, whole house, backyard, street or neighborhood, etc.). A prize for the finale scavenger hunt is optional.

THE ROUNDS ARE DESIGNED AS FOLLOWS:

PRE-GAME: these pre-game starters are to be delivered to each guest before the party or give them to the guests as they arrive. All pre-game starters are optional and do not alter the mystery, and are intended to enhance the pre-game build up for the event. These clues are not vital to solving the mystery and will appear as an invitation ‘reminder’ to the characters playing the game.

ROUND ONE: Serve small snacks. Make sure the ‘Guest Instructions’ and the ‘List of Characters’ are available for your guests to read when they arrive. You can also take the time to review these materials with your guests before starting the game. You can either deliver these clues as your guests arrive or you can wait until all guests have arrived and after reading the instructions and answering any questions that arise, you can pass out the envelopes for round one to all of the guests at once. This round will end with an exciting scavenger hunt for more clues to the mysteries.

ROUND TWO: The round two clues will be ‘found’ during the hunt at the end of Round one. Allow the guests to open these while you serve a light dinner. At this time, the guests can discuss the 5 mysteries. FINAL SOLUTION / ROUND THREE: Cake and hot chocolate should be served during this round as the guests read their final solutions. Hide the pumpkin cut outs in any area that you designate for the finale scavenger hunt. Be sure to tell your guests their boundaries before the hunt. Depending on their age will depend on how challenging you should hide the pumpkins.

During the party, you will You will be asked to submit your best guesses of the 5 mysteries at the end of Round Two. From this point forward, you are to remain in character until the mysteries are solved. If you are playing a ‘green alien from Mars’, then that is who you are until the end! Feel free to play your role however you feel comfortable. Embellish your character’s personality if you would like. However, if you are feeling shy, you can just listen in on others’ conversations to get your information. Not everyone needs to or should have the spotlight! Have fun!
