SYNOPSIS (THIS OUTLINES THE FLOW OF THE PARTY EVENTS).

It was Easter and per tradition, the Wabbit family gathered at the home of Brare and Peter Wabbit’s home in the beautiful town of Springville. They started the festivities with delectable appetizers and quizzed each other over fun candy trivia questions followed by a hilarious Hunt for the Golden Egg

Challenge and then competed with a feisty game of Easter Golf. Some of the members in the family had rather strong or eccentric personalities so Brare Wabbit did everything possible to keep everyone harmonious…that is, until it was discovered that someone vandalized the prize chocolate bunny! By Wabbit tradition, a chocolate bunny was the grand prize for the Wabbit Family Easter Egg Hunt each

year. With the grand prize damaged…could the hunt even go on? But everyone agreed that they should investigate and find out who the guilty one was, so the investigation commenced! Luckily, Brare had a friend at the local police department who was able to quickly collect some forensic evidence for the family to consider in their investigation of whodunit. To break the stress of the

investigation, the family took a break with the What Easter Thing am I game and the Hoppin’ Easter Bunny Relay Game. Then over a delectable dessert and hot coffee, the family took turns accusing who they believed the chocolate vandal was and then to everyone’s shock…the vandal confessed!

The family got the Easter Celebration back on track with awesome games such as Easter Charades, Capture the Eggs - Scavenger Hunt Challenge, and Top Chef - Easter Style before the final Easter

Egg Hunt for the grand prize chocolate bunny. Overall it was an Easter to remember!

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE HOST

Get ready for an adorable Easter-themed party with your purchase of the Charming Chocolate Caper game from mymysteryparty.com! This party is an entertaining and comical mystery where the players act the roles of hilarious personalities while sleuthing the intriguing story line. This is an excellent choice for your next get together during Easter! 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. During the party, your job as the host is to ensure that the envelopes are given to the guests at the appropriate times and most of all – that you and your guest are having a blast!! Depending on the mystery, there might be a few props you will need to collect in advance and plant at certain places and times during the party. Make sure to read the host instructions for each round prior to the party to ensure that you have everything in place for the big day! Please note -the host instructions for each round do not disclose who the criminal or the victim is.

FULL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE PURCHASED

GAME ☺ PRE-GAME STARTER: 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 starters are not vital to solving the mystery. In this game, there are also pre-game tasks for the characters to perform. These pre-game tasks are optional and the omission of them does not alter the mystery in any way. You will need to fill in your guests’ contact information (email is typically the best method of contact) on the pre-game task sheets for each guest to be able to contact the characters listed on each of their task sheets (see below). APPETIZER HOUR: Deliver these clues as your guests arrive. DINNER HOUR: Deliver these clues while you serve dinner to your guests. DESSERT, COFFEE AND THE BIG REVEAL: Deliver these clues with coffee and dessert.

HELPFUL HINTS ON HOW TO PLAY A MYSTERY: GUEST INSTRUCTIONS

So you’ve been assigned a character and you’ve come to the party dressed in the most fabulous Easter costume and have been told to play your role. So now what?

The mystery is separated into 3 rounds. During the party, you will be handed an envelope that contains the clues necessary for your character for the round. The clues for all of the required characters provide everything that you need to solve the mystery. However, during the investigation segment of the game, you will need to ask the right questions and pay close attention to everyone’s clues to be able to get the whole picture of what has happened.


GAME ☺ . From this point forward, you are to remain in character until the mystery is solved. If you are playing a ‘green alien from Mars’, then that is who you are until the end! Undoubtedly, your host has cast you into a character that you are comfortable playing. There are some characters that are designed to be played more reserved than other characters that should be played more boisterous. Feel free to play your role however you feel comfortable. Embellish your character’s personality if you would like. However, if you are feeling more reserved tonight, you can opt to allow the other characters to approach you or you can simply listen in on others’ conversations to get your information.


OPTIONAL PRE-GAME ROUND DIRECTIONS FOR THE HOST: Before the party, encourage your guests to view this mystery on the www.mymysteryparty.com website or use the MY MYSTERY PARTY invitations as they have the character list included. This way, before the party, they can get familiar with the other characters that will be at the party. This optional pre-game round is to be implemented approximately one week before the party. Please note that this round is to generate pre-game excitement and is not necessary to solve the mystery. The ways to deliver

these starters are as follows:


GAME ☺ PRE GAME STARTERS: (The following starters can be emailed or need to be cut out and put into sealed envelopes and labeled with the appropriate character and round - and should be given along with the optional pre-game task sheets that follow.) These are not the invitations - these are for the already RSVP’d guests to build pre-game excitement about 1 week leading up to the party.

NOTE TO SELF: Don’t forget to get the house ready for the Easter celebration with the family - it’s around the corner!

It’s Easter time again and the family traditionally gathers at our home in the lovely town of Springville for a fun

day of Easter festivities! I’ve reminded everyone to come dressed in their most festive Easter attire - ready to compete with some fun

Easter games! SIGNED ME,

starter card


OPTIONAL PRE-GAME TASKS: The following tasks are completely optional and exclusion of them does not alter the mystery in any way. However, it does lead to pre-game build up and excitement! Cut the task strips out and slip them into the pre-game clue envelopes (with the above pre-game starters) and send about 1 week prior to the party. Be sure to fill in your guests’ preferred contact information on the task slips so they will be able to contact each other. The usual method of contact is via email.

CHARACTER- MRS. BRARE WABBIT OPTIONAL - for some pre-party fun, you can contact (email, phone, etc.) the following guests in the week leading up to the party: Contact the guest playing your husband, Peter Wabbit, and ask him if he’ll help you keep Granny Green (your mother) and your Uncle Sherlock apart during the Easter Celebration this year. Say that their bickering bothers everyone and you’d like a peaceful Easter party this time! (Contact info :________________________________________________________________) Contact the guest playing Billie Bonka and tell him/her to not bother creating a chocolate prize bunny for the Annual Wabbit Easter Egg Hunt because you already picked one up at the store. (Contact info :________________________________________________________________) Please note: either contacting the guests above or deciding to skip these tasks will not alter the mystery or anyone's ability to solve the mystery in anyway. However, contacting other guests will lead to excitement about the party and will encourage other guests to read about the other characters and be prepared for some completely mysterious fun!

appetizer HOUR - IT’S PARTY TIME! DIRECTIONS FOR THE HOST: Round one – appetizer hour begins as the guests arrive. Create a fun Easter ambiance with a festive party mix CD playing softly, Easter décor such as bunny cut outs, plastic eggs, etc. Blow up pastel-colored balloons and tape creative shapes cut out from construction (or other) paper to look like decorated / dyed Easter eggs! Cocktails for the adults (i.e. apple martinis, strawberry daiquiris etc.) and appetizers can be served and a round


GAME ☺ Purchase a chocolate Easter bunny, remove it from the box, and put it on display in your kitchen (if this party is in a home) or on any table in the party area that is out of the way of the main traffic. Make sure that it is hollow chocolate so you’ll be able to remove the ears quickly when you need to before round two! OPTIONAL BUT FUN: At the conclusion of this round, the ‘Golden Egg Scavenger Hunt’ game can be played. PROP LIST: These are props needed for this round. Collect these items in advance and have them ready.

COCKTAIL HOUR CLUES – CUT OUT, SLIP INTO ENVELOPES AND LABEL WITH THE APPROPRIATE ROUND AND CHARACTER

MRS. BRARE WABBIT– ROUND ONE USE THE FOLLOWING EASTER TRIVIA QUESTIONS AS AN ICE BREAKER

Question: What are the candy Pop Rocks made out of? Answer: a melted sugar mix and carbon dioxide gas (like in soda pop!) Question: How did they change the Mr. Goodbar candy bar in 1992? Answer: they added more peanuts!

CLUES TO REVEAL DURING THIS ROUND During this round, mingle with other guests to discuss the following information with whomever you choose: • Remember that you’re the prim and proper flower gardener and mother of two children. You are slightly

mysterious and a welcoming hostess - make sure everyone has what they need and that everyone gets along!

• Talk to a few people about your husband’s narcolepsy. Say that he worries you sometimes because he falls asleep at the most odd locations and times!

• Talk about how you have an appointment to go to a hypnotist to cure your chocolate addiction. Say that it is just not healthy for you to eat as much chocolate as you do!

• Talk about how you believe your neighbors are taking the flowers from your flower gardens! • Ask Granny Green to not try and get Uncle Sherlock back for putting iced tea in her shoes last Easter. Say that

enough is enough and sibling rivalry should end when you become adults! PERSONAL CLUES TO CONCEAL

• You are so addicted to chocolate; if you see it…all you can think about is eating it! You had to re-purchase the prize chocolate bunny for the Annual Wabbit Easter Egg Hunt seven times! You kept eating it!

• You don’t really care for Billie Bonka’s chocolate. You think it is too gourmet tasting - you prefer the commercial processed type of chocolate.

During the mystery, your character must be honest and not make up any potentially mystery-altering clues in addition to those provided to you. You do not, however, have to share the clues that you collect with other guests.

ROUND TWO - DINNER HOUR DIRECTIONS FOR THE HOST: This is the time to serve dinner (dinner is optional). Without being noticed, snap off the ears of the chocolate bunny in the kitchen (or on an out of the way table in the party area if this is not in a home) and hand to the character playing Billie Bonka when nobody is looking (Billie Bonka is the one who discovers the missing ears in the story line).

Pass out the envelopes for round two to the guests. Give them a minute to read their clue cards and then pass out the Mystery Investigation Sheets and tell the guests to mingle around with the other guests and

GAME ☺


ROUND TWO CLUES – CUT OUT, STUFF INTO LABELED ENVELOPES WITH THE APPROPRIATE CHARACTER AND ROUND. TO BEGIN ROUND TWO, PASS OUT THESE ENVELOPES TO THE GUESTS.

MRS. BRARE WABBIT - ROUND TWO OH NO! THE CHOCOLATE PRIZE BUNNY’S EARS ARE MISSING!

*Make the announcement to the group that the best way to handle this is to figure out whodunit immediately because you need to start the Annual Wabbit Easter Egg Hunt on time! Tell everyone to

start investigating the chocolate-y crime and figure out who the chocolate bunny vandal is - and quick!

CLUES to reveal & tasks to perform: Confront any kids at the party. They should be the first suspects on the list as they have the least self control

when it comes to Easter candy. See if any of them had strong motive to steal the chocolate ears and / or if they were around the kitchen lately.

Your husband looked pretty drowsy earlier and now he looks pretty chipper. Interesting! Grandpa Green seems to have stopped complaining about his hunger! Maybe it’s just the excitement of the

investigation that has made him suddenly forget about it. You used all of the vinegar that you had when you dyed Easter eggs with the kids earlier.

evidence:

You left the party room about 12 minutes before the chocolate Easter bunny was discovered as ‘vandalized.’ You went to the restroom and you passed Auntie Fox in the hallway - she must have just left the restroom.

You did stop by the kitchen for a snack and you did see the chocolate bunny and his ears looked just fine to you. You had thoughts of eating it.

You know that Farmer Green hasn’t been in the party room the entire party. Your fingerprints will obviously be on the chocolate bunny because you are the one who removed it from the box and put it on

display. The guilty party’s fingerprints would also be on the chocolate for certain if they removed the ears from the bunny! And, nobody

was wearing gloves…not in April! You might be a serious suspect if your prints are the only ones on the chocolate!

Each character will have a clue card in round two

MRS. BRARE WABBIT– FINAL SOLUTION ROUND THREE – READ FIRST This is the final solution round. Every guest at this party will now tell their story to the group - in a specific order dictated by

this final solution clue card - and the criminal will now confess.

Say the following to the group: “I ADMIT IT! I am a chocoholic! I can’t say no to chocolate. If it’s around me, all I can do is think about how quickly I want

to eat it! But I have an appointment with a hypnotist and I have plans on overcoming this problem! This year, I have eaten the chocolate bunny prizes…over and over - but I would never have just eaten the ears off of the bunny! I’d have

eaten the whole thing in about 3 minutes! That should have been your first clue that it couldn’t have been me! Billie Bonka, I’m so sorry. The reason I didn’t want you to make the chocolate prize bunny is because I needed an excuse

to purchase chocolate bunnies before Easter - it really has nothing to do with the fact that I don’t really care for your gourmet chocolate. The mass-produced hollow chocolate bunnies are my favorite! They’re so much better than candy bars. But my family would never have allowed me to buy and eat them before Easter! So, I used it as an excuse. With that said…I hereby grant you the right to make the prize bunnies from this time forward! And for goodness’ sake - don’t

deliver the chocolate prize bunny over here before the party!” MR. PETER WABBIT IS NEXT TO READ HIS SOLUTION TO THE GROUP
