Death by Chocolate


I had a murder mystery in my house over the weekend. It was called "Death by Chocolate and was for 8 players: myself and Hugh, Jennifer and Pierce, Catherine and David and Ian and Nathalia.

The story goes like this: It is Paris, 1900. The World Fair and Olympics are both going on and a famous chocolatier, Billy Bonka has invented a new enourmous easter egg which defies the structural laws of easter eggs. Unfortunately, Billy has been murdered in his hotel room, killed by a bomb concealed in an easter egg. 8 other guests at the hotel (us) sit down to dinner knowing that one among us is the murderer. Throughout the course of the meal, with the assistance of Inspector McClue (dvd cheese) and various exibits given to the guests, the murder must be solved.

It was great fun and everyone played well into their Character. The first picture there is of Jennifer as an eccentric archaeologist and David as a skitsophrenic ventriloquist with his puppet, Ziggy. The next picture is of Catherine, a scandellous artist and Hugh as Mike Bison, famous american boxer.
