A quintessentially English murder mystery…
Welcome to Heathcliff Manor, where Lord Heathcliff is hosting a dinner party in honour of his new bride.
All the usual suspects are here – the maid, the professor, the butler – as well as some more unusual ones. But before anyone can toast his happiness, Heathcliff is bludgeoned with a candlestick in the pool room!
Whodunit? Invite your friends and family to solve this classic mystery where everyone’s a suspect!
– for 6-14 players (minimum 6)
– optional audio evidence
– takes 2-3 hours to play
Easy to host, easy to play
Play around a table with a three-course meal, or simply mingle with drinks and nibbles. Light some candles and put on some classical music to instantly turn your home into an elegant country manor!
Each suspect has their own scripted dialogue with carefully crafted clues to help you solve the murder, but watch out: the murderer will try to cover their tracks. Fortunately, there’s plenty of evidence to guide you through the investigation, exposing every hidden motive and suspicious circumstance along the way!
A classically funny murder mystery
Murder at the Manor is set in a traditional country manor, but this is no boring affair. With deadly puns, cheeky innuendo and witty alibis, you’ll serve up an evening filled with laughter and memories.
Atmospheric audio evidence
Set the scene with our professionally narrated audio evidence, with shocking revelations in every act.
Prefer to narrate it yourself? No problem – you can refer to the transcript in the host guide at any time.
Fully flexible
Play using ANY of the 14 suspects and choose any mix of male and female characters. Anyone can be the murderer!
Extra guests can join in the fun as detectives – just let them ask the questions instead of suspects questioning each other.
Just add friends!
