Party Booklet

Copyright © 2019 Maple Mystery Games Scarlet 1

Yo! It’s back in the day of the Naughty Nineties when

dudes were fly and dope and – hip-hoppie-hip-hop! –

those stylin’ chicas were phat and da bomb.

If those aristocratic Worthalot-Worthies expect you to

bow and curtsey with a Yes My Lady and a No My Lord,

then they can Talk to the Hand. Kiss My Butt. Whatever.

Open up a can on some dude – or take a chill pill; the

choice is yours. Just defend your innocence and be

prepared to dip, bounce and roll if your secrets are

found out …

Scarlet Mopper

Introduction

was killed by a hit-and-run-driver

after leaving a charity dinner-dance

• There will be 6 rounds with different sections in each. Sections are shown by the shaded lines.

Say:

Allow ALL PLAYERS shown in the left column of a section to speak before starting the next section. (In this section, Player 1, Player 2, Player 3 and Player 1 should all speak before starting the next section.) New sections are usually indicated when speaker says “Moving on to the xyz section”.

Each PLAYER Chooses Scripted or Non-Scripted

Player 1

Say:

• Moving on to the Each Player Chooses section, information that your character MUST say is given in bold opposite your name. (For example, this dialogue is for Player 1.) Feel free to use your own words. Optional, non-essential dialogue suggestions are non-bold and are for those who finds ad-libs difficult.

Player 5 Player 8 Player 6 Player 3

• EACH PLAYER chooses whether to: read their part as a script OR use their own words, embellish and ad-lib as much as they please so long as the information in bold is given! Ad-libs make the game more fun and are encouraged.

Instructions To Be Read Aloud


Essential and Optional Speakers

Player 1

Say:

• ESSENTIAL speakers (dialogue suggestions IN BOLD)

are shown in the left column IN ORDER.

Player 5 Player 8 Player 6 Player 3

Optionally chime in:

• OPTIONAL speakers (suspects and non-suspects) have NON-BOLD dialogue suggestions. They are NOT SHOWN in the left column and can speak or not as they choose and can chime in whenever they wish.

Your prompt cards may not tell you how to react to optional speakers – if in doubt, deny everything!

Player 1

Say:

• Once optional speaker(s), have spoken, the next essential speaker continues in order.

Most Important Points

Player 1

Say:

• Moving on to the Most Important Points section:

Allow ALL PLAYERS shown in the left column of a section to speak before starting the next section.

Give all information in bold – but use your own words and ad-lib as you please.

If in doubt – deny everything and enjoy the game!

Another Option for Optional Speakers

Player 4 Player 2 Player 6

Optionally chime in:

• We recommend that optional speakers can chime in as and when they wish as this makes parties more fun and interactive. Some parties, however, may prefer to limit optional speakers to speaking at the end of each section, maybe even asking if anyone else has anything to say. In this case, optional speakers may need to adapt their dialogue slightly.

Round 1: Motives


Introductions

Beatrice, Junior

Intros

Introduce yourself when it is your turn:

• Hey dudes, I’m Scarlet Mopper, the daughter of Mel Mopper. I’m a waitress at Little Worthalot Hotel but I’m gonna be a singer, a world-famous singer. I’m gonna be an absolute MEGA star. You heard this hit here first. (Optionally sing / rap / ham-up): “Scarlet time is phat time, dope time, fun time. Repeat after me – Scarlet time. Fly, fly, fly! Scarlet time is phat time, dope time, fun time. Repeat after me – Scarlet time. Fly, fly, fly!”

Claire Voyantte

Beatrice Justin

Scarlet Reply to Justin:

• Junior has given me an extract from The BooYah Gossip to read. I do so love The BooYah Gossip – they’re RAD! They’re gonna cover me one day! When I’m a world-famous singer, a MEGA star and everyone knows my name. (Flick your hair.) BooYah!

Rev. Honestly & Goldie Honeykins

Kit, Beatrice, Fred Beatrice, Justin Rev Honestly Goldie

Scarlet When Goldie denies running a cult:

• Reverend Honestly and Goldie CLAIM they’re not stealing from their charity, but when I delivered a letter to the Foundation, I was amazed at how expensive and stylin’ it all was. And those cruises and five-star hotel holidays they have, too. Where does that money come from, dudes?

Rev Honestly

Thomas Trustme, Wind Farm & Sally Noopy

Claire, Thomas, Mel Thomas

Scarlet When Thomas says phone call nothing to do with him:

• I don’t like saying this about such a stylin’ dude, but I read in The BooYah Gossip that the Worthy International Energy Consortium have said that the local MP backs the wind farm. And our local MP is you, Mr Trustme.

Thomas, Junior Mel, Thomas

Scarlet When Thomas denies killing Sally, say to Mel (Mun/Dad):

• Mum / Dad, I keep trying to tell you. Tommie here is totally RAD, he’s da bombe. I’m sure he had nothing to do with Sally’s death. Maybe she just fell in front of that tube? Maybe her investigations into Tommie had nothing to do with her death? I do so like stylin’ dudes!

Mel, Junior

Available upon purchase

Round 3: Motives


Lady Beatrice, Justin Good, Mel & Scarlet Mopper

Karisma, Kit, Justin Beatrice, Junior

Scarlet When Junior asks if you are a call girl:

• Duh! Of course, I’m a call girl, dude, and a hella dope one at that – as THREE dudes in this room have cause to know! I’m a call girl now, but I’m gonna be a famous singer real soon, (look at Mel) hey Mum/Dad?

Mel

Scarlet When Mel asks if Kit organised call girl ring:

• Duh! Yeah, Kit is the organiser. Kit’s the one who tells me which dudes want my services – apparently, I’ve got a waiting list now I’m so popular!

Goldie, Mel

Scarlet When Mel says William threatened to fire & evict:

• But that doesn’t mean that we killed William! As if! I told Mum / Dad to take a chill pill, that I was sure I could persuade William not to evict us! – (with a smirk and a flick of your hair) – I’m hella good at persuasion!

Round 4: Opportunities


Junior on Surveillance

Beatrice, Junior Mel, Junior Goldie, Junior

Karisma Leaves Hotel Dinner Dance in William’s Car at 10.14pm

Karisma, Fred Karisma

Scarlet When Karisma tells Fred she went home and cried and cried:

• Karisma, you SAY that you went straight home and cried for William. As if! Earlier on, Junior told me that the staff at Little Worthalot Garage remember you going into the garage about 10.25pm, 10.30pm, something like that. That means you would have been driving in the area where William was killed at about the time he was killed, wouldn’t you Karisma?

Karisma, Justin Karisma, Junior

Who Slashed Thomas Trustme’s Tyre BEFORE William Left at 10.20pm?

Goldie, Rev Honestly Thomas, Claire Beatrice, Claire Thomas

Scarlet When Thomas says he went to his room to sleep:

• Tommie dude – you weren’t alone and you weren’t boring when you were with me the other night! I remember our dope time together. (Flick hair & smirk.) But being a buzzkill and sleeping alone on the night William was killed means YOU could have punctured your tyre then driven after William in the hotel car. Maybe – as Claire says – that’s why you let him borrow your car? You really have no alibi!

Thomas, Kit Mel, Junior




Who Damaged the Hotel Car?

Claire, Kit, Karisma Kit, Beatrice Rev Honestly Goldie, Beatrice Fred

Scarlet When Fred says he saw you in reception:

• I can’t speak for your cows or your chickens Freddie, but I wasn’t tired and I didn’t sleep – as a certain Baron will no doubt testify. You know you’re popular when barons and lords of the realm request their “Scarlet time”. Junior, I trust you did follow up on my alibi?

Junior

Scarlet When Junior says the Baron confirms you were with him:

• You’re da bombe, Junior. I thought he’d remember me! BooYah! Everyone remembers their “Scarlet time”. Sing / rap / ham-up: “Scarlet time is phat time, dope time, fun time. Repeat after me – Scarlet time. Fly, fly, fly!” So, that leaves someone who’s not been truthful. Justin Good, when I was on my way to see the RAD Baron, I saw you furtively – very furtively – take the keys for the hotel car from the hook next to reception!

Justin Good Leaves Hotel Dinner Dance at 10.25pm

Justin, Beatrice, Justin Kit, Justin, Rev Honestly Justin, Thomas

Mel Mopper Leaves Cock and Bull Pub

Mel, Karisma, Mel Junior, Mel, Fred Thomas, Mel Junior




Rev Honestly & Goldie Honeykins Crash with Fred

Beatrice, Rev Honestly Mel, Rev Honestly Goldie, Fred, Thomas, Fred Kit, Fred Goldie, Justin Rev Honestly

Claire Voyantte Finds William’s Body at 10.40pm

Karisma, Claire Beatrice, Claire Junior Justin Mel

Scarlet When Mel says Thomas is guilty because of cigar:

• Tommie, dude – if you’d got jiggy with me again, rather than going all buzzkill, then you’d have had an alibi. As it was, you SAY you were alone in your bedroom but your cigar was found next to William’s body.

Thomas, Fred Claire, Karisma

Summary of Opportunities

Junior

Scarlet Reply to Junior:

• First question – did Justin Good really leave the hotel to visit his sick cat? Did a crazy driver in a small blue car really make him crash the car on Hang Man’s Straight – or did he run over William and then deliberately crash into a tree to cover the dent?

Karisma, Justin Kit, Mel, Thomas Junior, Kit Beatrice

Whodunnit


Junior, Beatrice

Plead When Junior asks how you plead:

• Junior, dude – how can you even ask me that? I had no need to kill William – I could easily have persuaded him not to evict us or sack us! (Smile and flick your hair.) Besides, I’m not gonna be a waitress forever. Soon the whole world’s gonna know about Scarlet Time! Optionally sing / rap / ham-up: “Scarlet time is phat time, dope time, fun time. Repeat after me – Scarlet time. Fly, fly, fly! Scarlet time is phat time, dope time, fun time. Repeat after me – Scarlet time. Fly, fly, fly!”
