Great for a younger audience - This Potty Harry Potter themed murder mystery involves a Wizard detective-like audience and one or two super nutty natural facilitators / guides who run the interactive part the night; adding to the fun and intrigue.
The Harry Potter Mystery provides a unique way to have a fun birthday party with kids, friends and family!
Working in teams; the game players must solve the Murder by sleuthing various clues earnt during the event that will unveil the who, why and when surrounding this unfortunate spell of death.
The Story: Set in Hogwarts Scotland; sadly our beloved Harry Potter has died, presumed murdered. But who would commit such a heinous crime?
All the guests are suspects but there is only one true murderer.
It turns out that jealousy over Harry's Quidditch abilities is a major motivator for the crime. Death by Basilisk venom was the ultimate cause of death, but who delivered the venom? The story has many twists and turns. Harry, hated for his skills but truly loved by one, has become a victim of revenge. Was it someone from Slytherin? Gryffindor? Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff? This story has jealousy, revenge, a baby, magic and murder. One this is for sure. Harry Potter is dead and you won't believe who killed him.
This is suitable for a 13+ audience.
