Script brake. 7 (clue)

The world-famous escape master and knife-flying master, the cunning Sid, died very unexpectedly. He was suspended upside down in a glass jar filled with water (he was tied with a leather rope and wearing bound clothes), which was very wrong. Although the police still have some investigation work to do, they suspect that some despicable tricks caused Sid's death.

Shortly after Sid's "Last Show", you and your guests, both members of the Borg Circus, gathered in the caravan of Roger Borg, the head of the group, to discuss this tragic event and make a decision on the property of the circus. The police will appear at any moment and will find out the murderer from the main suspects who are all gathered together. Be prepared to try to find out the hidden truth and find out the murderer as the night goes on.

1. Preparation

In order to fully enjoy the process of this murder mystery, you should make preparations in advance. You need to be familiar with the methods of the game, decide who to invite, and match their roles as suspects in the game. Everyone has their "Character Script" as a murder suspect, which describes the specific content of his role. Don't forget, you are also one of the players.

once you have selected a player, you should send them a background introduction in advance. Players have a basic understanding of the game, which will be smoother and experience the fun of the game! Of course, if you have confidence in your friends, you can also send them on the spot that day. But you should reserve more time for them to get familiar with the background of the game.) The game lasts about 3-4 hours. I hope you can enjoy it.

Second, clothing suggestions

Choosing appropriate clothing and props will help you get into the role, which is an important part of enjoying the mystery of murder and can bring you great fun. So try to encourage everyone to wear appropriate clothes to play the game, and adopt some language that conforms to the characteristics of the characters (which is introduced in the script) to communicate, so that friends can give full play to their performance skills!

Here are some suggestions for costumes and props for reference only:

Colonel Roger: black dress, cloak, magician's top hat, white gloves

Swing and Benny: ventriloquism hand puppet, black dress, white gloves

Gert: fitness belt or dumbbell

Lysa: lace headdress, silk gloves, tights

Wanda:. This game is full of fun without costumes and props!

Third, decorate the scene

Try to decorate the room to feel like a circus caravan-to create a suitable atmosphere, try to use curtains, posters and soft lighting.

IV. Opening Reading

"To solve this mystery, we must first establish the view that everyone here is a criminal suspect, and then we will investigate each suspect's criminal motive and look for loopholes in their lies."

"In order to make all participants play the game equally, the People's Script doesn't say who is the murderer. Therefore, you can doubt anything that other players tell you. "

"The Character Script is divided into several parts, and the contents marked in italics and brackets may be sensitive facts that make you suspect! When someone asks you a question about sensitive facts, you can try to answer vaguely and evasively, but you must never lie about the facts stated in your People's Script! Obviously, the information provided in the murderer's own "Character Script" can't be absolutely true! We started by introducing each other's roles, and at the same time learned a little bit about the' dark truth', which was full of lies under the calm surface. "

The investigation was led by Inspector Ivor Northam and Officer Hughes Dunnett.

Play 1

"Now, please introduce yourself to other players using the information in People's Script. Read the chapter' Dark Facts' after the introduction, but from now on, try to keep what you read confidential and don't let other players know. "

before inviting your friends to play, make sure everyone knows what role they play with other players. Everyone should hide his "dark facts", hoping not to arouse the suspicion of the police, and unfortunately find that the murderer is among everyone.

Play 2 will be started after the opening part.

"Starting with Roger, we can now watch the' murder' chapter in People's Script. See the part before play 3. Then freely discuss the murder case, ask each other questions, and establish an alibi for each player during Sid's performance. "

"When discussing and questioning, please use the content given in" People's Script "and pay attention to the tone of your role. Nothing can reduce the fun of the game more than reading the script stiffly. Of course, you don't have to talk exactly according to the script, you can extract the key points yourself after digesting and understanding the content in the script. But be careful not to miss the information given in the script. You must disclose all the information given in the script to other players in this round. "

Repeat the second part of the play, and start the third part, the fourth part and the fifth part in turn.

"Now you can look at the contents of the chapter" Before Performance "in People's Script and discuss all kinds of" motivations ". After that, continue to read and discuss the contents of the chapter' Strange Events in Play 5&End'. "

Now let's start the play 5

Officer Hughes Dunnett made his own summary

Now that you have all the information needed to solve this terrible case, at the end of the character script, you will find a summary of the main points, which covers the personal perspective of each character around this murder case.

You and your friends can now set up your own theory about this murder case and have a group discussion. Each character will provide some fragments of information that they may have forgotten to provide before. You will soon put forward a reasonable reasoning about the case.

Let each player write down who (they) he thinks should be responsible for this case, how he (they) did it, and what's the motivation. When this is done, everyone forms a circle and makes accusations together.

We will reveal the truth of the case in Play 6. Before that, we can discuss and see if we can reach an agreement on "who hides the most despicable behavior".

Play 1

Opening the door, "Hello, everyone! Ah, it seems that everyone is here, very good, all the main suspects are gathered together, which can save us a lot of time. " (Ivo)

The door opens, "Hey, Inspector, are you all in there?" (Hughes)

"Officer, you can't just define us as suspects, can you?" (Roger)

"Ah, interesting idea, let's hear what the rest of you have to say. Now, where was I? Ah, by the way, I think you all know why I'm here? We're here to investigate the death of sly Sid during the performance. I don't think you will feel sorry for his death, but it doesn't matter. It is our duty to investigate this matter. Officer Hughes seems to think that there is something fishy in this incident. Am I right? " (Ivo)

"Well, yes, well, I think ..." (Hughes)

"I want to solve this case, and I want to solve it as soon as possible! Now, let's use our brains together and see if we can come up with something useful. Ok, before I forget, I have to introduce myself. As you may have heard, inspector Ivor Northam in the bedroom, this is my assistant, officer Hughes Dunnett. This is his first time to investigate a murder case, so you must never let him down, right? Now, Hughes, where do you want to start? " (Ivor)

"Well, I think, well, they, well, should ..." (Hughes)

Interrupted Hughes "Oh, cheer up, we don't have all night here. I have a feeling that some very cunning plots have taken place here, right? I understand that the Borg Circus has been in trouble recently. Your last performances today are all run by six suspects. Am I right? Hughes told me that Sid was also involved in the final performance. At that time, Sid was wearing a straitjacket that was chained, and his head and feet sank in a glass jar filled with water to perform escape. Is that right? Hughes? " (Ivor)

Interrupt Hughes. "OK, now it's time for you to tell us some clues, right, Hughes?" (Ivor)

"Well, that's right, well, why don't you all tell me who you are? What is it? Where were you at the time of the incident? " (Hughes)

Play 2

"Now, Hughes, I told you what is the key to solving such a murder case" (Iver)

"Keep things simple, set up the starter and the timing of the crime, sir" (Hughes)

"Very good, boy, you have grown up quickly. Now let's know where you were at the time of the murder. What do you see? What did you hear? Describe it in detail. Maybe you, Colonel Roger, would like to start. What do you say? " (Ivor)

Play 3

"Okay, Hughes, who did it?" (Ivor)

"Well, sir, well, I can't make a judgment yet. Well, let's put the testimony together and don't jump to conclusions easily. Ok, now what happened on the whole? " (Ivor)

"Very good, boy, don't jump to conclusions before putting all the clues and evidence together. Ok, now what happened on the whole? " (Ivor)

"Well, yes, sir. Well, with the help of Gert and Wanda, the cunning Sid put on the bondage suit, and then Lysa hung him from head to foot and sank him into the glass jar. About 1 minute later, the explosion happened. It should be that one of Anna's Lei Guang bombs was ignited and thrown onto the stage. Then the power went out and the whole place was dark! It took several minutes for the store to recover, because the main fuse in the fuse box was blown. Sid's death must have happened after the curtain was closed and before the glass jar was broken. During this time, I sorted out ... Ahem, Wanda and Gert are on the edge of the glass jar, and Lysa is on the crane shelf, which is just above the glass jar. Anna plays tambourine directly in front of the audience on the stage, and Swing controls the lamp at the main console on the left side of the stage. Colonel Roger walked to the center of the stage, then went to the main console to repair the fuse, and then returned to the center of the stage. " (Hughes)

"Very good, boy! All right, everyone, in the general investigation, all the clues that our police have investigated will be kept secret from you, but now I've decided to tell you if you can think of something more useful. Attention, ahem, Benny found a 6-centimeter-long wire under the main fuse box. The test results show that there is only one fingerprint on it, that is, Mr. Swing. Lysa gave us a jam jar, which she claimed was found in a broken glass jar, which may be what she saw Wanda throw into the glass jar during the performance. Further tests are still in progress, but we found three sets of fingerprints on the jam jar, besides Lisa's, Anna's and Wanda's. We also found some things in the broken glass and water on the jam jar, such as a cheap cigarette lighter, a pair of yellow rubber gloves used to clean the glass jar and a dead goldfish. There are some ... Well, what the investigators wrote here is' human bite marks'. OK, that's it. The cause of death of the deceased is still under investigation, but drowning and poisoning are the most likely so far. Now we need more background information. Let's talk about where you were and what you did before the performance. " (Ivor)

Play 4

"Well, Hughes, have you figured out who the murderer is?" (Ivor)

"No, uh, sir, uh, I already have a suspect, but let me sort out the clue numbers first, sir?" (Hughes)

"No problem." (Hughes)

"Well, it seems that Sid's caravan is an important place before the performance. First Lysa went, and then left with Sid. Then Swing went in and left with Benny. Then Roger went and left. Sid should have come back after that. Then Gert went and left. Then Wanda went, and Lysa went again when Wanda was still inside, and then Wanda came out, and finally Sid and Lysa left together. " (Hughes)

"Oh, boy, what you said makes me dizzy. They keep going in and out, going in and out. You must have a purpose! Now I want to hear the motives. You all talk about your motives of doubting others. "

Play 5

"All right, Hughes, it seems that we have collected enough clues. Before giving them a chance to testify, let's sum up the motive. Then they can solve the case themselves and tell us who did this dirty case. " (Ivor)

"Yes, sir. Well, let me see, well, Colonel Roger may kill someone because he is in financial crisis. Recently, the government legislated to prohibit the circus from using animals to perform, which made the circus encounter great difficulties. At the same time, Sid is stealing the performance fee of the circus, and he wants to take over the whole circus. One of his measures to seize power is to print posters that only promote himself. Now Wanda is jealous that Sid has moved on and fallen in love with Lysa. Wanda has always been Sid's lover. She has a crush on Sid and is pregnant with Sid's child. But when she told me
