November 8, 2006 18:52 - Gobble, Gobble, Death and TroubleMysteries on the Net have jsut released a new Thanksgiving murder mystery game - Gobble, Gobble, Death and Trouble.
Here's the background:
He was world-renowned for his gourmet turkey dinners. Chef and restaurant owner Ramsey Gordon attracted food aficionados from everywhere to his fine-dining establishment, "The Golden Gobbler." Known to be a tyrant of a boss and an ill-mannered business associate, his recipe for turkey had remained a secret for years, despite the protestations of those who proclaimed that the ingredients and formula for such a succulent dish should be shared with everyone.
Last night, Gordon’s restaurant was to have been jam-packed with hungry customers, waiting for the chance to devour his famous main course. Yet, it was not to be. The famished fowl feasters were unexpectedly told the sad news that Gordon was dead, the victim of an unfortunate accident.
For earlier yesterday, while lighting his personal oven - the one only he was allowed to use - an explosion rocked the restaurant, putting an untimely end to the career of the duke of the drumstick. The circumstances were suspicious enough that authorities investigated and proclaimed the death to be not an accident, but a well-calculated homicide.
Who would have done away with the wizard of the white meat with Thanksgiving in the air? And what of the secret recipe? Was it written down and stored in a safe spot, or would it vanish from the earth forever?

Only sound logic and expert sleuthing skills would solve the case and ensure that no clues would be left over...
Gobble, Gobble, Death and Trouble has been written for 6 to 40 people.

The presents were always fairly minor "tree-presents" - the real fun was in finding them.
As I grew older, I started creating the family treasure hunt. Some years ago I moved away and haven't spent many Christmases at home - so I haven't created many treasure hunts recently. However, in the summer of 2006 I was asked to create one for a family get-together. As I'm now a bit rusty I used an old standby, a game we call Stations...
