Cudham Riding Club
Cudham Riding Club is a modern-day freeform murder mystery party for 14 to 40 people, published by Murder Mystery Games Ltd.
Cudham Riding Club - an interactive Murder Mystery Game
Lady Amanda Cudham, Chairwoman and Benefactress of the Cudham Riding Club has died in a tragic riding accident - and the police suspect foul play! So come and join the members of the Cudham Riding Club as they gather to elect a new chairwoman, trade horses, bet on the Isle of Man handicap - and even solve the mystery of who killed Lady Cudman.
Cudham Riding Club lasts for about four hours and is suited to an evening. It is often played over a meal - a finger buffet is possible to allow guests to circulate and talk in private.
The free introductory pdf file (which you can download from the Murder Mystery Games Ltd website) contains a list of all the characters, an invitation to send out to your guests, a the background to the evening - plus details of how to pay.
The cast of Cudham Riding Club includes:
- The (remaining) committee members
- Horse traders - and owners and prospective buyers
- D.C.I Dawdley of Scotland Yard
- A bookmaker - to take bets on the Isle of Man handicap
- And the rest of the Club - including the pillars of Cudham society, including MPs, businessmen and their families.
Some of the characters are optional - Cudham Riding Club plays equally well with anywhere from 14 to 40 people - including the host. Cudham Riding Club contains detailed rules of who should be included and who should be dropped if you have fewer than 40 guests.
(A brief warning - the members of the Cudham Riding Club have indulged in some truly awful behaviour: adultery, fraud, coercion, blackmail, theft, cocaine-abuse and other skulduggery. They are perhaps the worst-behaved group of characters of any of the murder mystery games here, so you might want to think twice before running the game for people of a sensitive disposition.)
How Cudham Riding Club Works
Unlike most boxed murder mystery games, Cudham Riding Club gives you complete control over how you solve the mystery and achieve your objectives. You will choose who to talk to, and what to ask them.
On the evening, the guests are met by Oakley Smith, the riding club's flamboyant social secretary (played by the host). During Oakley's introduction a second murder is committed - and following that everyone receives their detailed backgrounds. The fun then begins as everyone questions, bribes and blackmails each other.
As the evening progresses the following questions will be answered:
- Who will be the new Cudham Riding Club Chairwoman?
- Whose horse will win the Isle of Man handicap?
- Who will end up with the most money?
- Who killed Lady Amanda Cudham?
