January 31, 2008 19:00 - The Sizzling Case of the Soccer Saboteur - an all girls mysteryMysteries-on-the-Net have a new murder mystery for 8-30 girls aged 11 to 14: The Sizzling Case of the Soccer Saboteur.
Here's the story so far:
The rolling cheer of a wave ripples around the stadium and the scent of hot dogs and burgers fills the air. It’s the finals of the All-Girl Starling Cup Soccer Championship - and it’s a sell-out! Many in the crowd have traveled hundreds of miles to watch the most-anticipated game of the year. The Rolling Hills Bluebirds are playing the Seashell Cove Wildcats, and the winners will be the State Champs! The sky is blue, the sun is shining, and everybody’s looking forward to a great game. But things are about to go terribly wrong.
The teams run out to wild applause. It’s tradition for the team captains to shake hands before the game starts. Bluebirds captain Rebecca Goodkicks and Wildcats captain Victoria Smee jog onto the field to roars from the crowd. They go to the center to shake hands, but before they reach each other, Rebecca starts slowing down. She looks uncomfortable. What’s going on? A few moments later she turns and runs back into the locker room! Is she limping? What’s happening?
A few minutes later, Ella Galaxy, the booth announcer, relays the news that the game will be delayed, and groans are heard from everyone. Rebecca’s soccer shoes have been sabotaged with Red Hot Itching Powder! Rebecca needs some time to recover. The Bluebirds coach, Ivana Winalot, is refusing to let her girls play until the mystery is solved and the culprit is found.
The crowd is getting restless. Everybody wants the game to begin. The guilty party must be brought to justice. The local police proclaim the game will be delayed until the case is solved. Everyone has been deputized and is ordered to help find the culprit....

December 13, 2007 20:08 - The Chocolaty Case of the Costume ConspiracyMysteries-on-the-Net have a new murder mystery for 9-25 pre-teens: The Chocolaty Case of the Costume Conspiracy.
Here's the story so far:
Once a year at Sweet County Elementary School, everyone in the whole school--kids and teachers alike--throws a party in the school gym. None of the other schools has ever had a party that’s as much fun as the party at Sweet County Elementary. That’s because it’s a costume party! Most of the kids prepare weeks in advance. They create all kinds of costumes -- cats and dogs, clowns, pirates, and even ghosts!
Everyone in the first, second, and third grades makes their own costumes for the party -- even the teachers! There’s a best-costume contest, music, games, fruit punch, pizza and, best of all--cake! But not just any kind of cake - it’s Mrs. McGreedy’s homemade, warm and fluffy, sweet and yummy double chocolaty-chocolate chip cake. Most of the kids are scared of Mrs. McGreedy, but they’ll do just about anything for some of her double chocolaty-chocolate chip cake. Mr. Snackums, the school principal, never lets anyone eat sweets at school -- except at the costume party. So that makes the party even more fun...

November 1, 2007 19:06 - A Dead Man's Chest - blog entryI've just come across this blog entry for A Dead Man's Chest: http://garlicks.blogspot.com/2007/10/murder-mystery-party.html
October 15, 2007 18:53 - Write your own storyI've added a new feature to my website - a page where you can add your own murder mystery party story and photograph.
So if you've got a really neat story about one of the games on this site, you can now share it with everyone. It's really easy - basically you just fill in the form, and then you will be shown what the result will look like. If you want to tweak it a little, go ahead. Then when you're satisfied, I'll get an email which lets me check and review the page (and makes sure that there's no spam or rubbish - or anything that gives away who the murderer is!).
(You can't put links in, but I can - so just tell me where you want the links and I'll do the rest.)
I've created an example to show you what I mean here: The Pharaoh Rises in Suffolk
You can also comment on other people's entries. So if you have a party, you can let your friends know and they can add their comments too.
