The Last Gasp
The Last Gasp is a Victorian interactive murder mystery game for 14 to 40 guests, published by Murder Mystery Games Ltd.
It is New Year's Eve 1899 and George Sweet, the 5th Earlof Coddingham plans to leave the country before his wicked and dissolute past catches up with him. Before he goes, he is holding one last party - The Last Gasp. Invited to it are all the people who have suffered as a result of his appalling behaviour - he is determined to use his party to make up for past mistakes.
At least, that's the plan...
The Last Gasp - an interactive Murder Mystery Game
At The Last Gasp you will find yourself in an enthralling plot of intrigue and blackmail. You will be in the middle of the action - it will be up to you to scheme and plot against the other guests. Can you get your revenge, keep your skeletons kept locked in the closet and unmask the murderer? It's up to you.
The Last Gasptypically runs for two to four hours. It is often played over a meal - a finger buffet if 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 guests, an invitation to send out, a copy of "The Coddingham Gazette," - plus details of how to order.
How The Last Gasp Works
Unlike most boxed murder mystery games, The Last Gasp lets you decide how you are going to solve the mystery and achieve your objectives. You will choose who to talk to, and what to ask them.
On the evening, the guests will be met by the organiser, Sam Jenkings, George Sweet's legal advisor. The guests then receive their detailed backgrounds - including dark secrets, objectives and money. The fun then begins as everyone questions, bribes and blackmails each other. Everyone is trying to find out who the murderer is, but they also have other objectives - and they decide how achieve them!
Captains, Doctors, Dames - even Queen Victoria herself - characters of all sorts have been invited to The Last Gasp. Who will you be?
