Girls' Night In Murder Mystery Introduction To The Theme
New York was a tricky place to live, with a constant need for socialization and of course, money. Sara, a local celebrity known for being the heiress to a multi million dollar company, was also one of New York’s finest, constantly hosting elaborate events and parties. Everyone who was anyone wanted an invite, but she was always selective. After all, a good guest list is the first step towards any successful bash.
So, for her birthday, Sara decided to take a new route. After some recent drama, it seemed like something smaller would be more fitting, hence, a slumber party with only a few of her closest friends.
It was supposed to be a casual night, and as Sara’s staff welcomed her guests, she made her big reveal. Everything was going smoothly, until one of the women went missing. Andrea Fields, the chief marketing officer to Sara’s family company. The lights flashed, sending everything into utter chaos- and when they turned back on, Andrea was found dead, brutally murdered. Her body was found in the kitchen, with three stab wounds- one in the shoulder and two in the chest. Found by her body was a keycard to a local hotel called the Carlton, an unopened piece of gum, and a black pen with the initials M.B.D engraved on it.
Someone at the party killed Andrea Fields: and it is up to you to figure out who. It could be any of you, and remember, nobody knows who did it, not even the killer herself. Find out who had the motive, means, and opportunity to murder. Good luck.
