Manor Dinner Party Murder Mystery Introduction To The Theme

The Crawford Manor was a hallmark of the city, and everyone who was anyone was invited to the dinner party. Told to dress in their fanciest attire and to be prepared for one of the greatest nights of their lives, all of the guests were incredibly excited. Yet the dinner party, which was the first big event thrown at the Manor since a tragic accident, did not go as planned. In fact, the night of excitement turned to chaos when Mason Crawford, one of the manor’s heirs, was found murdered. Mason was found dead in the wine cellar underneath the kitchen in the middle of the dinner party. He had been stabbed several times, although the murder weapon was missing. One of the guests in attendance at the dinner party killed him! Found by Mason’s body was a broken wine glass, a golden watch with a shattered face, an invitation to the dinner party, and a red rose. It is up to you to figure out which of you killed Mason Crawford and remember, no one, not even the killer themself, knows who did it. It is time to figure out who had the motive, means, and opportunity to murder-- good luck!
