Put on your own mystery dinner theater: murder's on the menu, and everyone's a suspect in this grownup game for 6 to 8 players. The game includes everything you need to serve up mystery, murder, and fun: a shopping list, menus, recipes by cookbook author Sandra Gluck, eight party invitations and envelopes, place cards, secret clues and, best of all, a murder mystery to solve. The annual wine-tasting festival in California Wine Country is in full swing when the body of local vineyard owner, Barry Underwood, is found hidden beneath his wine cellar. Barry has been missing for six long years but with the discovery of his body comes a wealth of new clues to solve the mystery. It's a vintage murder and you may be a suspect. Just invite your friends to dress up and play the roles of the devious suspects (each with his or her own character booklet with roles and background info): Otto Von Schnapps, Tiny Bubbles, Papa Vito, Marilyn Merlot, Ralph Rottingrape, Hedy Shablee, Bonny Lass, and Bud Wizer.
Serve up a meal or light snack, play the included CD with its introduction, summary of events, and solution to the crime. Find out who killed California vineyard owner Barry Underwood, and why.
