ZOMBIES AT LARGE!
1940's Murder Mystery Dinner Party Game for 6-10 players
It's the 1960's. A top secret genetic research facility run by the military has gone up in flames. Shambling zombie-like creatures have appeared, causing death, destruction and panic wherever they roam. Who or what are they? A group of survivors make a run for it, to the safety of a nearby offshore island but on the journey across, one of them is killed. It wasn't a zombie killing - this was murder.
One of the survivors is the murderer. The army seems very keen to find the perpetrator - and even the zombies have lined up along the shoreside in a silent vigil...
This is an original murder mystery game supplied by email as ready to print Microsoft Word pdf files. The immersive game has interesting plot lines and plenty to keep players guessing 'whodunit' right until the very end. Running time is 1½ - 2 hours.
The files supplied will print character booklets for your guests, invitations, party setup instructions, name tags, various evidence, a choice of murder confessions, wartime menus and lots of extras to turn your venue into the crime investigation scene.
You will need 50+ sheets of printer paper and a stapler.

Tanya Hyde (F):
You are a project manager at the top secret Point Zero government research project. Can it really be your fault dozens of zombies have escaped from the facility?

You are working as a long distance van driver. Driving the roads of England with the wind in your hair, singing along to the Beatles ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’ at the top of your voice. Road map open on the seat beside and a few you chocolate Mars bars at the ready, there’s worse ways to earn a living…
Jean Poole (F):

A Russian émigré, you should be grateful to the British for allowing you to enter their British Isles, and should be happy to have found productive work as a municipal roadsweeper, da?
Jim Shorts (M):
You are the manager of several pop groups. Don’t get me wrong, you are delighted one of your signings has a record performing well in the charts – but why did it have to be Rocky Rhodes? (sigh)
