Who Says Murder Can't Be Fun?
It Happened in The Villages Murder Mystery Game! is an interactive live action event played out in front of an audience that puts you at the scene of a murder. Edition II introduces new twists, turns, plot complications, and intrigue from Edition I which we put on last July and sold out in two hours. If you participated last July, come back and experience this new version. If this is your first-time hearing about our program, come and see what all the excitement is about.
Inspector Lance of the Wildwood Police is onsite interviewing suspects. Over three rounds of play, Lance questions suspects to find out who had the motive, means and opportunity to commit this murder.
Just like in real life, witness statements are not the only source of information. Information on the case comes in from the Coroner’s Office, the Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) unit, and other individuals who information about the case.
Whether you are upfront playing one of the roles, or in the audience discussing the suspects with seatmates and voting, you are actively engaged in trying to identify the murderer.
And, oh those Villagers! The characters participate in Villages clubs, drive their golf carts on well-known trails, eat in popular restaurants at the squares and dabble in Villages real estate deals. There is even a surprising amount of hanky-panky going on considering everyone is way, way over 55.
