Synopsis FOR THE HOST – this outlines the suggested flow of the party.

The Oceanside Palace Hotel of Maui was hosting their nightly luau on Sunset Beach. Exciting Polynesian spirit filled the air as the guests were greeted with festive Hawaiian leis. Everybody mingled while enjoying delicious appetizers. The celebration kicked off with fun party games, but it became apparent that some guests didn’t get along and others were hiding scandalous secrets. The party forged on with a delicious Hawaiian dinner while the guests enjoyed a fun challenge. With stuffed bellies, the luau partygoers gossiped and laughed, and to everyone’s horror, a dead body was discovered! The guests rallied together and underwent a thorough investigation including a fiber analysis provided by the local police department.

6 required, 4 optional (5f, 5m)

Character Brief Bio Suggested Attire

PONI MULOKELI Hula Dancer / Hawaiian Native

REQUIRED

Female

Poni Mulokeli is the hardworking performer for the Oceanside Palace Hotel Luaus on Sunset Beach. She’s an obnoxious one-upper who’s not the most popular employee among the staff of

the hotel! Extended chats with this feisty entertainer are definitely worth avoiding - if you know what is good for you.

Hawaiian top and grass skirt. Long,

black wig is an optional prop.

Leis & flowers in your hair are

optional.

ROBBIE PETERS Hollywood Actor / Tourist

REQUIRED

Male

Robbie Peters is a Hollywood hunk who is currently vacationing - in total disguise - for a month in Hawaii with his co-star Kirstin

Withers. They’re relaxing in between films - hidden far from the paparazzi. But Robbie’s narcissism and arrogant attitude are a little much for the laid back staff of the Oceanside Palace Hotel.

Robbie is traveling under the alias ‘Harry Spotter.’

Casual yet trendy beach attire.

Sunglasses as an optional prop.

KIRSTIN WITHERS

Hollywood Actress/ Tourist

REQUIRED Female

Kirstin Withers is known as one of Hollywood’s nicest young stars. At least that’s the side of Kirstin that Hollywood’s seen! On a more personal level, away from the glitz and glam, this spoiled

diva lets it loose with angry tirades if she doesn’t get her way. She’s currently in disguise as an average Jane and she doesn’t

like it much, as she doesn’t get the attention she does as a movie star. Kirstin is traveling under the alias ‘Paula Jaxson.’

Casual yet trendy

beach attire. Sunglasses as an

optional prop.

TIKI HUTMAN Beach Lifeguard/ Hawaiian

Resident

REQUIRED Male

Tiki Hutman was born in Southern California but moved to Maui when he was only eight years old. He grew up on the Maui beaches and is the head lifeguard at the Oceanside Palace Hotel’s Sunset Beach. Tiki is known for his innovative dance moves and outgoing personality. He’s the one to get a party

started – but hopefully, not while on duty! The locals are starting to worry that Tiki might be losing his edge as a lifeguard.

Beach attire with optional whistle.

LOVEY POWELL Heiress/ Tourist

REQUIRED Female

Lovey Powell is the billionaire heiress that spends her pampered life vacationing in exotic locations. One of her many mansions around the world is located on the beautiful island of Maui, and

she refers to it as home base. Lovey often stays at the resorts on the beach to flaunt her money. She considers everyone to be

subservient to her. Bossy is her middle name!

Very expensive-looking beach

attire with (fake) money coming

out of every pocket. Large

costume jewelry. JACK MARROW

Deep Sea Fisherman/ Resident Tourist

REQUIRED Male

Jack Marrow is quite the odd character. Originally hailing from the bayous of Southern Louisiana, Jack is currently traveling the world in search of the best deep sea fishing. He recently had to

take a job hosting fishing excursions, as he ran out of cash during his month-long scheduled vacation and couldn’t make it home to the mainland. Jack is famous for his pirate impersonations and

prefers to be called Captain Jack Marrow.

Fisherman attire. Optional pirate

costume / props. Optional rubber fish as props.

COCO BEACHES College Student / Tourist

Optional Female

Coco Beaches is the seemingly naive college student from the University of Northern Texas. She won her trip to Hawaii as part

of a Hawaiian trivia challenge on a local radio station. Coco appears to be void of all common sense but claims to have earned a 4.0 GPA thus far in her pursuit of a biochemistry

degree. No matter what her academic status truly is – she’s all about having fun.

Trendy and young beach

attire.

ANO HALOA Waiter / Hawaiian Native

Optional Male

Ano Haloa is the nosy waiter at the Oceanside Palace Hotel. He might not seem like he is paying attention to the conversation at your table, but quite the contrary! This meddlesome maître d'

keeps a journal and knows every detail about every guest at the hotel! Be careful what you say around Ano, as rumor has it that he’s just waiting for the day he hears a bit of gossip he can do

something with!

Waiter uniform or black shirt / pants with a half apron

(bartender’s apron).

HOLI MULOKELI Greeter / Hawaiian Native

Optional Female

Holi Mulokeli is the overly-excited greeter and lei presenter at the Oceanside Palace Hotel. The native Hawaiians know to avoid her, but the tourists… well, they better be ready for a surprise

when they arrive to the hotel! Holi bursts with energy and hospitality and takes her job very seriously. Her enthusiasm has

been known to make children cry and animals flee the scene! Holi is the sister of the hotel’s main hula dancer, Poni Mulokeli.

Hawaiian top and grass skirt.

Flower (real or silk) in hair.

Long, black wig is an optional prop. Leis are highly

suggested accessories.

SOL BOATMAN Donut Artist / Tourist

Optional Male

Sol Boatman recently won a lawsuit against a large fast food

chain for burning his lip on an overly-heated hamburger. He’s using his winnings to set out on a tour of the world – starting with

Maui! Sol is a recently retired donut artist and is definitely enjoying the break from the sugary confections. Sol is typically

seen with a bunch of friends wherever he goes. Optional to add a team of ~ 5-10 players to play along as

Sol’s friends.

Nerdy beach attire.

SOL BOATMAN’S FRIENDS

Moochers

Optional Male

Sol Boatman recently won a lawsuit against a large fast food

chain for burning his lip on an overly-heated hamburger. He’s using his winnings to set out on a tour of the world – starting with

Maui! Sol has recently gained a bunch of friends who have a common interest in traveling the world with Sol. Therefore, Sol is

hardly ever seen without his pals. Optional to add a team of ~ 5-10 players to play along as

Sol’s friends. You will need to download the ‘Sol’s Friends’ file from your account if you haven’t already.

Beach attire of any kind.

Get ready for an awesome fun n’ the sun party with your purchase of the Murder in Maui…a Luau to die for game from mymysteryparty.com! This party is an entertaining and comical mystery where the players act the roles of hilarious personalities while sleuthing the intriguing story line. This is an excellent choice for your next get together during the sunshine’y season! PREPARE YOUR KIT: The party pack (this document) needs to be printed in advance of the party. Cut out the clues and slip them into envelopes labeled with the appropriate round and character for each round of the party. It is optimal to choose different colored envelopes for each round. There are envelope packs for sale on the My Mystery Party website in the Party Props section (aka: Prop Emporium). If you do not want to purchase envelopes, simply print the cards and scroll them, placing the name of the character and round on the outside of the scroll and securing with a ribbon. UPGRADE YOUR DOWNLOAD: For a complete surprise, you can elect to upgrade this download to the pre-printed ‘party ready’ party pack option from the mymysteryparty.com site. The upgrade is located here: http://mymysteryparty.com/upgrade-your-download/ This option will upgrade your download to the party ready pack version and you will receive a game kit prepared for you – ready to be played! This upgrade removes the original price of the download from the price of the upgrade, and charges you the difference between the party ready pack and download version of the game. OPTIONAL PROPS: We also offer mystery props on the My Mystery Party site in the Prop Emporium including crime scene barrier tape, crime scene balloons, mystery investigation pens, white face makeup for the victim, victim t-shirts, victim’s halo, etc. These are all optional but are fun enhancements to your night/day of mystery. During the party, your job as the host is to ensure that the envelopes are given to the guests at the appropriate times and most of all – that you and your guest are having a blast! Make sure to read these host instructions for each round prior to the party to ensure that you have everything in place for the big day! Please note - the host instructions for each round do not disclose who the murderer is, but do not read the Round Three clue cards if you want to keep the murderer a surprise. (The victim is disclosed in the Round Two clue cards.) This mystery comes with 10+ characters. There are 4+ optional characters in this mystery. If you do not have guests for these 4+ optional characters, simply omit the clue cards of these guests.

GAME STRUCTURE: OPTIONAL PRE-GAME TASKS: these optional pre-game task cards are to be delivered to each guest before the party or give them to the guests as they arrive. All pre-game materials are optional and do not alter the mystery and are intended to enhance the pre-game build up for the event. These tasks are not vital to solving the mystery and omission of them does not alter the mystery in any way.

APPETIZER (COCKTAILS 4 ADULTS) HOUR / ROUND ONE: Deliver these clues as your guests arrive.

DINNER HOUR / ROUND TWO: Deliver these clues while you serve dinner (optional) to your guests.

DESSERT, AND THE BIG REVEAL/ SOLUTION ROUND THREE: Deliver these clues with coffee/hot cocoa and dessert (again, it’s optional to serve dessert)

You can simply skip both without a problem and just serve snacks/appetizers the entire time. However, please don’t have a party without offering some type of food – even if it’s just snacks.

GUEST INSTRUCTIONS

You’ve been assigned a character, and you’ve come to the party dressed in the most awesome luau costume. You’ve been instructed to play your role. Now what?

The mystery is separated into three main rounds of party play. During the game, you will receive an envelope that contains the clues necessary for your character for the round. The clues provide everything you need to solve the mystery. However, during the investigation segment of the game, you will need to ask the right questions and pay close attention to all clues in the game to get the whole picture of what has happened.

FULL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE

PURCHASED GAME

From this point forward, you are to remain in character until the mystery is solved. If

you are playing a ‘quirky tourist,’ then that is who you are until the end! Undoubtedly, your host cast you into a character that you are comfortable playing. Some characters are designed to be played more reserved than other characters. Feel free to play your role in any manner you feel comfortable. Embellish your character’s personality if you would like. If you’re feeling more reserved, opt to allow others to approach you, or you can simply listen in on others’ conversations to get your information.

OPTIONAL PRE-GAME TASKS

Character S For some pre-party fun, contact

the following guests: Contact the guest playing Character S and say that you can’t believe he’s been in Maui for 3 weeks already and hasn’t attended the Oceanside Palace Hotel Luau on Sunset Beach. He should know you’re the star performer, but there’s no need for him to ask for an autograph, you’ll have a signed picture waiting for him in the hotel lobby when he checks out next week! (Contact info :___________________________) Contact the guest playing Character E and tell him you see he finally talked the concierge into giving him tickets to the Oceanside Palace Hotel Luau on Sunset Beach. He must have been persistent, as you’ve never seen the hotel management give away luau tickets before – they’re expensive! He must know how to ‘work the system.’ (Contact info :___________________________)

EVERY PLAYER WILL HAVE A PREGAME CARD IN THE

PURCHASED GAME. NAMES AND CERTAIN ITEMS REMOVED/CHANGED TO MINIMIZE SPOILERS. HOWEVER, DO NOT READ IF YOU WISH TO KEEP THE GAME A SURPRISE.

ROUND ONE

EVERY PLAYER WILL HAVE A ROUND ONE CARD IN THE

PURCHASED GAME. NAMES AND CERTAIN ITEMS REMOVED/CHANGED TO MINIMIZE SPOILERS. HOWEVER, DO NOT READ IF YOU WISH TO KEEP THE GAME A SURPRISE.

CHARACTER K ROUND ONE CLUES TO REVEAL DURING THIS ROUND

Talk to Character U about how she said you knew how to ‘work the system’ because you were given the luau tickets for free by the concierge of the hotel. If that is a reference to your lawsuit, you are offended.

Talk to Character P and say you know who they are, but you won’t say a word. They’re not the only ones hiding something.

Ask Character V why she hangs around the resort instead of her mansion in Maui.

PERSONAL CLUES TO CONCEAL You’re an FBI agent working two cases here:

Case #1: Character S is suspected of murdering her billionaire mother and then her sister with poison. Because there was no suspicion of murder, there was no toxicology analysis performed, and she had her lawyer put a stop to both autopsies. She has a niece who was unaware the autopsy was declined in both cases. Once you have enough evidence, your agency can exhume the bodies.

Case #2: Character B is a suspected con artist. Interview the others without acting suspicious and blowing your cover. You need more evidence.

You want people to believe that you are a recent lawsuit winner against Mickey D’s fast food hamburger chain. The story is that you burned your mouth on an overly-heated hamburger that you were served, and you are using your lawsuit winnings to travel. You need people to believe your cover as a donut artist.

ROUND TWO

EVERY PLAYER WILL HAVE A ROUND TWO CARD IN THE

PURCHASED GAME. NAMES AND CERTAIN ITEMS

REMOVED/CHANGED TO MINIMIZE SPOILERS. HOWEVER,

DO NOT READ IF YOU WISH TO KEEP THE GAME A SURPRISE.

CHARACTER K -ROUND TWO

PRE MURDER: Character G hasn’t tipped you all night. S/he is a con

artist and shouldn’t be trusted – and, s/he has never left you a tip so s/he needs to just die.

Tell Character P that the Hollywood paparazzi are on their way. ‘Sorry, not sorry!’

Tell Character Y that the management of the hotel is looking for a way to fire her – just FYI.

Ask Character B why she is estranged with her famous niece. She’ll have plenty of opportunities to explain her side to the Hollywood paparazzi when they arrive at the hotel. You called them ~8 hours ago.

POST MURDER: You probably touched the murder weapon, or a few just

like it, as you helped set up the luau this evening. It’s your job and can’t be avoided, unfortunately.

You saw the victim leave the luau area about 5-6 minutes prior to the time the body was discovered.

If Character T is not an honest person, why should you believe she simply ‘discovered’ the body? How do you know she is not the murderer?

Characters Q and W left the luau at the same time earlier. Character Q returned first.

There is one entrance/exit to the luau and it is a long, dark path. It leads to one restroom, and branches off on either side to an employee break room and a kitchen. Further down the path is how you return to the resort.

ROUND THREE Character Name is Here

FINAL SOLUTION ROUND THREE READ WHEN YOU ARE TOLD IT IS YOUR TURN

I met the victim at the Lime & Coconut Dance Club. S/he seemed nice and offered me a

business deal. S/he said if I paid the fee for a xxxxxxxxxx removed xxxxxxx, s/he would

xxxxxxx removed xxxxxxx. S/he pocketed my 200 bucks and told me

xxxxxxxxxx removed xxxxxx. Is this a reason to kill someone? I certainly think so, as I hit a

friend with my car once for not paying me back on a Super Bowl bet. However, I didn’t

do it this time!

The host should build in at least a 10 minute cushion for guests to arrive late. Hey, it happens.

7:10 PM: The host reads the guest instructions to the group. It is optional to have each guest introduce

their character in front of the group. Play the video game trailer on Your Mystery Party for your

7:20 PM: The Round One envelopes are handed out and the game begins. The guests mingle and

8:35 PM: The Round Two envelopes are handed out to the guests and pre-murder clues are discussed.

8:55 PM: The victim becomes the victim and the host passes out the investigation sheets to the players.

The guests interrogate each other to determine whodunit. The full story is in the player clue cards,

but the guests will have to be skilled at asking the right questions of each other, etc. 9:10 PM: The forensic analysis report is revealed and within ~5-10 minutes, everybody submits their

guess of whodunit.

9:20 PM: Optional accusation round – the guests can take turns accusing who they think did it,

and why. You’ll be surprised at how everybody’s inner actor will surface during this activity.

9:30 PM: Dessert and coffee (optional) are served and the Round Three envelopes are handed out to

the guests. The guests sit in a circle and one-by-one, the solutions are revealed by each of the

guests, and the murderer will confess at the conclusion of the round. The murderer is notified in

their round three solution card that they are the murderer. They will not know or have any

advantage over anybody of knowing whodunit before this round. 9:50 PM: An optional bonus game is played.

10:10 PM: An optional award ceremony. My Mystery Party has award certificates of all kinds that you can

choose from in the Prop Emporium. The host can determine who receives the awards while the

bonus game is being played. Some awards are traditional and some are snarky but hilarious!

10:30 PM: Game over!
