Mysterious Finale!

With all Game Days completed - all questions asked - all clues collected - Mysterious Mysteries powered towards its labyrinthine conclusion: a drawing room denouement to end all drawing room denouements!

Using his supreme skills of observation and interrogation, Mr. E. Solver unleashed a barrage of questions, conjecture, and explosive exposition on the assembly of conniving conspirators, subjecting each one in turn to his keen and penetrative powers of deduction.

Revelations abounded as each suspect fell before the scrutiny of the master detective, until only one's culpable guilt remained, and the murderer was revealed - Madame Monet, the mysterious choreographer!

With the villain exposed and the mystery solved, Mr. E. Solver left the festival, nose to the ground, always on the look out for the next... Mysterious Mystery!

Game Day #3

Game Day #3 whirled by like a detective's pen at a detective's notepad convention! And the third and final chance to interrogate our sinister suspects saw a new (and yet familiar) face enter the fray: Mr. E. Solver himself!

With the master sleuth guiding discerning budding detectives through the ins and outs of suspect questioning, the crowds could only look on in awe as the legendary mystery solver matched wits with the craziest criminals ever assembled!

The 3rd Game Day concluded with a flurry of notes and cryptic clues.

Who exactly was it that killed Abigail? Why did she have to die? Where was Madame Monet at the time of her murder? And why didn't Terrance and Lyle hear her screams?

These questions could only be

answered by the keenest, sharpest, most inquisitive, cunning, and skilled of amateur armchair detectives... or at the Grand Finale Denouement!

Hold on to your hats, detectives! The murderer is about to be revealed!
