The week of Halloween, residents of the Grove got together for a Murder Mystery Night! The Grove was transformed into Shady Oaks, a small town where a new family family had just moved in and had invited everyone to a house warming party. Party attendees were asked to dress the part and play the roles assigned to them as they arrived.
Each round we were given clues about our characters and other guests at the party. Our goal was to figure out their history before the end of the night. It was like speed dating as we took turns meeting one another and asking probing questions.
Then, a murder occurred!
And everyone, including our host, Isabella Dawson (Danielle Juncal), was alarmed to discover there was a murderer among us.
After we victimized one another and spread rumors about the suspected killer, we decided that the best way to solve the mystery was through individual confessions. One by one, party attendees gave their alibis…
Some were more convincing than others.
In the end, we were all tricked by the real murderer––a foreign chocolate-maker disguised as a town resident. Even though we weren’t able to solve the crime, by the end of the night, we could all agree that the investigative process and each other’s company made it a party to die for!
