Murder in the Orient - Murder a la Carte
Shanghai, 1937. It's a confused, chaotic and cosmopolitan kind of town. Local businessman, Fu Manchuria, has invited a mixed group to his house to have dinner, but regrettably the host himself will not be present. He's been detained upstairs. Detained by person or persons unknown. He was found in his bedroom, bound and gagged, and with an ivory chopstick through his heart. In short, he's dead.
So who killed him? It can only be one of his guests, which means that at least one of you is a murderer. Luckily the private detective Marlowe McClue is here to help you find out who that person is.
The guests are:
WAN TON WILLY - a Chinese businessman who was Fu Manchuria's partner
REV SPOONER - an American missionary, currently spreading the word to the people of Shanghai
XENA SPOONER - the Reverend's wife, who met him on his last mission and now works as a schoolteacher
MOUSY TUNG - Fu Manchuria's housekeeper, no one knows much about her past
BRUCE LYE - a professional dancer at the The White Poppy nightclub
LADY MARMALADE - the French wife of a British diplomat who has just arrived in Shanghai
SU SUKI - a Japanese actress currently appearing at the Shanghai Opera House
PEKING TOM - an Australian adventurer widely known all over the Orient.
The game includes invitations: simply choose which of your friends play which devious suspect and invite them to come along as that character. Also included are menu suggestions, recipes and of course, a really tasty murder to solve! It will be drop-dead fun, and by the end of the evening, one (or more) of your friends will be caught out as the murderer!
