GAME SYNOPSIS The charming Kingdom of Topsy-Turvy Land turned dreadful after the Scarlet Queen thieved the crown from the

unsuspecting Silver Queen who had ruled the land peacefully for the previous 101 years. The wicked Scarlet Queen seized control of Topsy-Turvy Land but as a cruel and uncaring dictator under the protection of her beastly ally – the Greasy Goon!

Allie, a loyal friend of the Silver Queen, hatched an ingenious plan to steal the crown back from the Scarlet Queen! The Flying Monkeys were the unwilling night guardians of the Queen’s crown as they were unable to escape the palace unless it was a

precise time of day that they could fly. Therefore, to keep them prisoners in the palace, the Queen didn’t allow clocks around the Flying Monkeys. Reluctantly, they guarded the crown each night and did their duty to avoid her wrath!

As Allie and friends strategized to save Topsy-Turvy Land, the White Bunny searched frantically around the Topsy-Turvy Land Woods for a pair of missing gloves. The White Bunny was the Queen’s herald and followed a rigid schedule around the

daily criminal trials in the Palace Garden. After returning home with gloves in hand, the White Bunny stumbled upon a ransom note along with a curiously coded message on the table! The White Bunny was stunned to learn that a thief had stolen

her pocket watch! The White Bunny knew she was in big trouble and needed serious help from her friends! The White Bunny arrived at the Crazy Cap Maker’s Afternoon Tea Party and shared the note and curiously coded message with her friends. The guests of the tea party mingled about and discussed the crime. To everyone’s shock, another ransom

note surfaced that led to an exciting scavenger hunt through Topsy-Turvy Land Woods. Once the group decoded the curiously coded message, they investigated who might have pilfered the White Bunny’s pocket watch. More peculiar notes from the thief arrived on the sly but this time; the notes led the guests to the hidden pocket watch! A thorough forensic

analysis was performed on the watch and the guests of the tea party submitted their best guess of Whodunit! Each guest took turns admitting their involvement, if any, in the crime and out of the blue…the thief confessed to the crime! With Topsy-Turvy Land in an uproar, the tea party guests made a valiant effort to seize the Scarlet Queen’s crown right off of her head!

The question is: were any of them successful? To be continued…

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PARENT HOST Thank you for purchasing ‘The Case of the Pilfered Pocket Watch Mystery Game’. This mystery is a light-hearted mystery that allows your guests to step into different characters while trying to solve the entertaining mystery. The party can be a huge success as long as everyone relaxes and lets the mystery unravel during each round. 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. You can also scroll the clues and tie a ribbon around them (be sure to label them with the character and round) or you can simply pass them out to the guests for each round. There is also a scavenger hunt that needs preparation in advance of the game (see the game break down below).

INVESTIGATION ROUND / ROUND TWO: Deliver these clue cards and allow the guests to mingle. If you are going to serve a light dinner, you can do so at this time but it is optional. After mingling and implementing the tasks and sharing the information on their clue cards, the four notes (ransom-style notes #4-7) are presented to the guests and will lead them to the pocket watch hidden in the refrigerator. A forensic analysis report is given to the guests after the pocket watch is found and the final guesses of whodunit are submitted. FINAL SOLUTION ROUND / ROUND THREE: Cake and hot chocolate can be served during this round as the guests read their final solutions in front of the group. If there is time, accusations can be made by each guest before the Round Three Solution Cards are read (acted out).

For further questions, check out our FAQ web page at http://www.mymysteryparty.com/helpful.html Our number is 1-800-714-3951 and hours are M-F, 10-3 PM Central Time.

OPTIONAL PRE-GAME Host Instructions: Before the party, send out the free, printable game invitations to your guests as they have a character list and a mystery synopsis. This way, the guests can be familiar with the other guests at the mystery before they arrive to the party and will have an idea where the story line is headed. You can always elect to read the synopsis to the guests prior to passing out the Round One Clue cards. Once you have your guests who have RSVP’d - proceed with the pre-game starters about 1 week or so before the party (see below). This optional pre-game round is to be implemented approximately one week before the party. Please note that this round generates pre-game excitement and is not necessary to solve the mystery. The ways to deliver these clues are as follows:

FULL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE PURCHASED GAME

ROUND ONE IT’S time for a mad Tea PARTY! Parent Host Instructions:

PARTY DÉCOR: Set up a long table with a brightly covered table cloth(s). Place teapots of all colors, shapes and sizes on the table and use mismatched chairs of all sizes. Hide a toy mouse in a sugar bowl. Hang colorful lanterns over the table. Decorate the front door to the party area like a rabbit hole or even a big mirror (i.e. a looking glass). Hang signs around the party area that say ‘this way, ‘up’, ‘down’ ‘that way’, etc. Put clocks around the room that are stopped at ‘tea time.’ Decorate the room with giant playing cards and chess pieces (use cardboard and paint if you cannot find them at your local party store). Put a few lawn flamingos around the room and / or purchase a flamingo light set. If you have lawn flamingos, you need some stuffed hedgehogs as well. Fill vases with white and red roses and even some white roses that are half-way painted red.

ROUND TWO - MEEDLE MUM Clues to share with other characters:

You can’t think of any reason why you would have touched the White Bunny’s pocket watch so if you or your twin’s fingerprints are on the watch – you two might be big suspects!

You and your twin’s favorite food is a chocolate cupcake covered with grape jam! You had ten of them for breakfast this morning.

The guilty one would definitely have left fingerprints on the pocket watch as the only one who wears gloves in Topsy-Turvy Land is the White Bunny. Furthermore, the White Bunny searches for the gloves all the time!

When the pocket watch is found, it probably has the thief’s fingerprints on it!
