MYSTERY SYNOPSIS It is the year 2099, and the demented Genesee Glasco, a quintillionaire heiress and first world ruler, is hosting

the ultimate retro gala. The steampunk-themed affair will be held at the Hematite Palace in the world’s new capital – Glasco Megalopolis. Using her newest invention created by a collective effort from the world’s top scientists, she has hand-selected her guests from past icons, historical legends, and even infamous villains.

The denizens of the world have been on the edge of their seats watching the planning stages of the first world-wide extravaganza unfold on their nuclearvision devices! For the past sixteen days, the befuddled faces of the honorary guests have been publicized as they endured the excruciating journey from the past to the main platform of the Time Travel Epicenter of Glasco Megalopolis. The attendees have not been briefed on why they were brought into the future, and are being isolated in unknown locations within Diamond City while they await the night of celebration.

Nobody knows what Genesee specifically has planned for the gala, but this party is undeniably a world’s first. Regrettably, you are one of the icons that have suffered through the painful transport from the past. You feel disoriented and are quite mystified why you have been brought to this strange place and why they are not allowing you to leave. This is where your story begins.

LIST OF CHARACTERS FOR THE HOST (16 guests total - 8 female, 8 male) 8 are required, 8 are optional

CHARACTER BRIEF BIO SUGGESTED ATTIRE

GENESEE GLASCO World Leader

2070-Present

REQUIRED

Female

Genesee Glasco is the demented quintillionaire and the first world leader in history. Genesee recently inherited her estate from her late father, a notorious tyrant, who died from a mysterious poison. Some say that Genesee may have played a hand in her father’s demise, but with her tremendous power, the world will never know. Genesee rules the world by intimidation, financial might, and manipulation.

Futuristic blinged-out royal-inspired gown. Whitish-

blue long-haired wig. Large gemstone (costume)

jewelry, as your character loves gemstones, owns the world, and money is of no

object to her.

RENJI BON Former

U.S. President

2060-2098

REQUIRED Male

President Renji Bon was the final U.S. President in history. Upon his unexplained death in the year 2098, Genesee Glasco took over the reigns as not only the new leader of the United States but of the world. Renji was a courageous leader and was the first president in history to be elected by a unanimous vote. He has been deeply missed by all citizens of what was the former United States.

Futuristic military uniform – black leather, etc. In the

‘future’, the U.S. Presidents were the true leaders of the armed forces and served on the front line. Use futuristic toy weaponry as optional accessories – be creative.

UVEY XO Physicist

2040-2065

REQUIRED

Female

Uvey Xo is a well-known physicist that departed this world well before her time at a young age of 25 years. Rumor has it that Rufus Glasco, Genesee’s late father, hired an assassin to execute Uvey because she refused to work for him to create the world’s first time machine. Uvey publicly held firm that the creation of a time machine would be the beginning of the end of the world and that she would have no part in its creation. She paid the price for this stance with her life.

Futuristic lab uniform. Safety goggles and ear protection as optional

accessories.

IVAN THE HORRIBLE Russian Tsar

1550-1590

REQUIRED

Male

Ivan the Horrible was the former tyrannical Russian tsar until his death in 1590. Ivan was a multifaceted ruler – intelligent, albeit prone to maniacal eruptions that were possibly due to an undiagnosed mental disorder. Ivan’s acts against humanity include slaying an entire town and even murdering his own son to further his stratagem. Somewhat a political genius, Ivan was able to turn 16th century Russia into a world superpower. However, he accomplished this feat with the blood of his people.

Lavish Russian ceremonial dress such as a beaded, satin, pearl-cuffed gown with a jewel-studded and fur-edged hat. You would have spared no expense, so the more adorned your

costume is, the better.

MERRY MONROE Hollywood Icon

1928-1960

REQUIRED

Female

Merry was the most famous blonde bombshell of the ‘50s. She was a trained actress, model, and quickly rose to a household name during her years in the spotlight. She transcended black and white film to Technicolor, exposing her beauty and charisma to an adoring audience. Merry’s shocking death was somewhat mysterious. She died before her time via an overdose of sleeping pills. Some say heartache led her to this fate; others say it was an accident. Nonetheless, in 2099, women across the globe model themselves after her iconic appearance.

Either a white halter swing dress or a pink, satin

evening gown with long evening gloves and a bow

on the back. Blonde, curled, short-haired wig.

Heavy eye makeup and red lipstick to complete the

look.

ALFRED EINSTEIN German Theoretical

Physicist

1880-1957

REQUIRED Male

Alfred Einstein, who is celebrated as the world’s premier thinker, was the first superstar scientist in history. Typically seen with a pipe in his mouth, Alfred was quick to spew out a formula to explain any scientific phenomenon. Alfred was dedicated to his work and earned a Nobel prize for his accomplishments in physics. However, Einstein had trouble with personal relationships in his life, having a child out of wedlock that was sadly given up for adoption to save his career. People say that he had a difficult time living with the regret from this decision.

Gray, unkempt shoulder length hair. Heavy,

unkempt eyebrows. Suit with a bowtie to complete

your look. Small chalkboard and chalk for mini physics lectures as

optional accessories.

MADRA HARRI Dutch Belly Dancer and

International Spy

1877-1915

REQUIRED Female

Madra Harri was a Dutch belly dancer who turned into an international spy during World War I. As a neutral citizen of Holland, Madra formed stealthy relationships with military men across Europe, delivering confidential information received from her courtships to both British and French intelligence. Madra became entangled in her web of deceit when she was apprehended and accused of being a double agent for Germany. Unfortunately, she was executed via a firing squad by the French government in 1915.

Belly dancer costume. Beaded bra-style top with hanging coins. Chiffon

multi-layered performance skirt with a dropped,

embellished waistline. Gem-adorned headpiece to

match. Heavy, alluring makeup and beaded

bracelets and dance zills as optional accessories.

RENBRANT Dutch Painter

1604-1669

REQUIRED

Male

Born in 17th century Netherlands, this talented painter was known for his innovative, artistic faculties. Renbrant was first noticed by nobility across Europe for his original techniques of light and shadow, and by his later years, he became an artistic legend. Renbrant’s works include mostly biblical and mythological pieces as well as a number of self-portraits. After an artistic crisis analogous to a writer’s block during his later years, Renbrant died of natural causes.

Slashed 17th century wire-collared doublet with paned sleeves, breeches and tall, narrow boots with turned

over tops. Curled, shoulder-length wig and a

beret-style hat.

ALLY OAKLEY American Exhibition

Shooter

1859-1924

Optional Female

As a child, Ally would rather play with guns in the woods than dolls in the living room. Using her trusty Kentucky Rifle, she was the sole provider of food for her family at the tender age of 7 after her father died from an unfortunate hunting accident. Throughout World War I, she trained women for home defense and even demonstrated marksmanship techniques to the men of the U.S. military. In her later years, she showed off her sharpshooting skills during outdoor performances with Wild Bill’s Traveling Gun Show.

Western-style corset (i.e. suede, leather), white

peasant top, long, flowing skirt and cowboy boots. Stylish cowboy hat and

loosely curled, long hair. A toy rifle and other toy guns

as optional props.

WILLIAM SHADESPER English Poet &

Playwright

1563-1615

Optional Male

A dedicated member of Lord Chamberblane’s Company of Theatrical Performers, William Shadesper became a legend through his captivating plays that captured the attention of a 16th century audience. A gifted writer of sonnets, plays and poems, Shadesper’s works are still analyzed, performed and admired in the year 2099. However, before he was a legend, there was a mysterious period of which nobody knows where William was and what he was doing, and these are referred to by historians as ‘the lost years.’

Linen shirt with a collar (ruff) and matching wrist

ruffs. Over the shirt, wear a doublet with long sleeves.

Leather jerkin over the doublet. Trunk hose paned with strips of fabric for the thighs. Stockings and flat

shoes.

MARILYN ANTONETTE

Queen of France

1755-1790

Optional Female

Born into an Austrian royal family, the beautiful Marilyn was betrothed to the future king of France at the young age of fifteen. By nineteen, she held the title of the youngest queen of France in history. Sadly, she couldn’t have been more different than her introverted husband, King Lewis XVI. Marilyn was gregarious, known for partying at all hours of the night and sleeping in until noon. After leading an extravagant life in the public eye riddled with preposterous scandals, she eventually met an untimely death with a guillotine after the French Revolution.

18th Century gown with a matching parasol. Hair in an 18th century-style updo

that is adorned with flowers & jewels, with a flowing cascade of curls on one shoulder. Large, antique

costume jewelry.

CHRIS COLUMBO

Italian Explorer

1450-1501

Optional Male

Chris began sailing as a teenager and became a preeminent world explorer during his lifetime. Credited with the discovery of the Americas and the opening of trade between America and Europe, Chris came to enjoy riches and a celebrity-style importance. Regrettably, Chris was dishonored for a period as he was blamed for a smallpox plague in the Americas. His cruel treatment of the American natives during colonization was also in question, landing him a residence in a Spanish jail for a time. Chris took to his deathbed disheartened, never knowing the full extent of his contributions to history.

Shirt puffed at the elbow, doublet (high, tight and

collarless) and hose with a short over gown (robe) over

the doublet. Tights and long, pointed shoes. Tall, crowned, small brimmed

hat.

JENN OF ARC French Heroine

1410-1428

Optional Female

This teenage peasant warrior led the French army to expel the British from France - all while disguised as a male soldier. Jenn believed that benevolent voices in her head instructed her how to lead her troops. However, historians believed she might have suffered from schizophrenia among other types of neurological disorders. Jenn had an infamous temper and was entirely intolerant of ill behavior from the men in her army. Alas, Jenn met her doom when she was burned at the stake after being sentenced to die for posing as a man.

15th Century warrior gown. Metallic shoulder armor, a large cross on the chest of the costume. Large, toy

sword and extremely short, brown wig. Alternatively,

wear a chainmail headdress.

GENSIS KAHN Founder of the Mongol

Empire

1160-1225

Optional Male

Gensis Kahn was the ruthless warlord that founded the Mongolian empire by desolating tribes in Northeast Asia and merging the conquered territory with his growing realm. Gensis had a superior army that was known for speed, aggressiveness, and cruel practices during battle. He would take over areas, using captured women and children as human shields, destroying entire populations as he desired. Gensis ultimately met his fate during battle after falling off his horse and sustaining numerous internal injuries.

Long, ankle-length robe made out of faux fur and

leather, boots. Fur brimmed hat with a knot on top. Toy sword. Mustache that does

not extend nor touch the upper lip – only a wispy

mustache on the sides of the mouth toward the long

beard.

KLEOPATICA Egyptian Queen

65BC – 28BC

Optional Female

One of the most famed female rulers in history, Kleopatica grasped the reins of Egypt upon her father’s death in 50 BC. However, a few years later, her brother unexpectedly banished her from Egypt. She retaliated by forming an army, ousting her brother from the throne. She further sealed her position as queen by having a son with the Roman general and statesman, Jules Cezar. After the assassination of her first love, she found her true love, Marco Anthony, who was a triumvir of Rome. Kleopatica and Marco met a sad fate with a double suicide soon after an Egyptian invasion by Rome.

Floor-length, sleeveless gown with a gold lame belt. Belt and collar trimmed with

sequins, jewels, beading, and metallic gold braid.

Gold lame cape that attaches at shoulders.

Beaded headpiece with gems, sequin

embellishments. Heavy cat-eye makeup, dark lipstick to complete the

look.

CONFUSUS Chinese Philosopher

551BC – 477BC

Optional

Male

Confuses was a Chinese philosopher known as the father of humanitarianism. He taught lessons of integrity, governmental ethics, and social equality. Confuses’ beliefs also included a strong respect for the elderly as well as the principle of treating others as you would want to be treated. Confuses wrote many textbooks that are still in use today in the fields of justice, ethics, and social medicine.

Silk Hanfu costume (silk robe). Facial hair of thick eye brows and mustache that lines the side of the

mouth, but not the upper lip and a goatee beard. Hair is

NAMETAGS

World Leader

2070-Present

Each player will have a name tag in the purchased game

GENERAL HOSTING: during the party, your job as the host is to make sure the rounds flow correctly. As the host, you may choose to play any character you wish. You will pass out the clue cards to the guests at the appropriate times. As the mystery progresses, check on your guests to see if they are discussing the clues and implementing tasks on their clue cards (some players may have tasks). Encourage them to mingle with the other players, and not to rush anything. It’s all about gossiping and sharing secrets! They should speak to every other player at least once during each round. Your guests are playing a character role, so they should embrace their character’s lack of integrity and motives. With that said, if you opt to do the optional money challenge, you can instruct the guests to hold back secrets for money (see the bonus activity instructions for more details).

ROUND ONE CLUES – cut out, slip into envelopes and label with the character and round.

Character K – ROUND ONE CLUES TO REVEAL

The last thing you can remember was going into hiding when the French Revolution began. Your memory is hazy after that – and then, you showed up here.

Upon your arrival, there were assistants that escorted you to this place where you remained in isolation for days until this party. They confided in you that not many people are loyal to Genesee. She is a tyrant and only rules the world because she has most of the money in the world and owns everything.

Talk to Character K about his portraits. You used to have one hanging in your castle back when you were queen.

PERSONAL CLUES TO CONCEAL You’re an Austrian born Queen of France – the

youngest in history (19), and a partier. You held parties nightly at your palace. Your husband (King Lewis XVI) was a ‘stick in the mud’ – he was shy, introverted, and didn’t care for social events. You created tons of scandals and were accused of being wasteful, uncaring about humanity, and even of being unfaithful. As a result of the French Revolution, you met your fate with a guillotine – that’s what you were told, at least.

This new world is entirely strange. You don’t understand any of the technology, slang terminology, or customs. Furthermore, you have no idea why you were brought here, but you are intrigued.

During your isolation period in Diamond City, you underwent an accelerated English learning course. You can now speak and read English fluently.

Each player will have a round one card in the purchased game. Names removed to minimize spoilers.

ROUND 2 CLUES – cut out, slip into envelopes and label with the character and round. Character h - ROUND TWO

Pre-Murder Clues • The voices in your head are telling you to lead a

crusade to oust Genesee Glasco from the throne and restore the world to the way that it was before her reign. See what others think about this.

• Speak to Character B about how he grew such an amazing military. It seems that back when he lived, he was so far advanced with what he achieved.

• You are not sure if you trust Character O. • Ask around to see if any others have had military

training. You need to form an army. Post-Murder Evidence & Alibi (Blood Type A-)

You don’t remember touching the murder weapon tonight.

You never left the Mother of Pearl Ballroom once you arrived tonight. You know that many others were not in the room when the murder must have taken place.

You remember seeing Character S enter the Mother of Pearl Ballroom from the kitchen.

There was blood under the victim’s fingernails on one hand. Hopefully, the investigator can determine whose blood it is – you heard they can do that now.

Each player will have a round two card in the purchased game. Names removed to minimize spoilers.
