MATER DEI IN THE NIGHT

Students of Mater Dei, you are cordially invited to the third annual Mater Dei in the Night—a dinner party with a twist. Often described as a live-action version of the game Clue!, this is a themed dinner with a mysterious murder at the center of the story. The event will be hosted at the Historic Scott House in Carlton, which, in our fictitious story is “Bloodwood Castle in Bloodworth Falls”. The event will take place on Friday, May 9th (timeline below).

Each guest will be assigned a fictitious character (you’ll receive your character profile the week before the dinner). Guests should remain “in the personality of their character” throughout the evening, which will consist of guided activities and clues to potential motives of various guests. Part way through the evening, one guest will be revealed as the murder victim. Thereafter, the sleuthing commences to figure out “who done it”. Rewards will be given to those who guess correctly at the end of the night.

The required dress code for the evening is semi-formal. Don’t know what that means? Don’t worry. Check out the requirements and guidelines HERE.

RSVPs must be submitted no later than April 11th to the email address HERE. Cost for admission is $30 per student, to be paid in the school office prior to the event. Join us for this mysteriously exciting event to close out the school year! See you soon!

 

PLOT SYNOPSIS

Bloodworth Falls is an isolated town plagued with scandal, blackmail, and deceit. The townsfolk bicker in the streets, and many believe the local government is corrupt.

Nevertheless, the mayor is hosting a mysterious masquerade ball in the old Bloodwood Castle, and the tickets to the event have sold out in record time. The townspeople are curious to find out why the mayor would put effort into doing something positive in this town of gloom, but all are eagerly hunting for the perfect mask.

You are worried about what will happen on this night when toxic people gather at the castle. You are alarmed, as you didn't purchase your ticket - it was placed in your mailbox in an unmarked envelope. Somebody wants you there, but you need to figure out why. This is where your story begins.
