SYNOPSIS (THIS OUTLINES THE FLOW OF THE PARTY EVENTS).
List of Characters
The Devonshire Manor is an 18th century mansion on the outskirts of the town of Pinehorn. It was once owned
by the wealthy Devonshire family and is a legendary estate to the citizens of Pinehorn. In their day, the Devonshires
were beloved, treated as royalty, as they owned more than half of the businesses in town.
The Devonshire Manor has exquisite architectural features, albeit weathered throughout the years. Weeds and
high grass have long since replaced the flowering shrubs and ornamental trees that adorned the property in its day. The
remaining Devonshire lineage passed away in the early 1900’s, leaving their estate in the hands of the town of Pinehorn.
The townspeople have neglected to keep up with the place, mostly due to the legend that the Devonshires still roam the
corridors at night.
The mayor of Pinehorn has made it her quest to remodel and reinstate the Devonshire Manor as a historical bed
and breakfast. She believes that the old estate can generate tourism and an income for the town of Pinehorn. Most of
the townspeople stand behind her, although a few people are adamantly against her pursuit – stating that the place is
haunted and should be left alone.
The mayor cleaned up the dusty cobwebs and is hosting a fundraiser bash for the townspeople of Pinehorn. She
hopes to raise enough funds for her remodeling endeavors. You have been invited to attend the event and this is where
your story begins…

Dakota Green is the nerdy math major at Pinehorn University.
There isn’t an equation that this brainiac hasn’t conquered…or
created. Dakota spends all of his/her spare time at the library
reading books about historical mathematicians. There isn’t
much that Dakota cares about outside of numerical equations.
Casual, nerdy attire.
Hair in a nerdy style
(i.e. slick back, etc.).
White socks, dark
shoes and optional to
have a calculator as
a prop.
Ashton Harvey is a dedicated friend and hardworking website
designer. Ashton has designed websites for most businesses
in the town of Pinehorn. The townspeople often call upon
Ashton for help with anything computer related. Ashton lives
with Reese Harvey and the siblings spend most of their free
time playing video games.
Casual attire.
Parker Tankus is the antisocial guitarist for the band Armpit
Anguish. Parker suffers from severe anger management
issues and is extremely judgmental of others. These nasty
qualities tend to anger not only the members of the band, but
also anybody that is around Parker for more than two minutes.
Parker also suffers from an intense fear of germs so getting
too close to Parker is out of the question!
Skintight brightly
colored leggings,
rock t-shirt, glam
rock hair& makeup,
and it is optional to
have a guitar (real or
fake) as a prop.
Furen Feathers is the most annoying ‘one upper’ in Pinehorn.
If you’ve done, said or tried anything cool, Furen Feathers is
certain to have done it more often, said it already and tried it
three times. Furen Feathers is new to Pinehorn, and not many
people truly know the real Dr. Feathers.
Lab jacket or scrubs.
Optional to have a
stethoscope and
latex examination
gloves.
Peyton Crownly is the peculiar receptionist at Pinehorn Dental.
A constant whistler, Peyton Crownly will always grace you with
uncomfortable stares and periods of awkward silence during
conversation. Pinehorn Dental is the only dental practice in
Pinehorn, so you’ll eventually have to deal with this bizarre
individual. Peyton also creates peculiar sculptures and is
making quite the name in the town of Pinehorn as an artist.
Lab jacket or scrubs.
Optional to have a
nametag with
‘Pinehorn Dental’
and new containers
of dental floss,
toothbrushes, etc.
Jackie Bean is the Chief Financial Officer at the largest
corporation in town, Greeto Lay Potato Chips, Incorporated,
which employs over half the townspeople of Pinehorn. Jackie
is a friendly person, but often rants about governmental
conspiracies. Jackie’s fellow employees often speculate that
Jackie wraps foil around windows, antennae or anything else
to prevent the government from spying.
Casual business
attire (i.e. oxford
shirt, pants) with
reading glasses.
Optional to have a
business ledger and
a calculator.
Aluminum foil as an
optional prop.

Reese Harvey is the muscle bound personal trainer from
Pinehorn Athletic Training Center. Reese loves to talk about
one thing and one thing only – Reese Harvey. Reese spends
an extraordinary amount of time playing video games with
Ashton Harvey. Reese was a notorious high school bully
many years ago. Unlucky townspeople witness this type of
behavior manifest when Reese doesn’t get his/her way.
Riley Corals is the arrogant and aggressive retired angler.
Riley Corals owns the only marina in town and charges
enormous rates to dock and house boats there. Nobody
receives an invite to the Coral’s mansion on the hill, and the
curious townspeople often wonder what Riley is hiding.
Logan Anthony is the bossy registrar at Pinehorn University.
Logan has a shady past, as s/he was an infamous tyrant
during high school – along with Reese Harvey. Logan’s
reputation hasn’t improved much as s/he spends the days
finding ways to reject the applications of potential students to
the university.
Drew Adel is the highly intellectual social media consultant. A
dependable hard worker, Drew is a true and loyal friend. That
is if Drew’s obsessive-compulsive disorder doesn’t bother you.
You’ll wonder how this crabby, introverted police officer ever
thought s/he could protect and serve the people of Pinehorn.
Surprisingly, Officer Nelson is one of the most highly
decorated officers at the Pinehorn Police Department! One
likely scenario is that Officer Nelson has simply intimidated
everybody at the station, and everybody does as they are told
by Officer Nelson.
Pat Couric is always on top of the latest story and sometimes
before the story happens! Pat’s an ultra-ambitious
investigative reporter for the television station CBC and will
stop at nothing to be first to get the scoop. Pat is rarely seen
without a troupe of colleagues from CBC News.
Workout attire.
Optional to bring
workout rubber
bands and business
cards for Pinehorn
Athletic Training
Center.
Casual attire with a
fisherman’s vest
(with pockets for
lures, etc.) Optional
to wear a captain’s
hat and have fishing
lures (no hooks) as
props.
Casual business
attire (sweater,
pants). Hair and
makeup (if female)
slightly outrageous.
Optional to bring
recruiting materials
for Pinehorn
University.
Casual attire (t-shirt,
jeans). Smart phone
with access to social
media sites (i.e.
Facebook. Twitter,
etc.) as an optional
prop.
Police uniform.
Optional to have fake
guns, handcuffs, as
props.
Casual business
attire (i.e. oxford
shirt, pants). An
optional microphone
and notepad as
props

*IMPORANT INFORMATION REGARDING CHARACTER ASSIGNMENTS:
Assign your most definite RSVPs and outgoing guests to the required characters and the more tentative,
shy/reserved guests for the optional characters. To figure out who will be a ‘definite RSVP’, it is highly
suggested to send a ‘save the date’ email out to your prospective guests way in advance of the party date so
you can either eliminate those guests from your list who can’t make it (and therefore you will not assign them to
ncels on you at the last minute? First, take a deep breath…it’s not the end of the world.
1. If you have an extra optional player that is coming to the party - give them a call and tell them they’ll
need to switch characters. Hopefully, this isn’t the day of the party because no doubt, this player has
his/her costume ready. However, you can allow them to wear the costume that they purchased or
created, as their nametag will let the other guests know whom they are playing during the party. This
isn’t a game with elaborate costumes.
2. No optional characters playing the game? Don’t panic. You will have to give us a call if you want to
[email protected] (we make every attempt to monitor this email throughout the
weekends and holidays) so we can tell you if your murderer / victim are still intact. We can tell you
what to do if a certain required character cancels and you don’t have an optional character
replacement. It might be all right as it is and if this is the case, you’ll need to post the missing required
character’s clue on a wall for each round and just explain to the other guests what the deal is – “you’re
missing a required player but all of the information is available to the guests in this character’s clue
cards.” (Post the missing players’ clue card at the designated time for each round along with the other
players - not all at once!)
Full game instructions
are available in the
purchased game
3. If you don’t care about the surprise and / or have already looked at who the murderer (& victim) is by
viewing the clue cards, simply ensure they are still playing. The victim is disclosed through their Round
Two clue card and the murderer is disclosed on the Round Three solution card. You might need to
switch one required character over to play the no-show murderer (or victim). If you do this, do as
described in #2 and post the missing character’s clue cards on the wall during each round. You can
add comedy to this situation and make a stuffed dummy of this character. Post the clues to where the
chest would be or in the hands! You’ll be surprised as your guests might start to ‘mingle’ with this effigy
in good humor.

DEVONSHIRE MANOR HOST DIRECTIVES
Get ready for a fun time at the Devonshire Manor in the town of Pinehorn with your purchase of the The
Harvey’s Volume 1: Murder at Devonshire Manor game from mymysteryparty.com! This party is an exciting
murder mystery where the players act the roles of intriguing personalities while sleuthing the captivating story
line. You can never go wrong with a MY MYSTERY PARTY game for any occasion!
The party pack (this document) needs to be printed in advance of the party. Cut out the clues, 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 and you can purchase the exact amount needed for your game on
the www.MyMysteryparty.com site in the Mystery Prop Emporium section. For economy’s sake, an
alternative is to scroll the clues and fasten with a ribbon. Be sure to label the outside of each scroll with the
character/round. In these instructions, however, we will assume you are using the envelope method for each
character, each round.
Full game instructions
are available in the
purchased game
If you do not want to know the solution, do not view the final round of clues or the final answer key at the end of
this document. For a complete surprise, you can elect the pre-printed ‘party ready’ party pack option from the
mymysteryparty.com site and we will send you the clues in sealed envelopes and the rest of prepared game
documents –‘ready to go’ (this is an additional charge since we utilize our paper, ink, envelopes, labor, etc.).
We also offer mystery props on the My Mystery Party site in the Prop Emporium including a thunderstorm
ambiance 10 minute sound wav to play in the background, authentic crime scene barrier tape, crime scene

balloons, mystery investigation pens, white face makeup for the victim, victim t-shirts, and even instrumental
rap beats as a downloadable mp3 for the optional but highly suggested bonus game rap contest. There is a
‘Do You Think You Can You Dance’ mp3 track for the Do You Think You Can Dance challenge as well.
The game is organized into four rounds and is structured as follows:
OPTIONAL PRE-GAME TASKS & STARTERS: these optional pre-game starters and task sheets are to be delivered
to each guest before the party or give them to the guests as they arrive. All pre-game materials are optional
and do not alter the mystery and are intended to enhance the pre-game build up for the event. These starters
and tasks are not vital to solving the mystery and omission of them does not alter the mystery in any way.
APPETIZER (COCKTAILS 4 ADULTS) HOUR / ROUND ONE: Deliver these clues as your guests arrive.
DINNER HOUR / ROUND TWO: Deliver these clues while you serve dinner (optional) to your guests.
DESSERT, AND THE BIG REVEAL/ SOLUTION ROUND THREE: Deliver these clues with coffee/hot cocoa and
dessert.
Note: you do NOT have to serve dinner, this is only suggested and the instructions tell you ‘when’ to serve it
and what to do around the time you serve it. You also do not have to serve dessert – again, it is only a
suggestion. You can simply skip both without a problem and just serve snacks/appetizers the entire time.

OPTIONAL PRE-GAME STARTER
Before the party, encourage your guests to view the Your Mystery Party www.YourMysteryParty.com/toga website or use the free printable My Mystery Party invitations as they
have the character descriptions included and a link (web address) to the Your Mystery Party website.
This way, before the party, they can get familiar with the other characters that will be at the party as well as the
history of the town and more! There are also hidden/subtle hints about characters throughout the page so
those guests who choose to be ‘super sleuthers’ can spend some time studying the Your Mystery
Party site prior to the party.
The free, downloadable invitations are located on the item page where you first purchased this game. Scroll to
the bottom of the page and click on the link that says ‘free, downloadable invitation’ to download the pdf file.
Fill in your information in the text fields and either print or save to your hard drive. You can email these invites
to your guests to save paper costs.
This optional pre-game round is to be implemented approximately one week before the party. Please note that
this round is designed to generate pre-game excitement and is not necessary to solve the mystery. The ways
to deliver these starters are as follows:

ROUND TWO – DAUNTING DINNER HOUR
PRE-GAME SET UP: In the nearest bathroom, place the following items under the sink - the victim sign,
scotch tape, host supplied white non-toxic face makeup (optional but funny and suggested), and also include
the victim t-shirt and / or crime scene tape if you have purchased these items (again, optional but funny and
suggested). If there is not a cabinet under the sink, place these items in any location that can be concealed
within that bathroom. The victim will be instructed in their clue card for round two to look for it if there is not a
cabinet under the sink. The victim will be instructed in their round two clue card - after the pre-murder clues
have been implemented and as the host reads the results of the scramble challenge - to go to the
nearest restroom to become the victim by applying the white face makeup on their face (optional), using
Scotch tape to adhere the victim sign to their chest and if the optional victim t-shirt is available - to put that on
(with the victim sign on top) and if the optional authentic crime scene barrier tape is there - to decorate
themselves with it. It is hilarious when the guests see the fully decorated victim!

CONCLUSION OF THE ROUND: At the conclusion of this round, give the guests a time period (i.e. 5-10
minutes) in which to fill in their final guesses as to whodunit on the 'Murder Mystery Investigation Sheet' .
Collect the guess sheets from your guests at the conclusion of this round.
You collect them so the guests do not get tempted to change their original guesses of whodunit once they hear
what others have to say during the accusation round. If you trust your guests won’t change their answers &/or there is no
pride or end of the game prizes on the line – there’s no need to collect the murder mystery investigation sheets from your
guests.
PROP LIST: These are props needed for this round. Collect these items in advance and have them ready!

who they believe the MURDERER is and how they did it. Instruct them to also tell the group their guess of the
MURDERER‘S motive. If you are having an awards ceremony using the awards certificates available on the My
Mystery Party site in the mystery props section, you can use this round as the final decision maker on the
Best Actor/Actress award.

HELPFUL HINTS ON HOW TO PLAY A MYSTERY PARTY
GUEST INSTRUCTIONS
You’ve been assigned a character and you’ve come to the party dressed in the most awesome
costume and have been told to play your role. Now what?
The mystery is separated into three main rounds of party play. During the party, you will
receive an envelope that contains the clues necessary for your character for the round. The
clues for the characters at the party provide everything that you need to solve the mystery.
However, during the investigation segment of the game, you will need to ask the right
questions and pay close attention to everyone’s clues to get the whole picture of what has
happened.
Full game instructions are
available in the purchased
game
From this point forward, you are to remain in character until the mystery is solved. If you are
playing a ‘hypocritical police officer,’ then that is who you are until the end! Undoubtedly,
your host cast you into a character that you are comfortable playing. Some characters are
designed to be played more reserved than other characters. Feel free to play your role in any
manner that you feel comfortable. Embellish your character’s personality if you would like.
However, if you are feeling more reserved tonight, you can opt to allow the other guests to
approach you or you can simply listen in on others’ conversations to get your information.

OPTIONAL PRE-GAME TASKS:
Cut the task strips out below and slip them into envelopes (with or without the
tickets above). Below on the pre-game task sheets, fill in your guests’ preferred contact information (i.e. email, phone) so they will be
able to contact each other. If you are playing with the expandable players, only give each ‘team leader’ a pre-game task sheet. Give
the contact information for their respective expandable team members and ask that they forward any correspondence they receive and
/or copy their team member on any emails/text messages sent to other players. IMPORTANT: If any of the optional players are not
being played in your game, write ‘DISREGARD THIS TASK’ in the contact information space. 
CHARACTER NAME IS HERE
OPTIONAL - for some pre-party fun, contact (email, phone, etc.) the following guests in the week leading up to the party:
Contact the guest playing Furen Feathers and say that you are so glad that Pinehorn finally has a veterinarian! You
were tired of driving thirty minutes away to Celtic Falls to get your fish treated for depression!
(Contact info :___________________________________________________________________________________)
Each character will have a
pregame task sheet in the
purchased game
Contact the guest playing Riley Corals and say that your father said some things had been shuffled around in his boat
that was parked in his boat slip at Riley’s marina. Does Riley have security at the marina?
(Contact info :__________________________________________________________________________________)
Please note: either contacting the guests above or deciding to skip these tasks will not alter the mystery or
anyone's ability to solve the mystery in anyway. However, contacting other guests will lead to excitement about
the party and will encourage other guests to read about the other characters and be prepared for serious fun!

Page 11
ROUND ONE CLUES – CUT OUT, SLIP INTO ENVELOPES AND LABEL WITH THE CHARACTER AND ROUND.

CHARACTER NAME IS HERE – ROUND ONE
CLUES TO REVEAL DURING THIS ROUND
During this round, mingle with other guests to discuss the following information with whomever you choose:
You are a huge fan of the band Armpit Anguish. Speak to Parker Tankus about how the band is doing. Talk to
him/her about his/her band’s new song In Love with a Puffer Fish.
The flu has been going around town lately and you don’t want to catch it. The symptoms are a high fever, chills
and muscle aches. No nausea and vomiting, but the fever, chills and aches are enough to keep sanitizer on your
hands!
You are in excellent physical shape as you are a Zoomba Fitness instructor at the Pinehorn Recreation Center.
PERSONAL CLUES TO CONCEAL
Each character will have a
round one clue card in the
purchased game
Your character is the highly intellectual social media consultant. You are dependable and loyal and are a great
friend. However, you do suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder and that tends to drive your friends crazy
when you have an attack.
You do use your clients Twitter and Facebook accounts to market your services. You haven’t been caught yet,
but it is working because you are getting more clients without having to pay for advertising.
During the mystery, your character must be honest and not make up any potentially mystery-altering clues in addition to
those provided to you. You do not, however, have to share the clues that you collect with other guests.
Copyright © mymysteryparty.com
Page 12
ROUND 2 CLUES – cut out, slip into envelopes and label with the character and round.
Character name is here - ROUND TWO
Pre-Murder Clues
You recently had an art sculpture of a large, steel graduation cap installed by CHARACTER NAME at your
home office where you conduct most of your business – including where you negotiate bribery deals for
potential students to be accepted into Pinehorn University. Should you be concerned? Ask around to see
what others think about it.
You should confess to a few people that you trust about your bribery deals. You think you will feel better if you
get it off your chest. Bottling up such stress can be difficult. However, only tell the people you trust.
A few people seem stressed right now. Find out what their problems are and see if you can help.
Post- Murder Evidence & Alibi (Blood Type AB-)
A good strategy would be to put together a time line to see where everybody was prior to and during the time
of the murder. This will eliminate a number of suspects who couldn’t have committed the crime because they
have the alibi of being in the Magnolia Ballroom!
At a crime scene, there could be more than one blood type discovered. If this is the case here, the second
blood type that doesn’t match the victim might belong to the murderer.
You have no alibi if your fingerprints are on the murder weapon.
You did go out into the hallway to make a call about 10 minutes prior to the victim leaving the Magnolia
Ballroom. However, you were only gone for 2 minutes.
You know that CHARACTER NAME AND CHARACTER NAME were not in the Magnolia Ballroom around the
time the victim was murdered.
Each character will have a
round two clue card in the

FINAL SOLUTION ROUND THREE – READ WHEN YOU ARE TOLD IT IS YOUR TURN.
When it is your turn, say the following to the group:
“Yea, I figured out tonight that I was probably about to be blackmailed. I do accept bribes to get into Pinehorn
University. Nevertheless, that’s how the other big league colleges do it - so why not us? Peyton was most likely
recording all of my bribes through that steel graduation cap sculpture she installed in my home but I suppose I am safe
now. Well, that is until the cops get all of her tapes at his/her home. Wait, I gotta go! I’ve got some tapes to destroy!”
The following characters are to read their solutions next in this order:
(Skip over characters that are not guests at this party and go to the next).

The following is the order in which the characters are to read their final solutions during the solution round.
Please note that if you are using the expansion pack(s), you will need to refer to the expansion pack instructions
