When playing a mystery game there all sorts of possible outcomes! Here’s some of the possibilities that *could* have happened at “The Inauguration of the Scarlet Ribbon Society,” contributed by mystery attendees.
Well our first mystery game has come and gone, and what a fun night it was! We had a full house (even more people than we had expected) come together at the lovely Alumni House mansion for a night of steampunk themed mystery and socializing.
In case you missed it:
The plot
All attendees came together to solve a baffling mystery! Ms. Ellenor Catsby has been seeing money being stolen from her shipping company and not a clue as to how or whom, Ms. Catsby’s assistant Neve Owewe Boulain has called people together to see if they can solve this conundrum! Neve and Ms. Catsby brought the company’s babbage engine and pay ledger to help others sniff out the culprit in addition to other puzzling clues that were found that evening. In attendance were also the following;
-Kalmiya Bines, Ms. Catsby’s security guard
-Arthur, Neve’s man servant
-Professor Daniel Devonshire, University of Kaposia Engineering Professor
-Professor Faustine de Sansonnet, University of Kaposia Astronomy Professor
-Persephone “Poppy” Poppendiche, Prof. Sansonnet’s T.A and University socialite
Among tea, cucumber sandwiches, gossiping, clues, and delightful parlor games, the attendees solved the mystery and found the culprit!
Professor Daniel Devonshire was embezzling money from Ms. Ellenore Catsby! Seeing as Ms. Catsby hired Prof. Devonshire to install the babbage engine for her company, he took this chance to sabotage it and funnel money to himself to fund developing his own calculating device. Prof. Devonshire viewed Charles Babbage as a hack and knew he could do much better. Luckily he was found out, and the accused was escorted out by security guard Kalmiya.
Thank you to all who participated in joining The Scarlet Ribbon Society, we hope to see you again! Go to our facebook page to see more photos that people took from the event!
Our first MN stand alone mystery event was a great success!
It was so much fun to meet other steampunk enthusiasts and people that just wanted to have a fun evening.
While Steam Century winds down and collects ourselves from the event, please stop by our facebook page to see others posting pics and saying how much fun they had!
Check back for a wrap up post about the event.
thecheapchick.com made mention of our mystery event!
They mentioned Steam Century as “low-cost, high-fun event”. We do aim to be affordable to all while being a whole a lot of steamy-fun 🙂
Thanks for the mention!
