The invitations went out, stamped with a mysterious wax seal, inviting one and all to a party at Pembroke's house. Little did they all know, that this would be a party that they would never forget...   The party began well enough, it was a fancy soiree, and everyone dressed the part, looking fancy in their outfits and snacking on fancy snacks. The would be host, Mr Primrose, had greeted all his guests, but no one had seen him for a while.... that was until the party was interrupted by the lights turning off, and a scream! After a moment of confusion, the lights came back on, and there was the host, poor Mr Primrose, "dead"!   The crowd gasped, but there was no real alarm you see, as all the guests had been informed via their invitations that this evenings party was to be a Murder Mystery Party! Mr Primrose winked at them from his position on the floor, while Professor Citrene stepped forward.   "Egads!" cried professor Citrene, reading off an index card, "We better find some clues to solve this mystery!"

Welcome to Pembroke's murder mystery party!

This month, everyone is invited to Pembroke (aka Mr Primrose)'s Murder Mystery Party! A swanky soiree with a fun mystery to solve, can you collect all the clues and solve the mystery of the "murder" of Mr Primrose? Pembroke hopes that you all have fun solving his fake murder, he will be on the floor playing dead if you have any questions. Maybe bring him a snack since he can't get up to get one himself.

The event activities are as follows: The Scavenger Hunt, The Puzzles, and the Password Guessing Game!

This event will run until the end of the day on October 31st, 2024

The Scavenger Hunt

The first way to earn event points is by finding them hidden across our site! There are 10 clues hidden around the site!

All the hunt targets are identical and award the same item, The Mysterious Clue, which can be opened in your inventory to award 5 Event points and One Raffle Ticket Each!

Some things to note about the scavenger hunt:

• The Clues will not be hidden on Character Masterlist Entries or Member Profiles
• Do not share the locations or links to any of the magic pockets with others, or give hints to others. This is considered cheating, anyone found doing so will recieve a warning
• Please be respectful of other people's experiences when discussing the scavenger hunt, including discussing how "hard" or "easy" a location may be, since everyone will have a different experience!

The Puzzles

The Second way to earn event points is by solving the following 5 Puzzles, which include a few riddles, a cipher, and more! When you think you have the answer to one (or more) of the puzzles below, submit a claim with the number of the puzzle, and the answer! Each puzzle is worth 5 event points and one Raffle Ticket, and members have unlimited guesses (so don't be afraid to guess!) 

Some things to note about the puzzles:

• All the puzzles are home made! You won't be able to google the riddles for answers :3
• Do not share any answers or give any hints for any of the puzzles below. This is considered cheating, anyone found doing so will recieve a warning
• Please be respectful of other people's experiences when discussing the puzzles, including discussing how "hard" or "easy" they are or give any hints about any of the components of the puzzles, even vague ones!
• I will be keeping an eye on puzzle answers, so if a hint is needed, hints will be posted as the month goes on

The Password Guessing Game

The final way to earn tickets is a community activity! Pembroke has chosen 5 Passwords, and the community needs to work together to guess them by asking yes or no questions to figure out the passwords! When you think you know one of the passwords, submit a claim with the number of the password, and the answer! Each password is worth 5 event points and one Raffle Ticket, and members have unlimited guesses (so don't be afraid to guess!) 

Password Guessing Game rules/guidelines:

• Members can only ask Yes or No questions, and will only recieve the following answers: yes, no, maybe, probably, probably not, or unknown
  • Any yes or no question is fair game, except asking directly what the password is. For example, "Is it password?" will not be answered
• Members can only ask 2 total questions per day, you may ask your questions on the same password, or on two different passwords
  • Provie will try to respond to questions at least once a day, please be patient! If your question is not answered before the next day,  you may ask your new questions the next day
  • Remember, you are working together! So review previous questions, start out with more general questions, and then narrow it down together!
• Each password has a vague hint accompanying it, but don't let them lead you astray, some may only be tangentially related!
