How to Host a Murder: The Watersdown Affair
Guests are invited to Watersdown Mansion, an old stone estate in Yorkshire, for a weekend hosted by Sir Roger Watersdown. Among the assembled visitors are members of the household and a varied group of guests, each with personal histories and possible motives. Players take on these roles, use the supplied biographies and clues, and investigate the events surrounding a murder by questioning one another and piecing together the evidence. The scenario is designed for group play, with participants acting out their characters and working to uncover the culprit.
