The Case Of The Missing Matchmaker
 |
There are the following sections on this page:
Note: Not suitable for young teens. There is nothing offensive in this kit. But some of the concepts we thought might be a bit too adult for young teens (there is a married couple who have had trouble having children for physiological reasons). Note: Besides the usual mystery, there is also a matching game for the meet and mingle version.

Darlene Hickle has gone missing. The fact that she rarely listened to what anyone told her did nothing to improve her matchmaking business. Her success at mis-matching people reached its greatest height when her computer database crashed. Darlene saw no need to tell anyone of this. Instead she randomly matched couples based on a printout she had of their names and addresses.
And now – it has been discovered that she has mysteriously disappeared. She had her company insured and the insurance company has sent Eileen Evensong – a private eye – to investigate.

The people present are:
Eileen Evensong
– A private eye (not a suspect)
Although divorce snooping is my specialty, I have also been employed
in a number of other cases involving missing persons. Because of my
rather unusual career, I am still single. Men don't like the idea that
I might find out everything about them.
Benson Hickle
–
Brother of Darlene
With six university degrees, not under my belt (as I dropped out of
all of them), I can't get a job in any field of any significance and
my life has not been very successful so far. I'm certainly not dumb.
I just haven't found my true direction yet.
Melinda Muscat
–
Trainee nun
I am marrying God and I'm wracked with pre-marital doubt. I'm worried
I've got too many bad habits to wear this one.
Clarence
Kane
– A park-bench hobo
I used to collect trash. Now I sleep in it - that is when I'm not sleeping
on a park bench in the middle of the city and earning my living from
collecting cans. I'm fond of singing the blues. They suit my mood.
Suzie Bamberger
–
A psychologist – new wife of Steve
I'm a very good psychologist. I can calm down a stressed city worker
faster than you can boil water. Counseling is my thing and I'm up on
all the latest methods. I'm also mad about cats.
Steve Bamberger
–
A sports instructor – husband of Suzie
I'm a very good Sports Instructor. I teach young boys basketball, which
is very healthy. I love children and in my spare time I help out at
an orphanage.
Jasmine Reid
–
Music teacher – girlfriend of Shaun
Although I work in a conservative school teaching bored girls how to
blow into recorders, at the weekends I play jazz rock violin in a band
with Shaun and we're hoping to release a CD later in the year. I also
teach private students.
Shaun Goller
–
A music bookshop assistant – boyfriend of Jasmine
I can make my synthesizer wail like a whale and I also like singing
with my band. I work at a specialist music bookshop. I'm classically
trained.
Sadie Southport
–
A reporter for a local TV station – girlfriend of Gary
I'm a very ambitious local TV reporter. I'm constantly networking as
I intend to have my own TV show and really do something good for the
world. I love reading philosophy. I also enjoy playing the flute.
Gary Balana
–
A computer programmer – boyfriend of Sadie
My natural talent for numbers and programming landed me a well paid
job as an IT computer programmer and my career is going well. But I'm
not very socially adept, so I don't have many friends, or to be honest
any friends at all. I love watching sport on TV and taking very long
baths.
Judi Wurtzel
–
Director of a baby equipment hire center – new wife of Ian
I run my own baby equipment hire business and I'm extremely conscious
of my role in the community and on the power of word of mouth recommendations.
I love making my place look homely. I also enjoy cooking.
Ian Wurtzel
– Architect – new husband of Judi
I'm a well-respected architect - the best in town. I love classical
music and relaxing in the fabulous hot tub I designed.
Sadie: "You can imagine how disappointed
I felt when I discovered after we had been going out for a while that
Gary shares his bath with ten rubber ducks and has the mental age of a
two year old."
Laura Thorp
"We enjoyed it! The night was a great success. Everyone really portrayed their personas well and got into the spirit of it. One guy arrived and was so in-character that we had a struggle to tell him that he was early and that noone else was there yet as we were laughing so hard!"
