Welcome to our sixth newsletter. Just to let you know our news first:

  • We are now selling "The Silicon Valley Scandal" mystery dinner party kit ourselves rather than through Sherlock Investing (see silicon.htm for details). We have also added a version for 13.
  • We have added an excerpt from the mystery on the page describing each kit.
  • We have finished writing a new Christian mystery called "The Search For The Truth"(see truth.htm for details) and it is available for sale.
  • We are planning to host a free international mystery dinner party using PC video cameras and the ICQ chat program. Send us an email to info@merrimysteries.com if you would like to be in the audience (no camera required) or to participate in a role (you must have a PC video cam).

In this issue, we have articles about:

Decoration special prize

I recently received a photo from Gordon Andrews in Northern Ireland taken at a party hosted by Ann Green. It shows a mural she and her daughter Jacqui had painted to hang on the dining room wall (see below). It was of the back of a boat cruising through the waters - perfect for the "Trouble on Board" mystery dinner they were playing. I have decided to award Ann a free dinner party kit in reward for her efforts. If you have done something special or if there is someone in an outstanding costume at your party, please send me a photo. If I print it in the next newsletter, you will receive a free kit too.

Our photo competition winners

We had such wonderful entries in the photo competition that we have decided to present three free kits rather than just one. We are commencing a new competition with a closing date of 1 June 2001 (see photos.htm for details). The winners for this last competition are:

  • David Camus with pictures from his "Poetic Justice" party
  • Kim Hancock with a picture from her "Murder of the Great Chef" party
  • Ralph Eschenbach with pictures from his "Murder in Outer Space" party (this mystery is no longer for sale).

David's party

Here is some feedback David sent in regarding his "Poetic Justice" party for his girlfriend's 30th birthday. Please note that David bought this kit before it was modified to be only 3 acts instead of 4, that is why his party took a bit longer than this kit normally takes now.

"Well Lisa's Party was just fantastic.....Poetic Justice was a set to be seen in Brisbane, Australia. It was a complete surprise for Lisa (except for the fact she thought we were going to a fancy dress ball). I changed the whole appearance of the house...Hundreds of candles, silver cutlery and service, And the game began. Everone just fell into their parts and the evening went for 4 hours of incredible fun thanks to the well written and wonderful ideas imposed by yourselves and once the game had ended no one wanted to stop so we carried on. We had a full house and as you will see from the photos, endless laughter and fun.

Everyone dressed up and it was a wonderful night.

Thank you a million times.

Everyone keeps asking when am I holding the next one.....Well I just need an excuse.....Whose birthday is next!!!!!!!
