The Watersdown Affair
A How to Host a Murder Mystery Dinner Party Game
By
separate invitation, you and a select few others have been invited to Watersdown Mansion
as the weekend guests of Sir Roger Watersdown. As Sir Roger's guest, I thought you might
be interested in some information about the mansion and, perhaps, about the other guests
that will be present during your stay. I have enclosed a brief biography of each guest.
Watersdown Mansion is an old, elegant stone building situated in Yorkshire, England, and
constructed in 1817. The original owner, Lord Balmy Farfrummit, made his fortune selling
English pig iron to the French after Bonaparte's defeat in 1815. Roger Watersdown acquired
the entire Farfrummit holdings in 1925 after the tragic death of Viscount Farfrummit
aboard his sailing yacht, Frummit's Ferry, which foundered during a fierce storm off
Falmouth Harbor. Sir Roger, as you may know, is the principal shareholder of the giant
conglomerate Watersdown Beverages Ltd., and known far and wide as a jovial host. Female
guests are cautioned that Sir Roger, after consumption of his customary evening cocktails,
tends to become something of a letch. I welcome you on behalf of Sir Roger and the entire
Watersdown Mansion household, and I hope your stay will be a pleasant one.
