The Merrymurder Pantocrime

The Merrymurder Pantocrime

Prince Charmless, ruler of Pantomimia, has been holding a succession of grand balls in his aim to find a wife. But at the last ball a terrible tragedy has occurred. The prince's body has been found behind the locked door of the highest tower of Pantomimia palace. Dead, with a sword plunged through his heart. But who murdered him? Nine characters are deemed particularly suspicious...

Please note that being a cross between a murder mystery and a pantomime, there is great scope for cross-dressing in this game. For greatest comic effect, Dame Trot and Tapioca can be played by men. Similarly Jack the Giant Killer and Simple Simon can easily be played by women.
