There's a house on the edge,
Of the town of Finch's Hollow.
With a killer on the loose,
And a trail for you to follow.
Can you race against the clock,
To stop this deadly planner?
How many can you save when there's
Murder at Scrimshaw Manor?
When seven guests who bear ill will towards one another meet for dinner on a dark and stormy night, murder is on the mind of one. After their first kill, they will be pressed to continue! Only you can uncover the murderer, find out why they did it, and keep them from killing again. Good luck, people of Trisphee!
How does it work?
The first two chapters of the story are available in the beginning. Your job is to read over or listen to them, trying to find clues as to who could possibly wish to murder someone and why. In the beginning it will be daunting, and pinning the killer may prove incredibly difficult until new information comes to light. Each round that the killer gets away adds another round to the story, where they will kill again. While it is sad that they will strike again, each victim leaves behind more evidence pointing to their murderer. Anything could be a clue! In contrast, anything could also be the red herring that sends you in the wrong direction...
How do you play?
After reading, check back through all of the information available to you. Check to see if new evidence has been found in the various rooms throughout the manor. During interrogation periods, you will also be able to interview the guests by submitting questions that will be collected from posts and condensed down into testimony. Once you think you have things correct, you may make your accusation. How do you make an accusation? Follow the skeleton profile below! Fill out the profile and post it in the Murder at Scrimshaw Manor Discussion thread.
Why should I play?
Because you win this for participating, you lug!

No bones about it, this is a swell item, and the only way to get it is to play!
You may freely discuss the murder(s) and investigations with other users, and it is definitely encouraged. You're all on the same side here! Too many wrong submissions or not enough correct information will hinder the investigation and give the killer time to kill again. Too many dead, and the killer will have free reign! Stop the killer, win a cool item, and save the day!
