Mini-Mysteries (A.K.A. "Scene of the Crime")
A shorter time-frame than the Standard mysteries. They run about 1 1/2 - 2 hours, and will accommodate up to about 40 people. In this version, the death has already happened.
we have a small model of a crime scene which the guests are encouraged to examine. Some clues are already posted on the boards at the start of the event, and more are added throughout.
Police reports, witness statements and, of course, the autopsy. There is a detective character on hand and some other characters to talk to as well.
If the budget allows for the full slate of actors - investigation progresses as with the standard mysteries with interrogations of the suspects.
If the budget does not allow for the suspects - we simply say that the 4 suspects are "at police headquarters giving their statements". When the statements come in, we have volunteers read the statements on mic, then we post them on the boards for the guests to examine.
Theme: Observational reception-style mini mystery
Venue Requirements:

Scene of the Crime: The Cold-Hearted Stepmother
A cold winter night in 1946. Mrs. Grayson hosted a tea party for her late husband’s four adult children. Angry words were heard, and later, when her maid and butler came into the room to clear the dishes after tea, Mrs. Grayson was found dead on the floor. There was no one else in the room at the time her body was discovered. A logic-puzzle to determine where everyone was at the time of the murder, and who had the opportunity to commit the deed.
Scene of the Crime: Trace Evidence
Modern day - Summertime. Mr. Harlan Fenton was found dead in his home office after he failed to appear for supper. Trace evidence was found on doors, windows and the file cabinet. This is a more of a CSI / forensics style of mystery where the guests solve the crime by comparing fingerprint reports and lab reports of fibres and residues.
