Get a Clue Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt and Chili Cook Off

Miss Scarlet in the Ballroom with the Dagger. Or was it Colonel Mustard in the Hall with the Wrench? We all know this childhood game and have spent many family nights solving the mysteries.
Belle Grove Plantation is taking it to the next level!

No dices to roll, no moving around a board. Team up with one of our characters and find the clues to solve the mystery. Our Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt will not only take place at Belle Grove Plantation, but clues will be located throughout the King George and Carolina County.

Miss Scarlet is a madam who operates an illegal brothel and escort service in Washington, D.C. She has dirt on most of Washington’s power players. This is the only way for her to stay in business. But in recent years, she has become greedy and has been blackmailing most of Washington.

Professor Plum is an Experimental Physicist Genius with an ago to match. He loves nothing better than to prove others wrong. He has made it his life mission to prove that Mr. Green is a complete fraud. Professor Plum has one weakness, Miss Scarlet. He spends his down time at her brothel until she got tired of his “checking out the goods, but not making any purchases”.

Mrs. Peacock is the wife of a senator who has accepted bribes to deliver her husband’s vote. However, she claims she is innocent and she must pay blackmail money to avoid the story being used for a political witch hunt. Mrs. White and Mrs. Peacock do not get along. They see each other at Washington DC Social Parties and spend most of the time spreading lies about each other.

Mr. Green is an environmentalist physicist who makes his living in finding ways to stop global warming. His new book, “It’s True”, is on the New York Best Seller List and talks about how global warming is destroying the world. Professor Plum has made it his mission to proof that global warming is a crock. Professor Plum has recently found out that Mr. Green isn’t much of an environmentalist in his own life and is just riding the current trend to make a profit.

Colonel Mustard works at the Pentagon and is the President’s advisor on the Middle East. He is being blackmailed for scandalous pictures with one of Miss Scarlet’s employees. Early in his career, he was a war profiteer who made his money from taking bribes and underwriting over prices parts for the military.

Mrs. White is the wife of a senator who is considering a run for the White House. The senator is her second husband and they have only been married for a short time. Her first husband, a physicist died in Miss Scarlet’s brothel under suspicious circumstances. What no know knows with the exception of Miss Scarlet is Mrs. White once worked for Miss Scarlet. This is where she met her second husband.
