Nutmeg Vant is a legendary movie star that was shipwrecked a few years ago and stranded on a
deserted tropical island with six strangers. Immediately after her news-breaking rescue, her butler, Theodore
Winsington, III, contacted Blissity Lovewell and requested that she host a smashing shindig in honor of her
safe return at Nutmeg’s fabulous Hollywood mansion. Once the guests arrived, they got the party switched on
with some smashing party games and groovy cocktails and of course, juicy gossip.
After dining on a delicious meal, the guests mingled and engaged in more fun party games. With all the
peace and love in the air, nobody would have expected what happened next…murder!
The guests rallied together to figure out what had happened before the murderer could escape. After a
thorough investigation, the guests submitted their guess for whodunit. Then, they discussed their involvement
with the murder and the killer finally confessed! Other than the horrible homicide, the party was a gas, baby,
yeah!

CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
COSTUME
SUGGESTIONS
Blissity Lovewell is a mysterious covert operative
from the UK and best friend of Nutmeg Vant. On
occasion, she’s joined forces with Boston Flowers
and attempted to apprehend the international
villain, Silverballs, but the duo hasn’t stopped him
yet! An inexplicable anomaly, this beautiful spy is
the deadliest marksmen in the world—but the
most congenial lady you’ll ever meet—that is,
unless you’re the target of her trusty sniper rifle.
‘60s multi-colored mini
dress with a toy gun
held in a garter belt
worn on the thigh.
Hair teased and
heavily hair-sprayed
into a ‘60s style
bouffant with a
matching hair band.
Mr. Theodore Winsington, III is the estranged
butler to the glamorous film star, Nutmeg Vant.
While she was stranded on a deserted tropical
island for years with six strangers, Theodore lived
like the rich and famous and spent a chunk of
Nutmeg’s fortune. Since she returned to her
Hollywood mansion, things between them are
tense. Theodore is not the most fun person to be
around, as his intense pessimism repels people.
However, he is a master manipulator and knows
how to stay on top of sticky situations.
Butler uniform.
Optional: carry around
a silver tray with
appetizers and serve
them to the guests
during the first round
of the party.
Nutmeg Vant is an ultra-famous Hollywood film
star. Previously stranded on a desert island with
six strangers for many years, she has recently
returned home to her mansion in Hollywood,
California. Nutmeg is spoiled and indulges in the
finest things that life has to offer. If it has sequins
and feathers, she’s wearing it—if there’s caviar
and expensive champagne, she’s there!
A colorful and
glamorous evening
gown with a matching
feather boa. Hair
should be ‘60s style
and utterly
sensational.
Billigan is the fumbling first mate on the S.S.
Sardine tour ship. Many years ago, the ship took
an unexpected ocean tumble during a violent
storm, deserting the passengers and crew on an
uninhabited tropical island. During the time on the
island, Billigan and Nutmeg Vant grew very close.
Since the rescue, things haven’t been the same
between them—Nutmeg won’t even return his
phone calls. Sweet as can be, Billigan is the most
loyal friend you can have!
Known as the International Man of Intrigue,
Boston Flowers is a top secret CIA agent and
archenemy of the international villain known as
Silverballs. Boston is a close friend to Blissity
Lovewell, often working with her on top secret
international missions. Boston is known for his
overly hairy chest and lack of oral hygiene, but
ladies are magnetized to his charming personality.
Since Wiggy could walk, she’s been addicted to
the spotlight and fashion runways! This ultra-thin
super model is known for her stunning
appearance and her keen fashion sense—both on
and off the runway. If Wiggy is wearing it, it’s the
hippest thing around!
White bucket hat, long
red sleeve shirt and
white pants. Can
carry around a
coconut as a prop.
Velvet Leisure suit
with tons of chest hair
pouring out of it. A

and tongue’s raring to give a lashing! Known for
his aggressive behavior, the media targets him
and catches his every move.

being obnoxious—but he simply can’t help who he
is.

pregame
OPTIONAL - for some pre-party fun, you can contact (email, phone, etc.) the following guests in the week leading
up to the party:
Contact the guest playing Theodore Winsington, III, and tell him that you only agreed to be the hostess because
Nutmeg is your friend and you don’t trust Theodore around her. You’re watching him…through your rifle scope.
(Contact info:____________________________________)
Contact the guest playing Miloslava Vladmira and tell her that you heard that Boston Flowers had a crush on her.
He is not the chivalrous type and he didn’t protect you from a flying shoe and that is why you broke up with him.

anyone's ability to solve the mystery in anyway. However, contacting other guests will lead to excitement
about the party and will encourage other guests to read about the other characters and be prepared for

• Deny plans of quitting the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
• Tell Blissity Lovewell you are sorry that you didn’t catch that shoe that Silverballs, the notorious
international villain you two were chasing, threw at her face. You were just shocked because… ‘Who
throws a shoe?’ He simply caught you off guard, baby, yeah.
• Excessively flirt with all women at the party (if you feel comfortable doing so). You believe you have

yeah, baby!”

quarters at Nutmeg Vant’s mansion. You are aware Theodore used to be a biochemist before he became

is a big square for how he treated Miloslava Vladmira when they ended their relationship.

PRE-MURDER CLUES:
Tell Boston you will set him up with Miloslava, but that Silverballs, the international villain that he has been
chasing for years, is actually Miloslava’s cousin. That might be a problem. You didn’t want to say anything
earlier because you thought it was hilarious.
Tell Billigan that ‘he is dead to you’ since he chose to not be friends with you anymore because of his
instant fame. He will regret losing his most loyal friend.
POST-MURDER CLUES:
Could one person have done all of that to the victim or was it two killers? If it was two, did they work
together or separately?
Figure out the cause of death first.
You are not certain that “Character’s name removed” was in the room when the victim died. S/he is the
one who discovered the body. Could that be an obvious cover? Did s/he have a motive?
CLUE TO CONCEAL: You did have a motive to kill the victim. You are not in the clear.
