Synopsis FOR THE HOST – this outlines the suggested flow of the party.
The Oceanside Palace Hotel of Maui was hosting their nightly luau on Sunset Beach. Exciting Polynesian spirit filled the
air as the guests were greeted and presented with festive Hawaiian leis. Everybody mingled while enjoying delicious
appetizers. The hosts kicked off the celebration with awesome challenges such as ‘What Summer Thing am I,’ P.G.A.
(Poolside Golf Association) Tournament, Super Saturated Sweatshirt Relay and Ping Pong Madness. During the games,
it became apparent that some of the guests didn’t get along too well and that some were hiding pretty big secrets. The
hotel staff got the party back on track with a delicious Hawaiian dinner while the guests worked in teams on the Totally
Sunny Movie Challenge. With stuffed bellies, the luau participants mingled and to everyone’s horror, a dead body was
discovered! There was a killer among them that needed to be caught immediately before they got away! The guests
rallied together and underwent a thorough investigation including a fiber analysis provided by the local police department.
Only taking short breaks to relieve the stress of the investigation, they engaged in exciting games such as Top Chef
Poolside Guacamole, Shove a Duck, Treacherous Sharks and Swashbucklin' Pirates and the Tourist Vs. Natives Relay.
Once everyone had their final guess of whodunit, they took turns accusing each other. Everyone came clean with their
involvement in the crime, if they even had any. Everyone was shocked when the murderer – seeing no other alternative –
confessed! After a brave escape attempt by the killer, the party guests enjoyed a delectable dessert and reflected on the
evening’s exciting events! It was definitely a luau that the guests will remember forever!

Poni Mulokeli is the hard working performer for the
Oceanside Palace Hotel Luaus on Sunset Beach.
She’s an obnoxious one-upper who’s not the most
popular employee among the staff of the hotel!
Extended chats with this feisty entertainer are
definitely worth avoiding - if you know what is good
for you.
Robbie Peters is a Hollywood hunk who is currently
vacationing - in total disguise - for a month in Hawaii
with his co-star Kirstin Withers. They’re relaxing in
between films - hidden far from the paparazzi. But
Robbie’s narcissism and arrogant attitude are a little
much for the laid back staff of the Oceanside Palace
Hotel. Robbie is traveling under the alias ‘Harry
Spotter.’
Kirstin Withers is known as one of Hollywood’s nicest
young stars. At least that’s the side of Kirstin that
Hollywood’s seen! On a more personal level, away
from the glitz and glam, this spoiled diva lets it loose
with angry tirades if she doesn’t get her way. She’s
currently in disguise as an average Jane and she
doesn’t like it much, as she doesn’t get the attention
she does as a movie star. Kirstin is traveling under
the alias ‘Paula Jaxson.’
Tiki Hutman was born in Southern California but
moved to Maui when he was only eight years old.
He grew up on the Maui beaches and is the head
lifeguard at the Oceanside Palace Hotel’s Sunset
Beach. Tiki is known for his innovative dance moves
and outgoing personality. He’s the one to get a party
started – but hopefully, not while on duty! The locals
are starting to worry that Tiki might be losing his
edge as a lifeguard.
Lovey Powell is the billionaire heiress that spends
her pampered life vacationing in exotic locations.
One of her many mansions around the world is
located on the beautiful island of Maui and she refers
to it as home base. Lovey often stays at the resorts
on the beach to flaunt her money. She considers
everyone to be subservient to her. Bossy is her
middle name!

Jack Marrow is quite the odd character. Originally
hailing from the bayous of Southern Louisiana, Jack
is currently traveling the world in search of the best
deep sea fishing. He recently had to take a job
hosting deep sea fishing excursions, as he ran out of
cash during his month-long scheduled vacation and
couldn’t make it home to the mainland. Jack is
famous for his pirate impersonations and prefers to
be called Captain Jack Marrow.
Coco Beaches is the seemingly naive college student
from the University of Northern Texas. She won her
trip to Hawaii as part of a Hawaiian trivia challenge
on a local radio station. Coco appears to be void of
all common sense but claims to have earned a 4.0
GPA thus far in her pursuit of a biochemistry degree.
No matter what her academic status truly is – she’s
all about having fun.
Ano Haloa is the nosy waiter at the Oceanside
Palace Hotel. He might not seem like he is paying
attention to the conversation at your table, but quite
the contrary! This meddlesome maître d' keeps a
journal and knows every detail about every guest at
the hotel! Be careful what you say around Ano, as
rumor has it that he’s just waiting for the day he
hears a bit of gossip he can do something with!
Holi Mulokeli is the overly-excited greeter and lei
presenter at the Oceanside Palace Hotel. The native
Hawaiians know to avoid her, but the tourists… well,
they better be ready for a surprise when they arrive
to the hotel! Holi bursts with energy and hospitality
and takes her job very seriously. Her enthusiasm
has been known to make children cry and animals
flee the scene! Holi is the sister of the hotel’s main
hula dancer, Poni Mulokeli.
Sol Boatman recently won a lawsuit against a large
fast food chain for burning his lip on an overly-heated
hamburger. He’s using his winnings to set out on a
tour of the world – starting with Maui! Sol is a
recently retired donut artist and is definitely enjoying
the break from the sugary confections. Sol is
typically seen with a bunch of friends wherever he
goes.
Sol Boatman recently won a lawsuit against a large

HOST DIRECTIVES
Get ready for an awesome fun n’ the sun party with your purchase of the Murder in Maui…a Luau to die
for game from mymysteryparty.com! This party is an entertaining and comical mystery where the players act
the roles of hilarious personalities while sleuthing the intriguing story line. This is an excellent choice for your
next get together during the sunshine’y season!
The party pack (this document) needs to be printed in advance of the party. Cut out the clues and slip them
into envelopes labeled with the appropriate round and character for each round of the party. It is optimal to
choose different colored envelopes for each round. There are envelope packs for sale on the My Mystery
Party website in the Party Props section (aka: Prop Emporium).
For a complete surprise, you can elect to upgrade this download to the pre-printed ‘party ready’ party pack
option from the mymysteryparty.com site. The upgrade is located in our side navigation bar and says ‘upgrade
your download to a boxed set.’ This option will include the clues in labeled envelopes and the rest of prepared
game documents –‘ready to go’ (this is an additional charge since we utilize our paper, ink, envelopes, labor,
etc.). This upgrade removes the original price of the download and charges you the difference between the
party ready pack and download version of the game.
We also offer mystery props on the My Mystery Party site in the Prop Emporium including authentic crime
scene barrier tape, crime scene balloons, mystery investigation pens, white face makeup for the victim, victim
t-shirts, etc. These are all optional but are fun enhancements to your night/day of mystery.
During the party, your job as the host is to ensure that the envelopes are given to the guests at the appropriate
times and most of all – that you and your guest are having a blast! Make sure to read the host instructions for
each round prior to the party to ensure that you have everything in place for the big day! Please note - the host
instructions for each round do not disclose who the murderer is, but do not read the Round Three clue cards if
you want to keep the murderer a surprise. (The victim is disclosed in the Round Two clue cards.)
This mystery comes with 10+ characters. There are 4+ optional characters in this mystery. If you do not have
guests for these 4+ optional characters, simply omit the clue cards of these guests. If you need to have unique
characters added beyond the available expansion packs, please purchase custom characters from the My
Mystery Party site under the Need More Murder Mystery Characters section. Please allow us a maximum of
up to 7 business days to complete your request (however, during the busy times of the year, this might be
extended depending upon demand). Depending on the author queue, we might be able to do them quicker for
you but if you are in a hurry - please check with us first before you purchase .
Full instructions are in
the purchased game
The game is organized into four rounds and is structured as follows:
OPTIONAL PRE-GAME TASKS: these optional pre-game task sheets are to be delivered to each guest before the
party or give them to the guests as they arrive. All pre-game materials are optional and do not alter the
mystery and are intended to enhance the pre-game build up for the event. These tasks are not vital to solving
the mystery and omission of them does not alter the mystery in any way.
APPETIZER (COCKTAILS 4 ADULTS) HOUR / ROUND ONE: Deliver these clues as your guests arrive.
DINNER HOUR / ROUND TWO: Deliver these clues while you serve dinner (optional) to your guests.
DESSERT, AND THE BIG REVEAL/ SOLUTION ROUND THREE: Deliver these clues with coffee/hot cocoa and
dessert (again, it’s optional to serve dessert)
Note: you do NOT have to serve dinner/dessert, this is only suggested and the instructions tell you ‘when’ to
serve it and what to do around the time you serve it. You can simply skip both without a problem and just serve
Page 5
snacks/appetizers the entire time. However, please don’t have a party without offering some type of food –
even if it’s just snacks.

OPTIONAL PRE-GAME starter
Before the party, encourage your guests to view the Your Mystery Party -YourMysteryParty.com/luau
website or use the free printable My Mystery Party invitations as they have the character descriptions
included. This way, before the party, they can get familiar with the other characters that will be at the party,
watch the game trailer, and more! There are also hidden/subtle hints about characters throughout the page so
those guests who choose to be ‘super sleuths’ can spend some time studying the Your Mystery Party
site prior to the party. If you are using an expansion pack, you’ll need to go to
YourMysteryParty.com/luaumurder – as this page will include the expansion pack players.
The free, downloadable invitations are located on the item page where you first purchased this game. Scroll to
the bottom of the page and click on the link that says ‘free, downloadable invitation’ to download the pdf file.
Fill in your information in the text fields and either print or save to your hard drive. You can email these invites
to your guests to save paper costs. You will need to enter your information in the text field and save one on
your hard drive for each player, changing the character to be played on each invitation. Alternatively, either
email this link or use any eVite site and simply include the link to the Your Mystery Party guest invite site at
http://YourMysteryParty.com/luau (or other page if you are using the expansion pack). There are no spoilers
on this page for your guests.

ROUND ONE - IT’S PARTY TIME!
DÉCOR: Create a Luau ambiance with a Jimmy Buffet mix, reggae mix or a steel drum band mix CD playing
softly, Luau décor and any movie (on mute) about the beach / Hawaii (i.e. Lilo & Stitch, Gidget Goes Hawaiian,
Point break, Blue Crush, etc.) if there is a television in the party room. Also, take a look at our Pinterest Page
(MyMysteryParty) for some DIY options.
Cocktails for adults (i.e. Mai Tais, Pina Coladas served in pineapple or coconut shells, etc.) and appetizers can
be served and a round one envelope should be handed to each guest. For teens, serve fruit punch with a
pineapple garnish or Hawaiian Punch inside of a carved pineapple with fun umbrellas and colorful straws.
the purchased game
OPTIONAL BUT FUN: At the conclusion of this round, play any of the bonus games (see the bonus activity
instructions).
PROP LIST: These are props needed for this round. Collect these items in advance and have them ready.
If any of the optional games are played, you will need to collect the items needed in advance of the game.
Round One Clue cards printed and slipped into envelopes that are labeled for each character playing the
game.
ROUND TWO – DINNER HOUR
PRE-GAME SET UP: In the nearest bathroom, place the following items under the sink - the victim sign,
Scotch tape (host supplied), white non-toxic face makeup (optional and host supplied but funny and
suggested), and also include the victim t-shirt and / or crime scene tape if you have purchased these items
from our prop store (again, optional but funny and suggested). If there is not a cabinet under the sink, place
these items in any location that can be concealed within that bathroom. The victim will be instructed in their
clue card for round two to look for it if there is not a cabinet under the sink. The victim will be instructed in their
round two clue card – to become the victim after the pre-murder clues have been implemented (after ~ 1520 minutes) to go to the nearest restroom to become the victim by applying the white face makeup on their
face (optional), using Scotch tape to adhere the victim sign to their chest and if the optional victim t-shirt is
available - to put that on (with the victim sign on top) and if the optional authentic crime scene barrier tape is
there - to decorate themselves with it. It is hilarious when the guests see the fully decorated victim!
the purchased game
THE INVESTIGATION BEGINS: As stated above, once the victim is ‘discovered’ and the laughter dies down,
read the sign on his/her chest to the group and have them go back to the party room. Encourage the guests to
implement their 'post-murder reveal clues' and share truthful information and opinions that they have regarding
the murder. Most would have already viewed their post murder clues, and that is great. Super sleuths will be
Page 7
ready for the investigation and the energy will remain high. This part of the investigation should take about 15
minutes, but don’t rush as it is important.
the purchased game
CONCLUSION OF THE ROUND: At the conclusion of this round, give the guests a time period (i.e. 5-10
minutes) in which to fill in their final guesses as to whodunit on the ‘Murder Mystery Investigation Sheet’.
Collect the guess sheets from your guests at the conclusion of this round.
You collect the investigation sheets so the guests are not tempted to change their original guesses of
whodunit once they hear what others have to say during the accusation round. If you trust your guests won’t
change their answers &/or there is no pride or end of the game prizes on the line – there’s no need to collect
the murder mystery investigation sheets from your guests. If you want to narrow it down to ‘one winner,’ simply
give the winning title to the person who turns in the first correct guess of whodunit. It would be best not to let
the guests know you are doing this, or you’ll have a bunch of rushed guesses and the guests will skip much
needed sleuthing.

who they believe the murderer is and how they did it. Instruct them to also tell the group their guess of the
murderer’s motive. If you are having an awards ceremony using the awards certificates available on the My
Mystery Party site in the mystery props section, you can use this round as the final decision maker on the best
actor/actress award.

HELPFUL HINTS ON HOW TO PLAY A MYSTERY PARTY
GUEST INSTRUCTIONS
You’ve been assigned a character and you’ve come to the party dressed in the most
awesome luau costume and have been told to play your role. Now what?
The mystery is separated into three main rounds of party play. During the party, you will
receive an envelope that contains the clues necessary for your character for the round. The
clues for the characters at the party provide everything that you need to solve the mystery.
However, during the investigation segment of the game, you will need to ask the right
questions and pay close attention to everyone’s clues to get the whole picture of what has
happened.
the purchased game
From this point forward, you are to remain in character until the mystery is solved. If you are
playing a ‘quirky tourist,’ then that is who you are until the end! Undoubtedly, your host cast
you into a character that you are comfortable playing. Some characters are designed to be
played more reserved than other characters. Feel free to play your role in any manner that
you feel comfortable. Embellish your character’s personality if you would like. However, if
you are feeling more reserved tonight, you can opt to allow the other guests to approach you
or you can simply listen in on others’ conversations to get your information.
Page 9
OPTIONAL PRE-GAME TASKS - The following tasks are completely optional and
exclusion of them does not alter the mystery in any way. However, it does lead to pre-game build up and
excitement! Cut the task strips out and slip them into envelopes and send about 1 week prior to the party. Be
sure to fill in your guests’ preferred contact information on the task slips so they will be able to contact each
other. The usual method of contact is via email. The expandable team playing with Sol will be included in this round
through Sol – they are not to receive pre-game starter cards. You will enter their contact information on Sol’s card.
character l
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 Tiki Hutman and tell him that you are absolutely furious that two of your money bags
disappeared yesterday. Tiki is supposed to watch over the beach and that includes the cabanas that people
pay a lot of money to rent! Someone stole your money, and Tiki should be held responsible!

mystery or 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 some completely mysterious fun!

ROUND ONE CLUES– cut out, slip into envelopes and label with the character and round. 
character t ROUND ONE
CLUES TO REVEAL DURING THIS ROUND
During this round, mingle with other guests to discuss the following information:
Talk to Poni Mulokeli about how Jack Marrow promised you that if you paid the fee for a deep sea fishing
excursion trip that costs $200.00, he would catch a few big game fish, sell them, and split the money with
you. He supposedly went on this trip and then said he had hard luck and didn’t catch anything. However,
if he is a professional fisherman that works for a tour company hosting deep sea excursions here in Maui,
shouldn’t he have caught something? You feel foolish and feel like he conned you out of money!
Talk to Lovey Powell about how she became wealthy. Did she earn it herself, or did she inherit it?
Ask Robbie Peters (refer to him as Harry Spotter, as he is in disguise as an amateur tennis player) what he
does for a living. Say that he looks vaguely familiar. You feel like you’ve seen his face somewhere?
PERSONAL CLUES TO CONCEAL
You were completely humiliated by Character S. You met him the other night at the Lime & Coconut Dance
Club and he made a deal with you, but you feel like he tricked you out of your money. You don’t think he
had any intention of catching those fish and splitting the money with you. You doubt he even went on the
trip. You think he pocketed your money. Now, you don’t have enough money to make it for the rest of your
trip, as you are a college student on a very tight budget.
You’re a seemingly naïve college student from the University of Northern Texas. You won this trip by
participating in a Hawaiian trivia contest on a local radio station. You don’t have a lot of common sense but
make up for it in book smarts as you’ve got a 4.0 GPA and you’re a biochemistry major.
Each player will have a round one
card in the purchased game.
Names were removed to prevent
spoilers
During the mystery, your character must be honest. Don’t make up any potentially mystery-altering clues. You
do not, however, have to share the clues that you collect with other guests.
ROUND TWO CLUES– cut out, slip into envelopes and label with the character and round. 
CHARACTER S -ROUND TWO
PRE MURDER CLUES TO REVEAL & TASKS TO PERFORM:
Character P hasn’t tipped you all night. Tell everyone that he is a con artist and shouldn’t be trusted – and,
the man has never left you a tip so he needs to just die.
Tell Kirstin and Robbie that the Hollywood paparazzi ‘are a comin’.’
Tell Character G that the upper management of the hotel is looking for a way to fire her – just FYI.
Ask Character L why she is estranged with her famous niece. She’ll have plenty of opportunities to explain
her side to the Hollywood paparazzi when they arrive at the hotel…very soon! You called them about 8
hours ago and they should arrive soon.
POST MURDER:
 You probably did touch the murder weapon or a few just like it as you helped set up the luau this
evening. It’s your job; it can’t be avoided, unfortunately.
 You saw the victim leave the luau area about 5-6 minutes prior to the time the body was discovered
by Lovey Powell.
 If Lovey Powell is not an honest person, why should you believe that she simply ‘discovered’ the
body? How do you know she is not the murderer?
 Robbie and Kirstin left the luau at the same time earlier. Kirstin returned first and Robbie was
definitely gone for about 3-4 minutes total.

The guests will view the guest instructions and character list while they wait for everybody to arrive.
The host should build in at least a 10 minute cushion for guests to arrive late. Hey, it happens.
7:10 PM: The host reads the guest instructions to the group.
It is optional to have each guest introduce
their character in front of the group. Play the video game trailer on Your Mystery Party for your
game &/or read the game synopsis from Your Mystery Party to the group to give the premise.
7:20 PM: The Round One envelopes are handed out and the game begins.
The guests mingle and
reveal the clues on their clue cards. It’s just like a normal party, but the guests remain in character
and gossip about each other’s characters. The motives & story lines will start to unveil.
7:50 PM: An optional bonus game is played.
Bonus activities keep the energy flowing and the guests
have a blast. They are optional, but highly suggested. The players must remain in character.
8:05 PM: Optional to serve dinner.
Dinner can be sit down or buffet – or even as simple as a
pizza that’s delivered! You can also just serve appetizers/snacks during the party.
8:35 PM: The Round Two envelopes are handed out to the guests and pre-murder clues are discussed.
8:55 PM: The victim becomes the victim and the host passes out the investigation sheets to the players.
The guests interrogate each other to determine whodunit. The full story is in the player clue cards,
but the guests will have to be skilled at asking the right questions of each other, etc.
9:10 PM: The fiber analysis report is revealed and within ~5-10 minutes, everybody submits their
formal guess of whodunit.
9:20 PM: Optional accusation round – the guests can take turns formally accusing who they think did it,
and why. You’ll be surprised at how everybody’s inner actor will surface during this activity.
9:30 PM: Dessert and coffee (optional) are served and the Round Three envelopes are handed out to
the guests. The guests sit in a circle and one-by-one, the solutions are revealed by each of the
guests and the murderer will confess at the conclusion of the round. The murderer is notified in
their round three solution card that they are the murderer. They will not know or have any
advantage over anybody of knowing whodunit before this round.
9:50 PM: An optional bonus game is played.
10:10 PM: An optional award ceremony.
My Mystery Party has award certificates of all kinds that you can
choose from in the Prop Emporium. The host can determine who receives the awards while the
bonus game is being played. Some awards are traditional and some are snarky but hilarious!
10:30 PM: Game over!
