4 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE HOST Thank you for purchasing the HOLLY O. WENE S HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION game from mymysteryparty.com! This mystery is a light-hearted and entertaining mystery that allows the children to step into a different character while trying to solve the entertaining mysteries. The party can be a huge success as long as the guests relax and let the mystery unravel during each round. 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. You will also have to prepare scavenger hunt clues and hide them in the designated places prior to the party for the scavenger hunt at the conclusion of Round One and also for the finale scavenger hunt which is set by the boundaries you decide upon (i.e. living room area, whole house, backyard, street or neighborhood, etc.). A prize for the finale scavenger hunt is optional. Full instructions in the purchased game THE ROUNDS ARE DESIGNED AS FOLLOWS: PRE-GAME: these pre-game starters are to be delivered to each guest before the party or give them to the guests as they arrive. All pre-game starters are optional and do not alter the mystery, and are intended to enhance the pre-game build up for the event. These clues are not vital to solving the mystery and will appear as an invitation reminder to the characters playing the game. ROUND ONE: Serve small snacks. Make sure the Guest Instructions and the List of Characters are available for your guests to read when they arrive. You can also take the time to review these materials with your guests before starting the game. You can either deliver these clues as your guests arrive or you can wait until all guests have arrived and after reading the instructions and answering any questions that arise, you can pass out the envelopes for round one to all of the guests at once. This round will end with an exciting scavenger hunt for more clues to the mysteries. ROUND TWO: The round two clues will be found during the hunt at the end of Round one. Allow the guests to open these while you serve a light dinner. At this time, the guests can discuss the 5 mysteries. FINAL SOLUTION / ROUND THREE: Cake and hot chocolate should be served during this round as the guests read their final solutions. Hide the pumpkin cut outs in any area that you designate for the finale scavenger hunt. Be sure to tell your guests their boundaries before the hunt.
