Kill Joy

Dedication

Dedicated to Mary Celia Collis

1925–2020

Dear Celia Bourne, (AKA Pip Fitz-Amobi)

You are cordially invited to come dine with me to celebrate my 74th birthday. The whole family will be in attendance for the weekend, and I expect you to be here too. It will be a night to remember.

Where: At Remy Manor on Joy—my private island off the west coast of Scotland. Remember, the boat only leaves the mainland once a day at 12:00 p.m. sharp and the journey takes two hours. (But actually just at Connor’s house.)

When: This weekend (Next Saturday at 7:30 p.m.)

Yours sincerely,

(but actually it’s from me, Connor)

Please open this invitation for additional information.

YOUR CHARACTER

For this murder mystery game you will be playing the role of:

Celia Bourne

You are the twenty-nine-year-old niece of Reginald Remy, the patriarch of the Remy family and owner of the Remy Hotels and Casinos empire in London. You are an orphan; your parents died when you were young and you have never been truly welcomed into the Remy family, despite them being your only living relatives. You are bitter about this and the fact that the incredibly wealthy Reginald Remy has never offered to help you out financially. You currently work in London, as a governess to a well-off family.

Costume Suggestions

Get ready to go back in time, to 1924, and dive into the Roaring Twenties. A drop-waist evening dress should do the trick. Accessorize with a headband and a feather boa.
