The girls told me that if they had to grade this party on a scale of 1-10, they give it an 11!!! Many others told me its was the greatest party of the year. A few parents called the next day to say that their kids had such a great time that they were still talking about it! I think it helped my sons self esteem more than anything else...Lisa Marten, Macomb, MI

Thank you so much for making your product so easy to use. Kim Bauer O'Fallon MO

HOW THIS KIDS' MYSTERY GAME WORKS:

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ.

There are 2 versions of this game. You will get both versions with your purchase: The Know It All version wherein the primary suspects get the script/sequence of actions ahead of time and will know whodunit. I recommend that you give your primary suspects about 1 to 2 weeks to get familiar with the script and to prepare their character. Set a time to get together, perhaps add some food and drink to the "rehearsal", and just TALK through the script. Don't have everyone read it word for word - it won't help anyone really understand what's happening and it's pretty boring. I've always found that if you all talk through the action/sequence as your character, it helps loosen things up, the kids start finding the humor in their character and they get a better understanding of the whole picture.

Also included with purchase is the Narrator version of the game where the prime suspects just get their character descriptions ahead of time. You'll have the Simon/Simone adult character described below tell the story while your prime suspects act out what he/she is saying. In this version the suspects won't need to know whodunit. YOU WILL RECEIVE BOTH VERSIONS WHEN YOU PURCHASE THIS GAME.

This will not be a stationary mystery - it will be action-packed; we get all the kids active and involved, whether they're a prime suspect or a detective.

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: Due to the interactive nature of this kids' mystery game, it's best suited for groups of about 20 to 50 kids.

AGE RANGE: Age 8 to age 12.

LENGTH OF MYSTERY: Approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

PRE-EVENT PREP TIME: Anything and everything that can be downloaded is included with this game. You can prep the mystery in a about 2 to 3 hours. You’ll need to print programs and other such documents, shop for inexpensive, easy to find items (arts and craft supplies and some scavenger hunt items) and organize the props (clues, etc.) and supplies but it’s all very simple to do.

I run a before and after school program in Toronto. I purchased "The Special One's" package for one of our full day events and the children absolutely loved it! They we so excited about being a part of the mystery. The instructions said the entire production would run 2 to 3 hours, but we managed to stretch it out starting at 11am, we broke for lunch and we finished around 4pm which was perfect for us. Our children range from six to ten years of age and it was a big hit with all of them! The script was easily modified to suit our group of 45 and it was very hassle-free from a planning perspective. I would definitely be interested in utilizing your services again in the future. Kind Regards, Danielle Cameron, St. George's School Age Child Care Program, Etobicoke Ontario

The story set up and the suspects:

Dear Special Ones, You know why you’re here. The President of the United States of America asked you to be here because you’re one of the Special Ones, an elite - by “elite” we mean “cream of the crop” - group of children with very special DNA and very special skills and intelligence. The world is counting on you to save us all from Evil. So train well and train hard. And be warned and beware, wherever there’s good, there’s evil. And Camp Fredo is no exception. (The kids will need to figure out that one of them has been sent to Camp Fredo by a bad guy named Viper to stop them from saving the world from evil.)

NAME OF MISSION: Operation: Dingleberry Muffin.

CODE NAME: C.O.O.L. KIDS (Covert Operatives: Off Limits)

MEETING PLACE: Camp Fredo, a top secret training camp on the outskirts of Gotham City.

YOUR CONTACT: Simon (or Simone) Snuffle (the adult character who will play the camp caretaker and your narrator in Version 2).

PRIMARY SUSPECTS (AKA The Special Ones): Note: These roles can be adapted for an all boy or all girl cast - look for alternate names in the script.

  1. Dare Devill: A very fearless young man willing to brave anything and do anything to save the day - or so he says. Danger is his middle name (really)!
  2. Lauren Little: Lauren seems to be awfully well, dim for a special one. What’s her secret?
  3. Gypsy Seer: She says her gift is that she can almost always predict what is about to happen. We’ll see about that, won’t we?
  4. Cody Frost: He can freeze people - but only people who don’t believe in his special power because, really, what’s the use of freezing people who believe in you (unless they want you to freeze them)?
  5. Treat “Doc” Thomas: His nickname is “Doc” because he can cure things - not everything because he’s still developing his power, but lots of things.
  6. Hunter Safari: An excellent tracker due to his amazing sense of direction and his amazing sense of smell. Can he track down the bad guy - or is he the bad guy?
  7. Stephanie Snooze: Stephanie tends to be very sleepy all the time but there’s a reason for that. She says her brain needs it.
  8. Gina Grump: Okay so she’s grumpy all the time. She’s argumentative and she doesn’t like to play with others or cooperate. So you might be asking, why would she be a special one if she won’t play with others and is grumpy all the time? Ask her if you dare!

Thank you so much for making "The Special Ones" available out there!The game comes well prepared, so I didn't have too much prep-time to put into it.The kids had so much fun! They loved being "special ones." The parents had as much fun as the kids. They really got into their characters and costumes, and the kids loved seeing their parents act!
