You log into your e-mail and find a message from a law firm called Bram, Bates, & Regan. They say you have inherited an old family mansion from a distant uncle you don't remember having. Hmmm... it couldn't hurt to check it out. You drive deep into the countryside as the weather grows worse and worse. The old manor has been empty for years... then why do you think you see a face in the upstairs window? What was that old story you heard about a bride murdered in the manor just before her wedding day?
Better get your courage up before you enter the manor. After all, who knows what mysteries and terrors await you inside the walls of BloodWorth Manor?
Ages: This game is intended for upper middle school and high school students.
Number of players: This game will work for any number of players. You can print out more than one set of clues for each room if playing with a large number of students.
