THE MURDER
Rupert Maxwell is retiring and everyone has stayed after work to make sure he really is going, once and for all. His P.A. has organised an Eighties throwback disco with the cheapest bubbly money can buy, but just as the party starts the boss drops dead! Host your own party to find out who killed the boss!

THE SUSPECTS
Murder in the Office is a murder mystery game for 8 players – 4 female and 4 male. You and your guests will each take on one of the following roles:

Female Roles
DONNA NEES, Maxwell's put-upon P.A. Maxwell has used and abused her for years. Has she finally had enough?
GOLDIE BULLET, friendly HR officer. What dark secret is she hiding behind her bubbly personality and huge...earrings?
RUTH LESLEY, hard-nosed executive. She does what it takes to get ahead. But would she kill?
WANDA ROUND, ditsy receptionist. Her interests are clubbing, shopping, flirting…and murder?

Male Roles
ROGER HARD, vain sales rep. He's only focused on hitting his targets. Was Maxwell one of them?
JACK DON, office junior. Jack gets all the sticky jobs no one else wants. Does that include killing Maxwell?
PHIL CASH, accountant. Phil's about 20 years short of retirement. Did he decide it would be easier to do hard time in prison?
HANK XEROX, photocopier repairman. He's got a big tool and he knows how to use it. Does he also know how to kill?

YOUR PARTY
Murder in the Office lets you host a wild party with the minimum of fuss. The game contains everything you need to play – from the host's guide and costume suggestions to recipes for a full three-course meal (it also plays well as a 'buffet-style' party). Here are a few other tips to help you host an unforgettable murder mystery night:

The Decor
The 1980s were THE party years. If you're planning decorations, go for bright colours - especially neons - and lots of balloons, streamers, party poppers and banners.
This is an office party so that means plenty of paper plates and plastic cutlery to go with your sausage rolls and cheese sandwiches! Don't forget no office party is complete without some rude photocopies!

The Music
Murder in the Office comes with a full CD of background music. If you'd rather create your own playlist go for any 1980s compilation or look for the classic hits of the time from Madonna, Talking Heads, Michael Jackson and Wham!

The Cocktails
No 80s themed party is complete without Sex on the Beach. Mix three parts vodka, orange juice and cranberry juice to one part peach schnapps. Shake well then strain into a highball glass with masses of ice. Garnish with fruit slices, colourful straws and those little umbrellas.
