After the Fire

The Wytecliff Family is at the Center of Attention Again…For the Last Time?

Salutations, citizens of Salchester!

After a series of mythical events that somehow always seem to involve the Wytecliffs, a disastrous fire has destroyed the Northwood House and the Wytecliffs are missing. Is this another of their magical mishaps, or is something more sinister afoot?

Bringing to you the final installment of the Northwood Fables, my name is Penelope Press, a renowned reporter at the Salchester Gazette. This is the final tale of the Northwood Fables, a series of mystery party games that follow a series of curious, mythical events around the fabled town of Salchester. I’ve gathered some of those familiar with the Wytecliff family at the local bar, The Golden Thicket, to gather clues and solve this final mystery. 

To fully immerse your party in the atmosphere, we’ve included recipes for the Golden Thicket Burger (classic or firestarter), Thick-cut Fries, Chocolate Pudding, and the Gilded Match Cocktail. 

At a Glance

Don’t worry if you’ve never played a mystery party game or a murder mystery game before—you don’t need to memorize anything or be a roleplaying expert. All you have to do is read your character’s script and try to figure out who is the culprit. No acting is required—but the more everyone gets into character, the more fun the game can be!

Each game is completely digital - just download the files, assign characters, and distribute to your players! Play in person or online! Then, once the character booklets are distributed, it’s time to play! Games include three Q&A sections that are separated by scripted scenes, a prompt for players to make their accusations, and conclude with a final scripted scene.

Games are designed for 8-11 players OR for a solo pla
