Title: Cluedo - Murder Mystery with a French Twist
Post by: playmovictorian on October 17, 2009, 06:40:27
Good morning Playmofriends  :wave:

I think that most of you have played with the Cluedo Murder Mystery Game "who dunn'it ?" once or at least know what it is about  :yup:

Here is a wonderful little summer activity in which most of the members of Playmoboys have taken part this summer around the mysterious murder of the Dr Lenoir...

The introduction story is made like a little cartoon with funny catch phrases about the resemblance of Police Officers to famous fictional characters...

Here is a little entertainment "a la Francaise" that should kick start your week-end with a smile  ;) :

Midnight hour, a crime has occured in a LA's suburb...AHHH !!!

Shortly afterwards, 6 mysterious black silhouettes are seen leaving the house

The following morning...One Agent says : and then I asked him : is it serious Doc ? "

"Start of this Mission: from publication of this post.

I like the idea, but I'm also confused - the end time of the mission seems to be two months ago!
Do we produce six figures with weapons and do we make up our own names for them and post a photo of them here?  I'll be glad to have a go at this, if so how long do we have to do it?

Ahhh - read through it all again and ralised it's been and gone! what a pity, I'd have liked to try that - maybe we could try something on similar lines - anyone got any ideas?

Hi Sky & Bill  :wave:

As I mentioned in the introduction, this was a Summer Challenge   which started from the posting of the story dated 05/07/09 until the final deadline on 09/08/09 at 22.00 - you may have misunderstood my "French" when I did not mention the start date  :-[

The Challenge was to create 6 suspects each holding one of the murder weapons and each dressed in a different color. Only one picture was then allowed showing all 6 suspects.

I found the customs of the Members very original with names to match !!!

Karim ;)

Thanks for sharing this with us, Karim, and especially for posting the English translations. :)9

I love the story and the characters! Was this created by D2? Looks like his style.

The murder suspects made by the members are brilliant too. It was fun seeing all the different interpretations of the Cluedo characters. 8-)

Thank you for sharing this with us Karim! There are some very creative minds at work on this story and I also appreciate your translating it for us. I thought that all female group of suspects looked particularly sinister!
