+avroair Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 (edited) Fall Geocaching Murder Mystery Event I was thinking of putting together a Cache Murder Mystery picnic where people play a caching personality or character and have goals to complete while eating and chatting with others in the game. The ultimate goal would be to discover the cache pirate and who commited the cache murder! Any interest? Could host it at a park, rent a victorian hall etc. Would be for sometime in November or early December. Edited August 25, 2004 by avroair Quote
+Squealy Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 That sounds like an interesting little twist - I think I would be in. Quote
+Team DEMP Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Did you run this past the Mrs? I'm in as long as I'm around. Taking a Disney vacation the middle of Nov. Would this be for families? Grownups only? Quote
+Squealy Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Taking a Disney vacation the middle of Nov. Would this be for families? Grownups only? Nice - pulling the kids out of school in Nov for Disney... Quote
+Frolickin Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Nice - pulling the kids out of school in Nov for Disney...There's not much school (at least public) in New Jersey during November (Veterans Day, NJEA Convention, Thanksgiving, half days for parent conferences, Election Day [i am not certain if anyone gets that off anymore though]). As for the Murder Mystery idea, sounds interesting. If you take it south, you could incorporate it around this cache. That might make it fun! Quote
+Team Rampant Lion Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 I was thinking of putting together a Cache Murder Mystery picnic where people play a caching personality ... Very cool idea! I want to be the Skully & Mulder snake handler character. I'll wear a big black snake and practice my "Crikey, she's a beaut!" and "What a Sheila!" lines. Sounds like fun. Need any co-conspiritors?

+The Leprechauns Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Hi folks, Although I'm probably not able to attend an event in your area in November, I wanted to post to make you aware of Cloak and Dagger: The Amethyst Murder, a murder mystery event cache being held on September 11th in the Cleveland area. The buzz for this event has been *incredible* and I will be participating as part of the Keystone Kops team with CCCooperAgency and SBUX. You may want to get in touch with the organizers, Serenity Now and Finding Fraggle Rock. Or, I'd be delighted to offer a report and any suggestions/helpful tips that I pick up after attending this event. Quote
+JMBella Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 I'll just concede to going to any event Avro puts together. Quote
+OurWoods Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 The ultimate goal would be to discover the cache pirate and pirate? I might depending on the weather in November or December.. I hate snow. Quote
+Squealy Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Can we choose who we get to murder? If Floopy gets "murdered" before 3,000 - ALL BETS ARE OFF!!!!! Quote
+Straatmaker 5 Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Wow, this sounds like it could be really fun. The Cleveland cache event sounds great too. We would love to do it too - depending on when, where, etc. Quote
+avroair Posted August 26, 2004 Author Posted August 26, 2004 The Cleveland event sounds like a blast. I would love a report. To answer someone's question: You WILL need a costume, you have to dress to look like a geocacher, I'm sure people have some sort of geocaching clothes lying around somewhere Format would be as each person arrives they will be able to select a 'character' (this will be a sheet with the traits and goals of the cacher, plus their cache. Every character will have sub-plots such as solving puzzle cachers, finding out who the Essex County ad-min is (another person at the event). Bribing other cachers, finding travel bugs, bribing admins and trying to get guidelines changed, getting caches approved etc. Ultimately, people will also try to discover who 'killed' the cache. There will be a cache pirate on the loose too. When you talk to or meet a person you can log their 'cache'. Travel bugs will feature with goals. (not sure if i want to make the children attending the travel bugs yet!). The currency will be WG$ which characters can use to blackmail, bribe, swindel and coerce other chacters to achieve goals. Not sure on the location yet. If anyone has ideas. There would also be a raffle for geocaching prizes. Quote
+HartClimbs Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 I'll bring the "louisville slugger". pssssst.... I heard it was Colonel Mustard in the Conservatory with the Candlestick. I'm in - as long as we get a choice on who actually gets murdered and how the deed gets done. Quote
+BMSquared Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 I think I could be in for something like that. I might be able to bring along Team Bam Bam, but I would have to give him directions to get there, and then solve the murder for him. Then again, at least his kid is pretty smart, maybe he could solve it for him . Quote
shanni-bugbait-wren Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 Sounds fun right now. Depends on what day of week (probably a Wed. like the rest when I work 9-9 ). Saturdays too, I work every other and Bugbait hunts. So, ,keep us posted more closer to the date. Thanx! Quote
+avroair Posted August 30, 2004 Author Posted August 30, 2004 It would probably take place on a weekend due to the length and would be open to adults and children. Quote
mortonfox Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 If Floopy gets "murdered" before 3,000 - ALL BETS ARE OFF!!!!! Don't worry. That swarm of yellow jackets kept my would-be assailants away. Oi! Quote
+Team Shibby Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Count me in as well, I'll be there for sure!! Quote
+avroair Posted September 4, 2004 Author Posted September 4, 2004 Can people post character personality ideas? Such as: Name: George Launders Experience: newbie Cache Type: WG trading post Personal: Collects as many WG$ as he can Name: Rocky Crevice Experience: pro Cache Type: hiking ammo can Personal: Likes hiking and placing caches among boulders Name: Loopy Jack Experience: veteran Cache Type: mulit loop Personal: Enjoys loop trails Quote
+avroair Posted September 6, 2004 Author Posted September 6, 2004 Would people prefer it in a park for a nominal fee or pay for a rented place? WHICH WOULD BE BETTER? LMK Quote
+avroair Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 (edited) I am trying to figure out a location does anyone know of a park which has a large pavillion with benches etc. (In case weather is not so good!). The Rev. Green Edited September 11, 2004 by avroair Quote
+avroair Posted September 14, 2004 Author Posted September 14, 2004 Any people interested in helping out with logistics let me know. I shall be recruiting you at Floopy's 3000 bash so beware! Quote
