No panik - we were hosting a murder mystery party in our apartment. In case you haven´t heard about it, here a brief explanation what it is: It is a game played through a 3 course meal. There is a story to it and explains that someone has been murdered. Each guest receives an invitation upfront describing a character they need to act and play whilst investigating who the murder was.
This particular game was actually called "Murder in the Orient" and was set in Shanghai in 1939. There could have been no better place than our apartment to play this. It was built around the same time and is situated in the French Concession where a lot foreigners used to go out and live already back than.
Since we haven´t talked about who we are hanging out with in Shanghai I decided to take this as an opportunity to introduce you to some of our friends - and suspects of this crime:
E voila - the hosts:
Lady Marmalade (French wife of a British Diplomat)
and Reverend Spooner (An American Missionary)
The guests:
Benno - alias PEKING TOM (an Australian adventurer)
and Kerstin - alias MOUSY TUNG (a Chinese House keeper)
I think she should wear this black wick more often!
Leno - alias BRUCE LYE ( a professional dancer and kung fu specialist)
and Marianna - alias SU SUKI (a glamerous Japanese actress)
and last not least:
Ati - alias WAN TON WILLY ( A chinese business men with suspicious background)
and Judith - alias XENA SPOONER (Indian born and wife of Reverend Spooner)
By midnight the muder was found - of coarse it was the suspicous looking Reverend Spooner!
Sure his wife knew about it, too:
Several bottles of wine and some Sake later everyone left around 3am.
It was a great night and we will make sure that someone will be murdered again next year!
