And Then There Were None...[SPEED GAME]
Posted: Sun Jan 12, 2014 1:00 am
Welcome to the island! The unwitting guests travel to the island by strange invitation, but will any of them leave alive? Come along for the adventure of Agatha Christie's 'And Then There Were None.' Will the guests solve the mystery and escape before any more of them are killed? Will the mysterious killers succeed in exacting their devious plan? Who are the true baddies and who are the civvies?
This will probably be a game with a set length of time. The story will unfold as each day progresses with more information being revealed to the players. I am playing with the idea of not designating roles as civvie or baddie publicly, but will decide later how this will work. I plan to spend more time fleshing this out in the next month and rereading the novel, but wanted to go ahead and post my concept.
Ten little Soldier Boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were nine.
Nine little Soldier Boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.
Eight little Soldier Boys travelling in Devon;
One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.
Seven little Soldier Boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.
Six little Soldier Boys playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.
Five little Soldier Boys going in for law;
One got in Chancery and then there were four.
Four little Soldier Boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.
Three little Soldier Boys walking in the zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.
Two little Soldier Boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one.
One little Soldier Boy left all alone;
He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.
