Since about 1988 Monte and Barbara Cady have been writing role playing mystery games with the idea of having fun with a group
of friends in a wholesome way. Other such games they had tried had such suggestive plots and slimy characters that they didn't
really enjoy playing. So they set out to write a better murder mystery, and along the way found madness, mayham, and a whole
lot of fun. Monte is a retired banker (Note: lots of our games have bankers in them, usually unscrupulous) and for many
years Barbara was a stay at home mom. They live in the Pacific Northwest near many of their 10 children (and their families).
Through the years they kept writing and testing and throwing parties. They found that they enjoyed playing their own games
as did their friends. They tested them all many times and appreciated their growing circle of friends who were eager to help
with testing. They figured the games were good when acquaintances began asking if they could come to the parties, and the
checkout clerk at the grocery store noticed the name on the check and commented about the games. Then they began to get requests
from people who wanted to host their own parties.
In 1993 Whodunnit Mystery Games put their first games on the internet, and it has been an amazing experience since. Whodunnit
Mystery Games now sells games world wide, and they enjoy talking to many of their customers about the mystery parties they
have thrown.
Whodunnit Mystery games are very popular with family reunions, team building exercises, church youth groups, bed and breakfasts,
wedding parties (don't ask!), and just fun get-together's of many, many groups of friends. Along the years Whodunnit has branched
into their very popular all girl and teen mystery party games, specifically tailored for slumber parties, teen youth groups
and any groups of teens who want to get together and have some fun.
Now 20 years later, Monte and Barbara are including
(have roped) several of their children in the family
business. Chris, their oldest daughter, has taken on
the role of website coordinator and visionary,
working on bringing Whodunnit into the 21st century.
Chuck, their oldest son, is knee deep in the nuts
and bolts of putting together the website. Judy is
working as a game editor. Peggy works at beta
testing the games, as well as running her own
business To Port Zen
Miniatures, and Susan is working at website
optimization and marketing (lucky girl!) as well as
owner of AC
Bouquet Candy Bouquets and Gift Baskets. Monte
and Barbara are still working on production and in
the process of writing new murder and non-murder
mystery games, many of which will be coming out
soon.
Who know's what the future may hold? Ask us in a few years and maybe we'll have an idea. Until then, we'll look for you at
one of our parties.
