Story
Summary
Sir Montgomery Glenn was found dead in his castle at Mousey, England. After a Viking burial that same day, the treasure hunt began. The
treasure is rumored to be worth $21 million in gold and everyone wants a piece of that pie.
The castle has a garden maze on the grounds, secret passages, ghost sightings, and lots of strange visitors (many of whom spend
days and weeks in the area). It’s a great place to visit, but there is just one tiny little problem. Who killed Sir Glenn, and
if you find the treasure, are you next?

Welcome to Castle Glenn. This is a nice
tourist location and since it was opened for tours of the Castle and
grounds in the 1980s, has expanded to a bed and breakfast and has
added an evening show about the history of the castle and Mousey.
This is a show using local talent, although Sir Montgomery Glenn has
recently experimented with various bands and groups to add to the
entertainment opportunities for the guests--to say nothing of the
income of the Castle.
Tourists choose Castle Glenn for local fishing, hiking, searching
for the fabled buried or lost treasure, and for ghost watching.
Whale watching pales in comparison to watching one or more ghosts as
they go about their rounds. They care nothing about maintaining a
schedule, or day or night. As one local plumber remarked "Ya see's 'em
when ya see's 'um."
Castle Glenn is a modest little castle in England that sits on 5400
acres which includes the Village of Mousey.
The castle was first constructed under the direction of Duke Royan
Glenn in 1343. It has been in the Glenn family ever since
It was burned in a war between Kings in 1460 and rebuilt in 1465 for
loyal service to Princess Penalope in her escape from the pretender
to the title. Jock Glenn carried the Princess 14 miles on his back
as he crawled through marsh and swamp, making sounds like a bull
Crocodile. The Princess had a batch of thatch on her head to
complete the disguise.
At the sacking of the Castle, it was rumored that there was a
substantial treasure in the castle for payment of the construction
contractor. However no money was found in the ruins. Unfortunately,
the contractor was also found in the ruins. The site of the old
Cathedral was searched, as there were supposed to be 3 oxcarts of
gold and gold artifacts and silver flat ware. Legend plus old family
tax records for the locality equal fabulous wealth!
Sir Montgomery Glenn recently is rumored, based on his research, to
have found the treasure and had applied to the Crown for an
Antiquities Permit to exceed $21 million dollars**. To verify his
claim, he produced a set of nine matched silver goblets worth at
least $2,300 dollars each. They are authenticated as being made in
mid 1300.
Now Sir Montgomery is dead! He was found dead in his room. He had a
look of peace on his face. He had scrawled a note to himself on a
pad on the desk which said "Feed the horses." The note was undated.
He died on Tuesday, June 15, 1999, and was cremated on the same day.
Today is the 16th.
The murderer must be caught before Sir Montgomery's spirit will be
able to be put to rest. Each of you is a suspect in one way or
another. Solve the murder before your friends choose you!

I wanted
to e-mail you and thank you for reading the part for Jack B. Nimble
to our guest at our party on Saturday. We had a wonderful time and our
murderer did such a good job that only 2 people of the 14 guessed it
was him....We would like to be able to use this game again in the future...And
we are still getting comments about our party!!! Thanks again.
K.S.
We played Castle Glenn...and the game was a riot, with a lot of folks
from a serious profession freed up to act crazy. "My" scheme for collecting
pizza royalties was a hoot, for instance...
L.L. (played at a business conference)
The first pix from one of the homes you provided mysteries for. Everyone had a wonderful time and loved their parts. I will definitely
use your products again. Even our roaming chef enjoyed the game!
I had three of your murder mysteries going in the same neighborhood last night. Everyone has reported that they had so much fun! What a relief.
Thanks so much for all of your help. You were so personable and accommodating!
