This is an all girl mystery party, ages 9-11 yrs.
Story Summary
Lake Washington is a wonderful place to sail, water ski,
swim, and even fish. However, it is not a place you would
normally go to have your jewels stolen. Especially if you
were Abigail (Abbie) Appleslugger.
Abbie comes from one of the pioneer families of the area.
Her grandfather made his fortune with a fleet of fishing
boats that caught tons of fish each year. Her great uncle
made millions in the timber industry, and her father owned
some of the largest wheat lands in the State and was worth
millions in his own right. Her brother has died and Abbie
is now the sole heir of the family fortunes. She is now
32 years old and worth about 26 million dollars, but who’s
counting.
Abbie loves working with young girls. She says it makes
her stay young since she has no husband or children of her
own. She is a Pod Leader (like a Girl Scout leader) for
the "Seals" and there are eight girls in the group. The
"Seals" love to play and solve mystery games.
Abbie has a beautiful home (the "Frog Pond") on the shores
of Lake Washington and likes to have lavish 4th of July
parties where all the guests come and admire her jewels
she wears for the occasion (red rubies, white pearls, and
blue turquoise). She had invited the Seals to the party
to help her with the food and serving the other guests.
Now, two days after the party, Abbie has discovered that
someone has stolen her tiara and all the rubies from her
home. All the guests are under suspicion. Abbie has offered
the "Seals" a $200.00 reward if they can solve who stole
her jewelry.

Lake Washington, in Seattle, Washington, is a wonderful
place to sail, water ski, swim, and even fish. However, it is not a
place you would normally go to have your jewels stolen. Especially
if you were Abigail "Abbie" Appleslugger.
Abbie comes from one of the pioneer families of the area. Her
grandfather made his fortune with a fleet of fishing boats that
caught tons of fish each year. Her great Uncle "Chips" Appleslugger
made millions in the timber industry. Her father owned some of the
largest wheat lands in the State and was worth $15,000,000 in his
own right. "Fig" Appleslugger, her brother, had decided to be a race
car driver, but was not too good at it. He was killed in the first
lap of his first race and Abbie became the sole heir of her
Grandfather's, Uncle's, and father's estates. Abbie is now 32 years
old and is worth about $26,004,887.79.
Abbie loves working with young girls. She says it make her stay
young since she has no husband or children of her own. She has
volunteered to be Pod Leader (like a girl scout leader) for the
girls group the Orcas. Yours is the Pod called the Seals and you
have 8 girls in the group. You meet every Saturday at 9:00 AM. The
Seals join in all the other activities of the Pods, but your group
is really centered around playing and solving mystery games. Abbie
has offered the group a $200.00 reward if they can solve who stole
her jewelry. She will also take them on a week-end trip to Victoria,
Canada. which is very English in customs, speech, and food.
Abbie has a beautiful home (the "Frog Pond") on the shores of Lake
Washington and likes to have lavish 4th of July parties where all
the guests come and admire her jewels she wears for the occasion:
red rubies, white pearls, and blue turquoise. She also likes to wear
a gold and diamond tiara so she looks like the Statue of Liberty.
She had invited the Seals to the party to help her with the food and
serving the other guests.
Now, two days after the party, Abbie has discovered that someone has
stolen the tiara and all the rubies from her home. All of the guests
are under suspicion. Bloodhounds are being used to search the
grounds. A school of giant Salmon are searching the waters of the
lake, and Abbie has several carpenters building a large floating
scaffold on which to hang the thief or thieves. She plans to have a
huge crab feed for all who want to come watch the hanging.
You better get busy and find out who is the thief. You would not
want to have some one mistake you for the villain and hang you by
accident. |

I wanted
to let you know how much fun my girls had playing the Lake Washington
Mystery Game! Even with their sometimes short attention spans,
the girls laughed, had fun and begged to play it again after the game
was done! Thanks!
S. A., Lewiston, Idaho
I liked the different characters and the
funny stories that went along with them.

Getting new clues throughout the game helped make it challenging to
guess the villain.
