Elizabeth stands in front of the contestants hands shaking as she holds the gun. Her eyes dart between the group of contestants and Sophia and Alexander. “He made me do it… He deserved it, I know you all agree.” Her voice trembles.

 

“He was an ass, but really murder?” Sophia glares at Elizabeth, “And you’ve screwed us all over. He promised to make it worth our while, cover you all up and we would get paid beyond our wildest dreams but you killed him and he left us nothing. He left you nothing too, so was it really worth it. All of this for what?”

 

“I went to talk to him, he was leaving and I wanted him to know who I was. All I wanted was for him to love me but when I caught him in the hall he said…” Elizabeth sobs. “He said he already knew, he’d always known and he didn’t care. I meant nothing to him! How could he say that? How could he do that to me?” Elizabeth’s eyes scan the contestants pleading.

 

A voice comes from behind the contestants, “I’m so sorry this is all my fault.” Carla pushes forward towards Elizabeth. “If I had just told you sooner that he knew none of this would have ever happened. Carla notices the confused looks of everyone around her and clears her throat.

 

“My daughter, Elizabeth’s mother used to come and visit me at work, one day when Charles was home they saw each other and she fell madly in love. They saw each other in secret for years and he really believed that he loved her too and that when she fell pregnant… that he would love their child as much as she loved him. She was wrong, he turned his back on her and never wanted to see her again. She kept thinking he would change his mind, that he was worried about leaving his wife but that their love was so strong everything would work out in the end.”

 

She pauses looking at Elizabeth. “After she had Elizabeth she brought her to him, thinking he would see his baby and want to be with his family but he spat in her face, told her he would do everything in his power to make sure no one ever knew she was his. Something in my daughter broke that day… that sadness destroyed her and I had to raise Elizabeth on my own. I couldn’t quit, I needed the money especially with a baby I couldn’t… I should have, I should have protected you more.”

 

Carla wraps her arms around her granddaughter as she sobs, “Please just let her go, she’s a good girl really.”

 

The characters will need to make a choice; help Elizabeth and Carla escape or help the detectives to arrest them.

 

Helping Elizabeth

Due to the contestants turning over the apron the detectives are now aware of who the killer is which will make a get away much harder. If they want to help Elizabeth and Carla escape they will need to figure out a way to get them out of the mansion before the detectives find them. You will need to create a plan to sneak them out of the mansion past the detectives hunting for them and once they are out of the mansion how to get them away and a place to hide once they are gone.

 

Help the detectives

The contestants will need to figure out a way to talk Elizabeth down and get the gun away from her before anyone else gets hurt and so the detectives can arrest her and her grandmother.

 

Requirements:

• You need to show which option your character chooses

• You need to show Elizabeth and Carla either escaping or being arrested

 

Contestants are free to add input or have their characters but in during the confession scene if they would like. Oliver is still able to participate as a non-contestant character during this round

 

Deadline - December 15th 11:59 GMT +8

The detectives don’t check on the contestants for the rest of the day and they are left alone until the next morning. Elizabeth once again comes to get them for breakfast looking more nervous than she did the previous day. As she leads the contestants down the hall they can overhear the detective's loud voices coming from one of the offices. Only small snippets of the conversation can be heard but the contestants can tell that they are in a bad mood.

“How do we not have any leads, he was killed in a house full of people!”

“Losing ourselves to uncertainty will not help the situation. Keep yourself together, Green.”

 

Arriving at breakfast the contestants see that Henry and Nico are no longer there, Carla informs them that they were sent home early in the morning. Katrina spends the majority of the day sulking in her room refusing to come out for anything and will not be seen for the rest of the day. The detectives do not join the contestants for the rest of the day, but it is still not wise for them to try and leave the house. The majority of the day is uneventful though the contestants can feel that the atmosphere is tense. Towards late afternoon the contestants hear a loud bang coming from one of the downstairs rooms. It is up to you if your character chooses to go investigate the noise. 

 

Entering one of White’s offices those who choose to investigate will see Sophia and Alexander hurrying through the opposite door arguing in hushed whispers. The office looks like it has been turned upside down, they were clearly looking for something. Drawers are pulled out, papers are scattered everywhere and a large cabinet has been overturned clearly the source of the noise. Sticking out from where the cabinet previously stood the contestants can see a crumpled, bloody piece of cloth on the floor. 

 

What the contestants do from here will have major impacts on the rest of the story!

 

If the contestants choose to tell the detectives what they found without investigating:

The detectives will send all the contestants back to their rooms and the office will be taped off and investigated further. 

 

If the contestants choose to investigate the cloth:

Picking it up they will find that it is an old, white apron. The front is heavily stained in dried blood. They can decide whether or not they hand it over to the detectives. 

 

If they hand the apron over to the detectives:

The detectives will send all the contestants back to their rooms and the office will be taped off and investigated further but not before Green gives them a long lecture on the proper handling of evidence. 
 

The contestants head back to their rooms, either sent there by the detectives or in order to figure out their next step. As they enter the hallway heated voices can be heard coming from one of the bedrooms, the yelling getting louder and louder. 

“I swear I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Elizabeth’s voice can be heard on the verge of tears. Hearing how upset she is causes the contestants to go rushing into the room where they find her sobbing with Sophia and Alexander both yelling accusations at her.

“We know it was you! There’s no point in hiding it now!”

Elizabeth looks over to the contestants, a pleading look in her eyes. “I-I didn’t…” Sophia stops her mid sentence by shoving a piece of paper in her face.

“Explain this then. You’re the one here with the motive!”

 

Elizabeth’s eyes grow large as she studies the paper, she chokes back a sob.”I didn’t.. I didn’t have a choice.” Reaching behind her she pulls out a gun and holds it out in front of her, waving it back and forth wildly. “He made me do it… He deserved it, I know you all agree.”

 

Requirements:

• You must show what choice your contestant makes

• You must show Sophia and Alexander confronting Elizabeth

• You must show Elizabeth with the gun

 

Your round must end with Elizabeth pulling out the gun. Remember the choices you make this round will majorly affect the finale’s story.

Deadline - August 27th 11:59PM GMT +8

After the discovery of the knife in the garden the Detectives order all the contestants to their rooms. Watching from their windows the contestants can see the Detectives conduct a thorough search of the garden surveying every inch of the area. 

 

Hours pass before Detective Scarlett knocks on your contestants door. He looks them up and down, “Someone here knows something that they aren’t telling me, so I’m going to give you a choice. Give me a name and I’ll make sure if you were involved in any way that information can disappear. If you know who did this, even if you helped them, tell me and I’ll make sure nothing happens to you.”

 

You can choose to have your character name no one, a judge or a contestant character.

 

This is a sabotage round, make sure to read the rules on the Mx Disney website for the full information on how sabotage rounds work.

Requirements:

• You must show Detective Scarlett coming to your contestants room

​

Deadline - July 4th 11:59PM GMT +8

Early in the morning the contestants are awoken by a knock on their door. Elizabeth is waiting at the door and invites each of the contestants down to breakfast served by her and her grandmother. They can tell by the redness in her eyes that she has been crying, it doesn’t look like she’s slept much. The storm seems to finally have broken with the sun shining through the windows as they make their way down to the dining room.

 

At the breakfast table, Carla fusses over them, insisting she makes them whatever they want. As time goes on, the contestants might realize that Chaeri and Arabella are not there. If they ask about it, Carla will mention that the detectives let them go, they are no longer suspects. The contestants begin to notice Carla looking more annoyed than usual, she seems to be struggling with breakfast. Maua asks Carla if she needs any help with it, “Oh no, I’m sorry it’s taking so long, they took all the knives you see. Something about needing to test them all.” 

 

After everyone has been eating for around an hour Katrina finally saunters into the dining room. She snaps her fingers at Elizabeth, “I need a drink, now.” The Detectives follow shortly after with Sophia and Alexander, “Glad to see everyone is awake, everyone being together makes this so much easier.” Detective Green grins at the group. 

 

Scarlett pulls a piece of paper from his coat, some contestants may recognise it as the will that they saw the previous night. “New evidence has come to light, and it doesn’t shine kindly on a lot of you. This here is Charles’ will, I will be reading the most crucial parts to you all now.” 

 

Detective Scarlett clears his throat. “All shares in my businesses as well as all current contracts I leave to my associate Mr. Pierre Augustin, entrusting he’ll finish what I started.” Green gives a sharp look towards Snow as Scarlett continues speaking. “To my good friend Oliver Ratcliffe, who has always been by my side, I leave my art collection which I trust he will hold close to his heart.” Green shoots another glance this time towards Ratcliffe.

 

“My estates, money and all other worldly possessions I leave to my beloved wife Jessica White…” At this Katrina stands up screaming, “This must be an old will, I demand it be checked! Charles would never!” Miles raises his hand, “Please let me continue Miss White I can assure you this is quite correct. To my wife Katrina, I leave you with the amount of love you have in your heart for me, absolutely nothing.” Katrina begins to scream again, picking up the drink Elizabeth had brought her and throwing it against the wall. ”I WISH I HAD KILLED HIM! HE’LL BURN IN HELL FOR THIS!” She knocks some plates off the table before storming out of the room continuing to scream. Scarlett turns to Green, “Follow her and make sure there are no more murders committed in this house.” Green sighs annoyed but does as he’s told.

 

Scarlett clears his throat again as Elizabeth hurries to clean up the mess on the floor. “There is one last section I would like to share just in case it applies to anyone here. ‘To anyone who comes forward claiming to be my child legitimate or otherwise will receive nothing’.” Scarlett looks around the room, “As you can see, we will need to be examining you all closely as these new motives have come to light. No one is to leave this mansion unless told otherwise. And seeing how several of you are unable to follow simple commands explicitly made for your own safety” he glares at several of them, if not all “I recommend you follow this one as I won’t be as lenient as I was last night.” He turns on his heel and exits the room. Carla glances around the room quickly. “Does anyone want some tea?”

 

The contestants will have the rest of the day to do as they please as long as they stay in the mansion but they will be closely watched by both Detectives. 

 

If the contestants choose to spend time in the garden, (the detectives have allowed this due to the fact that it is fenced in and the police cars are still outside keeping everyone in):

 

Walking through the garden, a glint of something shiny hits the contestants eye. Something gleams from one of the garden beds close to the house. If someone chooses to investigate a large kitchen knife can be found sticking out from one of the bushes. The knife appears to be clean but from its positioning it is clear that it fell or was thrown from one of the windows. The contestants can choose to keep this information to themselves or inform the detectives.

 

If the contestants choose to go to the west wing:

 

From a neighboring room, the contestants can hear the voices of Carla and Elizabeth. There is visible distress in their tone “What are we supposed to do grandma?? We have nothing! Nowhere to go, no finances-” Elizabeth cries out. “Shh shh, now dear, we need to calm down. We will figure something out, but to do that, you need to keep yourself together. Can you do that?” Carla speaks quietly. Elizabeth does not respond, but one can tell that in her silence there is agreement and attempts to do so.

 

If the contestants choose to the east wing:

From a neighboring room the contestants can hear the raised voices of Alexander and Sophia. “I’ve looked through everything. This is ridiculous. We had a deal Soph.” Alexander sighs. “I know. It’s completely aggravating. His death is no question well deserved.” The sounds of footsteps give the impression that she’s pacing around the room. “I want my money. I did too much for that scumbag to just get away with making us look like fools.” “He made us both look like fools. But one thing is for sure. It won’t happen again.” Alexander’s voice is dark, “Exactly.”

 

This is a photoshoot round, you must include a photo of your character’s reaction to the reading of the will. This can be any part of the reading.

 

Requirements:

• You must show the reading of the will

• You must show how your character spends the rest of the day

Is that correct?” Sophia pushes her way to the front of the group, “This way please.” She runs off towards the hallway and Detective Miles follows behind her. Detective Mason turns to the group of contestants, “None of you are going anywhere, this is an active crime investigation, I’ll need to start taking statements.”

 

“Alright all of you follow me.” Detective Mason leads the contestants through the house quickly glancing in each room before stopping in one of the many lounge rooms. “This will do, all of you can wait here for now. We’ll call you in, one by one, don’t go anywhere and don’t touch anything.” Mason leaves the room and goes to join the investigation, the contestants will be left alone for 30 minutes before both the detectives return so you can use this time to talk to the other contestants.

Study

Sophia pulls out a paper triumphantly “Yes-!” She looks up shocked seeing the contestants standing there, a voice booms behind them. “What is that you found there?” Detective Miles pushes past the contestants and grabs the paper from her hands. The words Last Will and Testament can be seen scrawled across the top.

 

Lounge

Walking past the lounge room the contestants will see the flickering light of the fireplace, peeking through the door, Katrina can be seen on the phone pacing. “Can you believe it, bastard is finally gone.

The weather begins to worsen throughout the night and rain and thunder can almost be heard over the blaring music. The party has started to wind down for the night and a lot of the guests have started to trickle out and head home. The contestants for one reason or another are some of the last guests to remain at the party. Charles and Katrina are mingling around and talking to their remaining guests, this might be your character's last chance to talk to them before they leave. 

 

Charles excuses himself from the guests for a moment, “We should have a final toast, wish us well on our journey. You all wait right here, this occasion calls for only the best refreshments.” before disappearing towards the cellar. As the storm rages on the lights in the building begin to flicker before turning off completely plunging the mansion into complete darkness. As some of the contestants start to panic, Alexander Plum’s voice can be heard, “The storm probably caused the power to go out. Not to worry, I can fix it.” After a few minutes the power returns to the building, during the blackout due to the darkness the contestants will be unable to find any of the judge characters. If the characters want to take this chance to move freely around the mansion they will have a few minutes to do so without anyone watching before the power is restored.

 

As the power turns on Chaeri is walking through one of the mansion's many hallways. As the lights flicker on a body on the floor in a pool of blood is illuminated before them. Charles lies dead on the floor, a broken bottle of wine lies next to him. Carla runs into the hallway behind them, “Oh, sorry this area is off limits you should really head back to the…” Carla freezes seeing the body and lets out a loud screech causing the rest of the contestants as well as the judge characters to run into the room. Alexander and Elizabeth are the last two to arrive at the scene. Katrina screams and throws herself onto her husband’s body, she starts wildly pointing at everyone around her, “Which one of you was it, MURDERERS!” Sophia, looking pale, announces that she will go and call the cops before running out the room.

 

Elizabeth steps forward placing a hand on Katrina’s shoulder attempting to comfort her. Katrina whirls around and slaps her across the face. “Get away from me! My Charles is dead!” The contestants can attempt to comfort her if they wish, if they attempt to leave the scene Alexander will block the door. “I don’t think anyone should leave, I mean there’s been a murder!”
