Description
Experience Level: Entry
Estimated project duration: 1 - 2 weeks
Num. of words: ~1000
Topic: Murder Mystery
Tone: Witty/Sharp
Extensive research needed: no
Extra notes: We produce and manufacture downloadable and boxed Murder Mystery party games and have been writing them for the last ten years. We have so many projects on the go we'd like to outsource some and Murder Mystery Flexi Party is the perfect format as it allows freelancers to write one character at a time.
If you've never played a Murder Mystery Party game before this assignment may be difficult for you.
Here's the pitch we'd like you to write for:
Brand : Murder Mystery Flexi Party
Working Title : Swords, Sorcery, Sex and Slaughter
Victim : King Toffrey the Younger
How : Stabbed in the back
Where : The Throne room
Suspects - Male
The Black Knight
Sir Prancealot
Thud, the Barbarian
McSporran, the angry Dwarf
Legless, the drunk Elf
Shazam, the wise(ish) wizard
Suspects - Female
Sheena Proudlegs, the Shieldmaiden
Chastity, the Kings intended wife
Crimson Dawn, the Mage
Jewel, the Rogue
Iphelia, the Necromancer
Candida, the Healer
Each character is a self contained work unit (see attachment) and we'd be looking for you to deliver in the same format. Other than the vague outline above everything else is up for grabs - means / motive / opportunity. You would also need to consider how to 'frame' the character for the murder. See the attachment. This is done by having a character say one thing if they're guilty and another thing if they're innocent. At the beginning of the game guests secretly get told if they are guilty or not by drawing cards.
This job offer and expected budget is for delivering one character sheet only. You'd also need to sign over copyright so we can resell and edit if necessary. There will be more work for the right person.
Sample PDF contains
p1-p2 rules
p3-p4 a character sheet (Arnie)
p5-p6 a character sheet (Bridget)
Any questions please ask!
