A Feast For A King

The Story

King George the First immediately appointed others into position of power and leadership. Although those appointments were questioned by the peasants of the kingdom at the time they were made, they were not contested by any members of aristocracy and the positions were immediately filled with King George the First's friends.

It is widely known that King George the First enjoys feasting around a full table each and every night. In fact, rumor has it that King George the First has yet to eat an evening feast where the table has not been full. Tonight each of you has been invited to dine with the king, to fill his banquet table at his evening feast, to be his guest for an evening, and to enjoy the entertainment fit for a king, just as others have each and every evening that King George the First has been in power.

But tonight there is something different about the evening feast.

Earlier today King George the First heard rumors that there were those within the castle who had come with plans to contest the throne. He called his two best royal magistrates to his aid, shared with them his dilemma, and under their advice, has called together each who are suspected of planning to contest the throne. Tonight he will put an end to the rumors and cause the culprit to put his claims to the test. Tonight he will host A Feast For A King, for tonight the true King of Helston will be revealed.

The Players

He is the crowned King of Helston, but will he be the crowned king for long?

Her position of power may be in jeopardy. Can she convince the royal magistrates that her husband has been properly placed into a position of power or does she risk losing her head?

Even a royal knight, a symbol of honor and righteousness, can be swayed when an opportunity to assume a position of power and authority comes along. Will he live up to his name, or fall under the pressure?

A simple lady who has devoted her life to helping others. Is it time she abandons others and begins to help herself -- to the throne?

A firm ruler who lets no crime go unpunished. Will his opinion change if it is he who is to be punished?

She has no patience for those unfortunate people who happen to be members of the lower class. Her sights are set on royalty, but what happens if she falls short?

A kind Lord who is well respected can be changed when he gets a taste of greed and power. Will he fall under the pressure or remain good and true to the King?

A lady who is generous and kind can be easily swayed to give up her ways and follow her husband to the top, can't she?

A firm military man is a perfect candidate for a new king. Don't you agree?

She'd be happy to rule alongside of her husband. Can you blame her?

"Power for the Peasants. Pug for King." A war cry, as far as Braxton's concerned. Can a working man be king?

She'll support her husband as he tries to change the laws so that a peasant can become king and rule the way that aristocrats will never reign. Will they get their way?

What strong country has a good and kind king? None that Alistar can think of. His call for a strong and bold king may be answered, but will the answer include him?

What hope does a wench have for royalty? Just ask her, she'll be more than happy to tell you what she thinks!

A simple blacksmith cares little for the happenings of the castle. That is until a simple blacksmith gets the opportunity to be a major part of those happenings. How can he possibly refuse?

The baker has been faithful and true to her king, but you never know what someone is going to do when they have their sights set on royalty and get an opportunity to realize their dreams.

"A simple peasant has no cares for the things of kings. Why bother with the cares and concerns of the castle," that's what Fletcher would tell you if you asked.

Darby would agree with Fletcher. Leave them alone so that they can go about their business.

Surely you must be joking! A royal jester attempting to make a claim for the throne? What a good laugh you'll have at his claims!

Fester may not agree with Fisk, but the two of them will make you laugh, that's for sure!

Even a Royal Magistrate is not without guilt. Although it is up to them to lead the investigation, they too may have their sights set on royalty!

Even a Royal Magistrate is not without guilt. Although it is up to them to lead the investigation, they too may have their sights set on royalty!

The Details

A Feast For A King - A Medieval Mystery is a mystery dinner that involves between 14 to 22 people. Each person plays a part in the drama that unfolds as the evening progresses. The dinner takes about five hours to play, including the time that it takes to eat, and can be played by anyone who is able to take part in deductive reasoning. The game works best with Junior High aged teen-agers thru adults.

Everything that you need to put on A Feast For A King, except the food and the paper the game is printed on, is included in the files that you receive when you order the game. Complete instructions, with the ability to contact me with further questions, are given for each person who is to help prepare for the evening.

I am also willing to come and moderate the game for you. I've done this for many groups in the past, whether for retreats or special events within the church. This gives everyone in your group the opportunity to play the game and cuts down on your preparation time. I enjoy having the opportunity to meet new people and I also enjoy having the opportunity to take part in the game yet again. Contact me for further details.

What People are Saying About
A Feast For A King - A Medieval Mystery

This dinner is brand new. Only a few groups have played it to date. I am still soliciting specific comments that will be posted here, but as of yet they aren't ready to be posted.

I can say that the groups have enjoyed themselves and desire to play another mystery dinner because of the enjoyable experience.

More information to come shortly.
