It’s New Years Eve at the DeBubbles Champagne Vineyards and Distillery in Champagne, France. The DeBubbles mansion is always the place to be at the stroke of midnight - the champagne flows as easily as the conversation. That is, until patriarch of the DeBubbles family fortune, grandpa Delroy DeBubbles, winds up dead!
Who could have executed such a dastardly plot on such a happy occasion? Was it Delroy’s second wife, Babette DeBubbles? Or perhaps the head winemaker for the rival LeCorque family, Monte Pulciano? Could it have been a disgruntled patron, like Reese Ling or employee, Mary Tage?There’s only one way to find out - play Murder By Midnight!
But hold onto your champagne because the killer could be YOU! Appropriate for ages 13+! This game takes 1-2 hours to play depending on your group size.
