On New Year’s Eve, Douglas Manor throws open its oak doors for the most lavish Hogmanay gala in living memory—ceilidh fiddles blazing, tartan masks glittering, and fireworks poised to crown the midnight bells. But as the last reel echoes through the great hall, the festivities freeze: a reveler lies dead, a dagger glints where good cheer should reign, and every guest suddenly wears two masks—one of mirth, one of murder.
You’ll chase rumors through candle-lit corridors, swap secrets for first-foot tokens, and weigh every sgian-dubh and champagne glass for hidden meaning. When the clock tolls twelve, truth will strike harder than any bell—if you can piece it together in time.
Slip on your mask, tighten your sash, and step into Midnight Masquerade & Murder—where the only thing louder than the bagpipes is the whisper of suspicion.
