Murder Mystery In There.com
The residents of Fantasy Island recently made a grizzly discovery over at Minxyx’s Place. Upon entering the Saloon, they spotted the body of woman dressed in a hospital gown dangling by a noose from the barn rafters. The woman was a mental patient who had escaped from the hospital. At first glance the authorities presumed it was an open and shut case of suicide, but on closer inspection it was clear that something far more sinister had occurred.
Can you read the suicide note the escaped patient left behind and follow the clues throughout the Fantasy Island Neighborhood to solve the murder mystery? Put your sleuth skills to the test and figure out this case of Whodunnit!
Solve the Fantasy Island Freaky Festival murder mystery in There.com for a chance to win a one of a kind Whodunnit buggy! The murder mystery competition runs until Sunday, October 30th.
