Please read the overview and all the descriptions of the suspects before the party. Sometimes we hide clues in these descriptions.

Overview

Melissa Matthews – the girl they all thought would be prom queen – has been attacked by a tiny drone covered in spikes. Her beautiful dress has been ripped to shreds and covered in purple ink.

Who would do such a thing? Was it one of the other girls (or their boyfriends or parents) who wanted the crown? Or was it someone else?

The suspects

Harvey Belvidere

I’m Melissa’s dashingly handsome boyfriend. That’s what she calls me. We’ve been sweethearts for over a year now. We met in a politics class. I can’t believe anyone could be so mean as to do this to her. Dress suggestions: Wear a tuxedo (or suit) and a pale violet boutonniere. Wear a black wig if you don’t have black hair

Amanda Proshnikov

It’s true that I’m the next girl most likely to be the prom queen. Melissa and I had been friends till recently when we had a major falling out over a pair of stilettos we both wanted to buy and wear to the prom. In the end, I let her wear them, but I told her our friendship was over. Dress suggestions: Wear a beautiful prom dress with a matching wrist corsage and beautiful stilettos. Or make something that looks like a prom dress out of crepe paper and wear it over top of normal clothes.

Jiles Rockford

I’m Amanda’s loyal boyfriend. We both love to do latin dancing and my family is taking her with us on a luxury cruise this summer. Even though I would do anything to make her happy, I would never do something like this. Dress suggestions: Wear a tuxedo (or suit) and a boutonniere that matches Amanda’s corsage color.

Hilary Proshnikov

I am Amanda’s mother and it’s true that I have entered Amanda in every possible beauty competition since she was a baby. And I have never let her eat a single ice cream or other dessert because I want her to have good teeth. But it’s just because I want her to make the most of her life and because she is so beautiful, isn’t she? My husband and I are here tonight because I am a teacher at the school and I have to supervise the event. Dress suggestions: Wear a very flowery formal dress. Make yourself look older.

Baresh Proshnikov

I’m Amanda’s father. I’m a lawyer. I mainly do corporation law. I just hope Melissa’s parents don’t press charges against whoever did this. It’s just a teenage prank, after all. In my day, we just threw eggs at people we didn’t like. Now it’s a bit more high tech. Dress suggestions: Wear a tuxedo (or suit). Make yourself look older.

Billi-Jean Johnston

I’m not on the list of likely prom-queens. I’m here with my girlfriends because I’m too much of a nerd and too brainy for any guy to be interested in me. But just because I probably could create a drone, doesn’t mean I did. Someone could have probably just bought one online. Dress suggestions: Wear a pale violet prom dress with a matching wrist corsage. Or make something that looks like a prom dress out of crepe paper and wear it over top of normal clothes. Make sure it has lots of petticoats so it sticks out a lot (eg like a quinceanera dress).

Peoni Penrose

I’m one of the more radical girls and I’m not a dumb superficial beauty queen type. That’s why my dress is more goth – more punk than most. Melissa and I didn’t hang out together so I don’t know why I’m considered a suspect. Dress suggestions: Wear a black goth / punk looking prom dress and matching wrist corsage. Or make something that looks like a prom dress out of crepe paper and wear it over top of normal clothes.

Kade Kenyon

I’m Peoni’s boyfriend. Tuxedos aren’t my normal style. They hide my great tats. Melissa and I were only in one class together – Spanish. Dress suggestions: Wear a tuxedo (or suit) and a boutonniere that matches Peoni’s corsage color. Add some fake tattoos.

Optional authority

Police Officer Chris Truslow (male or female) – I’m a local Police officer. I often get called in to sort out small crimes like this one. But the high-tech nature of this crime makes it more exciting. Dress suggestions: Wear a fake Police uniform or a blue shirt and trousers and carry a notebook and pen.

Optional witnesses

Renny Rettar – I’m not a suspect because I wasn’t in any of Melissa’s classes and so I barely know her. I must admit she is cute though. But don’t tell my prom date that I said that. I’m a footballer and I also do a lot of weight lifting so this tux doesn’t fit me that well. Dress suggestions: Wear a tuxedo (or suit) and a boutonniere. Add some fake bulging muscles underneath.

Elena Evanowich – I used to go to Church with Melissa when we were both around eight years old, but then she switched to another Church so I haven’t had much to do with her for years. So that’s why I’m not a suspect. I’m planning to become a nun so this is probably the last dance I will ever go to. Dress suggestions: Wear a modest prom dress and matching wrist corsage. Or make something that looks like a prom dress out of crepe paper and wear it over top of normal clothes.

Abe Atkinson – I’ve only been in this school for six months, so I barely know anyone, so that’s why I’m not a suspect. But it didn’t stop me from asking a pretty girl to the prom. Dress suggestions: Wear a tuxedo (or suit) and a boutonniere.

Shelley Seagrass – I don’t go to the same school as Melissa. But my boyfriend does. That’s why I’m not a suspect. I work as a lifeguard at the local pool. Dress suggestions: Wear a prom dress and matching wrist corsage. Or make something that looks like a prom dress out of crepe paper and wear it over top of normal clothes.

Oakley Orsarchi – I’ve been in France for six months as an exchange student, so that’s why I’m not a suspect. If you want to practice your French, oui – I’m the person to talk to. Dress suggestions: Wear a tuxedo (or suit) and a boutonniere.

Verity Vallant – I spent the whole time at the prom outside in the car park. That’s why I’m not a suspect. I’m more of an outdoors girl and so is my boyfriend. Dress suggestions: Wear a prom dress and matching wrist corsage. Or make something that looks like a prom dress out of crepe paper and wear it over top of normal clothes.

Terry Trombone (male or female) – I work for the hotel where the prom is being held. I was just here to check everything went smoothly. I was in the foyer at the time when the incident occurred. And just so you know, I don’t play the trombone. It’s just my name. Dress suggestions: Wear black trousers and a white shirt.
