About Merri Mysteries

We started this business in 1995. Originally we were in Australia (in Cairns). Then we moved to the USA and incorporated as Merri Mysteries Inc. in the USA. Now after 15 years in the USA, we have moved back to Australia. Merri Mysteries is now a trading name of our company Zarya Pty Ltd. We write and sell our own mystery party game kits.

Director Of Merri Mysteries Inc: Stephanie Chambers

Stephanie is the Director of Merri Mysteries Inc. Stephanie has been a writer since 1987. She has done technical writing, medical writing, magazine articles, poetry and fiction. Earth Garden published a book by her called “Getting Started In The Country”. Stephanie has written most of the Merri Mysteries mystery party games. She has also written an e-book called “House plans, home builders and dreams”.

She studied biology and ended up with a science degree majoring in physiology. However, before she left university she realized that she would rather write about science than spend her days with test tubes. She had already realized that she had a forte in writing, so she asked her friends who were studying journalism for tips on how to write articles. Since then she has worked as freelance journalist and medical writer.

She worked for ten years as a technical writer, which she found she had a natural flair for, given her enthusiasm for learning about anything and everything. Since 1998 she has been busy writing all the mystery party games for Merri Mysteries and running this as a full-time business.

Stephanie also does website and marketing work for Restarting Relationships and Ardent Counseling Center.
