A Recipe for Death

5 – 7 players

The three-star chef George McGregor had closed his renowned restaurant in the Scottish Highlands, as he did every year, in order to celebrate New Year’s Eve with his family and employees in an intimate setting.

At 63, George wanted to retire in the new year. That’s why he announced that he would be revealing his successor this evening. Everyone was awaiting his decision with bated breath. The two chefs, Marcus and Henry, both competing to be George’s successor, served an impressive four-course menu. Everyone ate and drank copious amounts. But at midnight, when the fireworks from the village below started flaring up on the horizon, the renowned chef was found dead on the terrace. How could this New Year’s celebration have ended so tragically?
