Where
Set in the bustling metropolis of medieval Bagdad, our story revolves around the shocking murder of arch fixer and cunning schemer, Ali Baba.
Unable to choose between suitors for their daughter Princess Jazmine; King Shahryar and Queen Scheherazade decide to hold a competition, to find the best candidate.
Many impressive contenders try their hand, but all are amazed when the winner is declared to be – Ali Baba, a local Baghdad shopkeeper!
That amazement turns to shock, however, when Marid the Munificent, a hastian blue Genie, appears just before the wedding. He reveals that the groom has just been found poisoned – and wants to know who did it!

When
The year is 1056 and we find ourselves in the lively, bustling city of Baghdad, at the heart of the Persian Empire.
Despite leading his victorious army and bringing wealth to his nation, King Shahryar remains unpopular with his people. The reason can be traced to a period of insanity that befell the King after his first wife betrayed him, when he embarked upon a dreadful campaign of revenge, which saw him marry and then execute a new bride, with the dawn of each new day.
The reign of terror only ceased when his 1000th wife, the present Queen Scheherazade, began to recount an ever-evolving tale of Arabian Nights, which captured his imagination and persuaded him to spare her.
Twenty years later, and the King has more marital problems – only this time in the shape of his daughter – the Princess Jazmine. Despite receiving an array of fine suitors, Jazmine refuses to choose. Eventually the King decides to hold an incredible competition to win his daughter’s hand. Against all odds, the contest is somehow won by a local Baghdad shopkeeper – Ali Baba! However, an even greater shock occurs when the groom’s lifeless body is found poisoned in his storeroom, just hours before the wedding!
Why
The Motives for Murder:
In amongst the trickery and deception that ran through Ali Baba’s life, you will find a none too surprising array of motives for murder:

We had the party tonight, went really well. Everyone laughed a lot. I think its the twists at the end that make your games fun. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and it was really funny and that’s the most important thing. I played your english game last christmas with some friends and that was brilliant as well
Helen B – York –
We had a ball and had 13 in total with the Blue Genie.
The jokes went well. My box of shame (recycling for bottles) has never been at the volume that we hit. It was a great night for all.
Everybody got into character and made a real effort at dressing up.
They made a bit of a sight walking through the village to my house but were even worse going home.
Just considering when to do the pirate one now!

Arabian Nights – We had a LOT of laughs..
