|
The puzzle book recipient's birthday party has certainly been a party to remember! Not only did many of their friends and family attend, but six friendly monsters also came. Many of the monsters brought unusual presents and one of the monsters even sniffed the birthday child's aura!
There was also a grand birthday banquet! This featured the traditional birthday food fare, of crisps, jelly, pizza and sausages on sticks. But there were also six exotic banquet “pièce de résistances”. These included a six tier birthday cake and a roast suckling pig!
However not all the monsters were well behaved. One monster was guilty of “Birthday Banquet Gluttony”. In that, when no one was looking, this monster sneaked up to the birthday feast, naughtily stole one of the banquet dishes, and greedily gulped it down within seconds! However it did them little good. Their gluttony resulted in an unfortunate and embarrassing physical consequence. Which made the guilty monster go red with embarrassment and caused all the other party guests to laugh!
The puzzle book recipient is tasked with identifying the greedy monster, working out what item the monster stole from the birthday tea table, and discovering what unfortunate physical consequence the monster suffered as a result of gulping it down!

Solving the puzzles will allow the investigator to eliminate monsters, banquet items and unfortunate physical consequences until only the guilty items remain.
OTHER ITEMS TO DISCOVER
As well as solving the mystery, the puzzle book recipient will need to try and answer the following six questions:
- What does Belinda the Big Pink Aura Sniffer think that the birthday child's aura smells of?
- What unusual creature will hatch out of the egg that Ethelbert the Enormous Egg Eater has brought as a present for the birthday child.
- What strange flavoured soup has Campbell the Scottish Soup Dragon brewed a vat of for the birthday child?
- Using his skills of numerology, what prediction for the months ahead has Norris the Number Crunching Dinosaur forecast for the birthday child?
- What song does Minnie the Musical Minotaur sing to guide the birthday child successfully through her labyrinth?
- What bizarre electrical gadget has Volt the Electrical Cyclops brought as a present for the birthday child?
TWO BOOKS EACH WITH A DIFFERENT SOLUTION
There are two different books to choose from - Book 1 and Book 2. Each book has a different solution. For example in book 1 Belinda might have binged on the humble pie and developed humungous hiccups. While in book 2 Ethelbert might have wolfed down the six tier birthday cake and developed well whiffy wind! Also, where possible, the individual puzzles within the books have different solutions.
This enables you to give a copy of "Monster Birthday Party" to two people living in the same house and each of them will still have their own unique challenge.

MERRYMURDER SWEEPSTAKE
There is also provision in the book to have a merrymurder sweepstake. Before puzzling commences, interested parties can draw monsters, banquet items, and unfortunate physical consequences from a hat. When the solution is discovered, those people who drew the guilty monster, banquet item, and unfortunate physical consequence can each claim a small prize.
