As you would expect from the queen of kids’ crime fiction, there’s a grisly murder to solve and a lineup of dubious suspects that leaves the audience abuzz with theories

Can 50 people play a board game together? That’s the premise for this mystery that has queen of kids’ crime fiction Robin Stevens as a writing consultant. As you would expect from Stevens, there’s a grisly murder to solve, lots of juicy intrigue and a lineup of dubious characters with highly plausible motives.

It’s up to us, says host Danyah Miller, to “get involved and get it solved”. And there’s no one like Miller, who arrives high-fiving the front row, to ensure a young audience’s involvement. I can clearly remember the sense of wonder in the air while she baked a cake in Kika’s Birthday several years ago.
