have never believed in fairies!" Rose says, stomping her tiny foot,
"and people who do believe in fairies are silly!"
She's only kidding, though. After all, if a fairy didn't believe in
fairies, that would be pretty silly too, don't you think?
"I don't know why people don't believe in us," she continues. "We've
been playing Fairy Games for thousands of Turnes. You'd think everyone
would know who we are by now!"
Once every Turne, which is kind of like an Earth year but quite a bit
longer, fairies take time out of their busy schedules of playing and
laughing to reveal themselves to humans. On the Festival of Games, one
very special day, the fairies find someone, or some ones, special and
spend an entire afternoon playing Fairy Games. Learn how
fairies live. Eat fairy food. Make fairy art. But what happens if you
don't want to go back home? What will the Dark Fairies
say? You thought it was all just Fairy Games until...

The
sleepy mining town of Eureka hides a secret. About 120 years
ago, “Goldie” Rushmore discovered gold.
Unfortunately, the notorious train robber, Jamie Jesse, stole
it. Pursued by the posse, Jamie stashed the gold somewhere in
the surrounding hills. Jamie Jesse was never caught, and the
gold was never recovered.
Today, the local kids are ready to find the gold. Many have
inherited heirlooms that they believe can help their search. Older
townspeople don’t want to talk about it, prefering not

wouldn’t mind if they were related to an outlaw.
It’s time that the town faced the truth. And the lure of the
legendary gold is irresistible.
A fun mystery game for all ages. Pre-party activities and
extra party games are suggested. Heirlooms provide clues to
solve the mystery; the game culminates in a scavenger hunt.
