Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Mrs. White, that surly old maid, made us a rather tasty dinner. She could have gone a little easier on the plum sauce on that duck, though, but we dare not say much about that. After we're done she leads us to the 'Billiards Room'. There's a video on the pool table. We watch it and wonder if maybe it is a hint as to who offed Mr. Boddy. Which movie, about billiards, has found you?
2. We skip out into the hall and visit The Conservatory. A rather fishy place, this. A few too many birds, too. And now we have Mr. Green plucking feathers and aquarium water off of himself. He must be the murderer! Or maybe not. But there's a rope on the floor. Next to the unsoiled perch you spot a movie tape about a thing called "Rope". And here you thought the candlestick was the weapon of choice. Poor ol' dead Mr. Boddy. Anyway, which of these best fits the Hitchcock classic "Rope"?
3. Miss Scarlet has invited us into The Library, where Mrs. Peacock (plumage alert! plumage alert!) is serving tea. Is it safe to drink?, you wonder as you sniff it. But, as this mystery progresses, it is safe to assume that she's also going to show us a movie which might help us figure everything out. Which movie, related to books or authors-and NOT real books or authors, just movie ones- do we see as we guzzle down our seemingly non-toxic tea? (And you seem to like the ambiance of all the daisies in this room...but be careful!)
4. Now we're in the Ballroom. Nice music, nice dancing. Never mind that the person who set this place up is now in the morgue. In a quiet part of the background there is yet another old movie playing about a young girl who would just love to go out dancing like these people are. But, darn it, she's a little too focussed on that the unicorn in her house got broken. Could this be another clue? Anyway, which movie is that?
5. I hope you're noticing all the "bird" references in this. Not to mention Tennessee Williams! I think we are closing in on the muderer. Let's go outside. Get a breath of fresh air. But, yikes, people are buried out here! But, of course, there is a VCR standing very close to Vivien Leigh's headstone. New movie, more to see. Let's watch! Melanie Griffith is on there (such big hair...ugh.). We are looking at "Working Girl" (1988). There was an actress in that that was doubly Oscar nominated for her acting that year. That's pretty rare. One for this one and another about monkeys. Who was that? (And what's with that owl hooting wildly up in that spooky old tree?)
6. Mrs. White calls us back in from that graveyard out back. Thank goodness. It was dark and creepy AND people get murdered here so there's no need to be rushing around in dark places. We greet her in The Hallway and she offers us a snack before bedtime nears. "Blech!", says Colonel Mustard, "You fried these fruits before they were even ripe yet! I'll pass on those!". We all do. Over on the wall is a movie blaring away. Someone named Annie Wilkes is in it while Professor Plum passes by us with his nose deep in a book called "The Langoliers". Hmmm. Despite all that what movie has a character named Annie Wilkes in it?
7. The morning has come and, so far, no new murder(s). Seeing as how we're not restricting ourselves to the rules/rooms in the game "Clue", we decide to do breakfast by the pool. Before breakfast is served we hop in for a dip. How invigorating! Just being in the water makes me feel 40 years younger! As we splash around we notice something glistening on the water floor. AHA! A revolver. We have found the murder weapon. As we jump out of the pool the discussion at the table seems to be all about a new movie called "The Passion Of The Christ"(2004). My goodness, everyone seems so fired up about it! The director of the film in question, Mel Gibson, won his Oscar as Best Director in what year?
8. Let's go into The Kitchen. We really should thank Mrs. White for a lovely breakfast but she's too busy shelling peas to really notice. This whole mystery seems complicated and it somehow reminds you of a movie, released in 1997. The film, as does your sudden sleuthing, seems to have twists and turns at every corner. A workaholic millionaire, probably in the same league as Mr. Boddy was, is celebrating his birthday in a most perplexing way! If a taxi that he's in doesn't go underwater after a crash isn't enough he eventually shoots his own brother and jumps off a building! That he mysteriously ends up in another country, with less than 10 dollars in his pocket, just adds to his "fun". What movie is this one?
9. As you go to The Bedroom for a morning nap, you lay there thinking when you end up on the bed. It is now known that the weapon used was a revolver and it was found in the pool which is next to the garage. So the deed was done, more than likely, near there. But who killed Mr. Boddy? Could it have been a ghost? The driver is now politely honking out your window to take you back home and you only have minutes to name the murderess. Speaking of ghosts, and "Ghost" is in your head now, what was the friendly ghost's name in that 1990 movie who was trying to avenge his own murder and rescue his still living partner?
10. At last! Now you know who did it! And even where Mr. Boddy's murder happened! And it wasn't Plum or Scarlet or Green or Peacock or White or Mustard. It didn't even happen in this mansion! And it WAS a ghost who perhaps possessed one of them, but who knows? But the one whose trigger finger pulled the plug on Boddy is an actress no longer with us. Scroll up and read the clues; it's all quite clear! Which actress?
