Mrs. PeacockSecrets of Your Past:
You were a beautiful teacher that taught history at BYU. Last year you were forced to retire due to
the unbearable Professor Plum who found out your secret. You had been bribing students to
come to class and tell everyone how wonderful you are in order to get tenure. He was envious of
all your star pupils including the intelligent Mr. Body and Miss Scarlet.
On a side note, you have the biggest crush on law teacher Mr. Green and wish that he would just ask
you out already but know that he just doesn't have the guts.
Mr. Body has invited you to dinner to reconnect and talk about the most recent history news.
Miss ScarletSecrets of Your Past:
You are an extravagant woman who loved to be part of the in crowd where ever you went. As the number one cheerleader from the University of Utah you had everything. Unfortunately Colonel Mustard saw right through all your secrets. He
knew you lied about your age on you application to the University.
When your coach found out you were forced to go back to high school (your living Hell) until the next
year in which you would graduate. After graduation you attended BYU to and became a
mediocre cheerleader there. At BYU you met Mr. Body in your favorite class, history, where Mrs.
Peacock was your teacher. You have always resented Colonel Mustard for exposing you and
giving up the life you deserved. You have been invited to dinner to reconnect with Mr.
Body as old time college friends.
Mr. BodySecrets of Your Past:
You have a connection to all the guests tonight and know they have connections to each other as well.
But what those may be you have no clue. You invited everyone over to expose their secrets and to get rid of all the bad air that has been circling around your
friends. Hopefully a get together will make everything go away.
Mrs. Peacock: your favorite history professor at BYUMiss Scarlet: Your friend from college at BYUProfessor Plum: your fatherMrs. White: Professor's house keeper and your "second mom"Colonel Mustard: Helped him find his true calling of the Army after collegeMr. Green: Your Old law professor and on the Law board with your FatherMiss Crimson: you little sister Sgt. Gray: your sister's secret lover whom you help your little sister meet secretly from time to time
Professor PlumSecrets of Your Past:
You are a prestigious professor that sits on the law board with Mr. Green. You also have the job of
patrolling your fellow teachers at BYU to make sure they are following the Honor Code. While listening in to Mrs. Peacock's history class you found out she was bribing students to come to
class and tell everyone she was the best teacher in order to get tenure. You exposed her secret
forcing her to retire.But your funds are running low. The university just
doesn't pay the same anymore and you are required to keep your reputation. The only one who knows about your situation is your house
keeper Mrs. White. You just hope she doesn't tell the law board like she sometimes threatens she
will if she is not paid well.Your daughter Miss Crimson is in town and your son
Mr. Body invited you to dinner with them.
Ms. White Secrets of Your Past:You hate your job as house keeper of Professor Plum's mansion, but it pays well...only because you know his secret that he is a poor professor who fires innocent
teachers. Therefore you threaten to expose him whenever he even hints at letting you go. His funds are running low and so is his reputation. But looking for a job is difficult so you don't mind black mailing
him, however much you might hate the family. Especially the daughter Miss Crimson. She was always
rude to you. Leaving you to do all the dishes after dinner, stealing clothes from your own limited closet, and bringing bratty dirty boys home you had to clean up after. Her latest crush, Sgt. Gray, is no exception. And even though the Professor dislikes him you still
see him sneaking in and out at night. You are completely fed up with Miss Crimson’s attitude, but the worst of all is that she knows your secret....Sgt. Gray is your son. You had to give him up while he was a baby. The worst part is Sgt. Gray does not even know this!
But Miss Crimson threatens to ruin everything! Including the fact that you live at the professor's to be close to Sgt. Gray and if Crimson exposes your secret
you'd done for, fired, jobless, no son and loss reputation.
In contrast to Miss Crimson, Mr. Body is the sweet boy of Professor Plum that always treated you well. He will
be hosting his party tonight and invited you to join him.
Colonel MustardSecrets of Your Past:
You attended the University of Utah where you excelled in all areas of your bachelor degree and to pride in upholding standards of the university. While making sure everything was running smoothly in the
athletic compliance office you noticed one small detail overlooked last year. Miss Scarlet, the exceptional
cheerleader at Utah was underage. You exposed her secret sending her back to high school.
After your Bachelors you were destined to become the most successful lawyer and you applied to all the top schools including BYU. When law board member Mr. Green read your resume he was appalled and denied you the opportunity of attending BYU. But the worst
part was that he told all the other law schools you were unfit. Thus ended you career. Mr. Body helped you get over the heartache by supporting you when you decided to join the army. While serving you met
your best friend Sgt. Gray and have been inseparable ever since.
Mr. Body has now invited you to your house to reminisce about the good old' times.
Mr. GreenSecrets of Your Past:As a successful lawyer back in your hay day you decided to retire and teach the law at BYU. You
thoroughly enjoy scaring the students’ wits out of them and sit on the board of directors with Professor Plum. You denied Colonel Mustard
admission into the program because you saw that he was "simply just unfit". But you have to be cruel to students to keep up your image. If you
don't then Sgt. Gray just might reveal you secret that you have been stalking Mrs. Peacock for 5
years now due to what you call her unbelievable knowledge and beauty of past and present.
Mr. Body was in one of you law classes and has invited you here to reconnect.
Sargent GraySecrets of Your Past:
A Sargent in the Army you are looked upon as a respectable man, but underneath you hold a secret. You love Miss Crimson. She is the daughter of the
impossible Professor Plum, a BYU law professor that just doesn’t like you for some odd reason. You cannot
marry the girl because her father would cut her off from her fortune and you would be kicked out of the army thus losing your reputation and friend Colonel Mustard. Despite all the hardships you keep seeing
Miss Crimson behind her father's back. You just have to be sure the House keeper Mrs. White will keep
quiet; after all she did catch you sneaking out of the house the other night.
But you know a secret of your own, Mr. Green an old law professor and colleague of Professor Plum is in a
similar position as you but gets no action. He has been trying to get with Mrs. Peacock for 5 years, stalking her around town. You saw him last month and called him out on it. He pleaded for you to keep his secret and
you have been true to your word.Miss Crimson's brother Mr. Body has become a great friend in all these secret visits and has invited you to
dinner.
Miss CrimsonSecrets of Your Past:You are the sweet daughter of Professor Plum and love all the gifts your daddy bestows on you. The one thing you don’t like is his maid, Mrs., White
and you know she doesn’t like you. But that’s not only because you are a spoiled brat, you know
that the love of your life Sgt. Gray is her son and he has no clue. Mrs. White is afraid to tell him
because she does not want to cause a rift in her job and relationships. But you always hold it over
her head that you plan to marry Sgt. Gray and she will have to be your maid forever.
