Rue Manor: June 23rd, 2013[]

When ABC aired the first episode of their new murder mystery reality game show 'Whodunnit?' People were introduced to the sadistic game of life and death where the killer was among the contestents the entire time, killing them off one by one, day after day until one remained to unmask his or her.

In Season 1, the contestent Cris Crotz, a former Miss Nevada, was revealed to be the killer having 'killed' off 11 other guests through poison, chlorine gas, slingshots, slienced guns, explosions, and immolation.

The popularity of the show grew mainly after the first episode when viewers thought that people were being literally killed, thus forcing the show to do a small follow-up with the 'vicitm' where they'd talk about playing the role of the vicitm while they still wore the makeup from their 'death'.

West Lake Estate[]

Before the butler Giles became embroiled with the murders at Rue Manor, he was involved with another series of murders a year before at West Lake Estate.  He was hired by X to conduct the little game where the guests would be killed off systematically if they failed to solve the case of the last murdered guest.

It was at the very end after 10 murders did the killer reveal themself to be one of the guests, Jacqueline Bossart, an elderly retired nurse.  Before being arrested, she placed a 'curse' on Giles that wherever he worked, murder would follow...

Avandale Resort[]

After the events of Rue Manor, Giles thought he found the perfect escape: the Avandale Resort, a Caribean resort on a island hidden way in the sea...but the curse of Jacqueline Bossart still followed him.

When the entire resort was booked for a company resort, Giles became worried when he was told only 11 people would be coming.  And he had good reason to, for the first night the intern had his chest blown out by a CO2 gun, thus starting the game all over again...

Lone Star Ranch: Today[]

While some of the Warehouse staff went missing for several weeks in Jamacia due to the Hourglass from 'Days of our Lives', Consultants Nola and Sordens quickly rushed to Texas when a faint phone call revealed that a psychotic murder game was unfolding on a dude ranch.

When the staff returned, they showed off their grab, causing one of them to take tthe guise of the new murderer.  Plotting, he/she invited took advantage of a Warehouse Timeshare in Italy...

This time deaths ranged from snake bites with a red herring with a scimitar attack to bee stings covering up a deadly allergic reaction.
