SYNOPSIS:  A group of strangers are summoned to the mansion of Colonel Jock Muckhousen for the reading of his will. After introductions, Mr. Muckhousen's lawyer tells the group that they have to spend the night in the haunted mansion to "win" the treasured inheritance. Through exceptional rational powers, they all realize at the same time that someone or some ghost is going to try to scare them out of the inheritance so they each devise a plan to rid the mansion of the other guests and become the last man standing. This sets up the audience participation element with an evening "Clue Quest" in which the audience is ushered out of the theatre by one of the characters to find the hidden key to the treasure. The first team to locate the key by solving the "Clue Quest" riddles wins the treasure. Of course, the "Clue Quest" is optional; the play could be performed as a one-hour play.
