Serata in Giallo: Il Mistero del Nuraghe 1995

Serata in Giallo (Evening of Mystery) is the premier collection of murder mystery games to appear in Italy. The players are invited to an Evening of Mystery, during the course of which each player enacts the role of one of the protagonists of the event. The games unfold in “acts” with a theatrical flavor, and the game may or may not include an "investigation team."

Il Mistero del Nuraghe (The Mystery of the Nuraghe)

The “nuraghe,” as they are known, are mysterious ancient stone buildings that are found only in Sardinia… Andrea Centofanti had been fine-tuning his personal theory that held that the nuraghe were none other than the “birthplace of fire." In order to verify his theory, he had decided to go to Sardinia to live for a few weeks inside a nuraghe. Four other people went with him, with the idea of spending a vacation that was a bit outside of the ordinary—without some of the comforts of home and without electric power. They thought they had prepared for everything, but none of them had counted on the tragedy that soon befalls them. Angelo Corsini, one of the members of the expedition, dies in the blaze that he himself mysteriously creates in the nuraghe where he sleeps!
