About Plotted Creatives

I’m a working mom, a wife, a coach, and my 92-year-old father-in-law’s caretaker. Free time is not abundant, but occasionally my fellow neighborhood moms come together to play a murder mystery tabletop game. We sift through evidence, rule out suspects, and come to a consensus on who the murderer is.

I want to feel like I finished a really good book or movie, where the character relationships and motivations seem real. I want to be emotionally invested in their outcomes. I want a more intertwined story.

I only saw two types of games:

1. those you act out (not for me)
2. single murder tabletop games

I didn’t see double murder mysteries. And I thought wouldn’t it be more fun to make it more challenging (for me as the creator, really) to have a cold case and a fresh murder that connected?

Plotted Creatives was born after sitting in the kid pickup line at my daughter’s school, coming up with geniusly clever literary company names — that were already taken. So. Many. Literary term companies. The games are creative. Their storylines are carefully plotted.

Plotted Creatives. Done.
