Here’s a great party idea and central theme perfect for glamorous special events, fund raiser galas and socials, even birthdays and wedding receptions!…have a “Pink Panther Diamond Heist Mystery Game"  ala Monte Carlo Masquerade Ball! 

Guests are encouraged to come dressed out in full (or over the top!) French fashion fantasy (we will also provide an assortment of fun chic props and costume items, feather boas, tiaras, fedoras, etc.). The ladies, all dressed out in their finery enjoy getting their paparazzi photos with the lovable, bumbling detective during the reception! 

(See more great "shots in the dark" taken with guests at a variety of national "Pink Panther Diamond Heist" games, below!!!)

Mai Oui! Optionally, during reception and dinner we can provide ultra cool & chic bossa nova, cha cha jet-set tunes, ala the optional Pink Panther DJ, for great mood music, and "Inspector Clouseau" may also wow your guests as he is quite the talented moonlighting international Paris, French Riviera and Monte Carlo resort lounge jazz singer, and can croon with "I Love Paris," "The Girl From Ipanema," "Come Fly With Me," "Strangers In The Night"  and more ala Frank Sinatra...in fact, he is known affectionately as "French-Fried Frank!"

"Inspector Clouseau" fresh in from Paris for this special assignment  just happens to have accidentally brought with him the suitcase that his "Paris Can-Can Dancer Girls" pack their skirts, feather boas and headresses in. To help liven up his performance, he recruits 3 or 4 ladies from the audience to fill those skirts (easily and quickly worn like jazzy aprons with Velcro straps waistbands)  and be his substitute "Can-Can Dancers!"

Everyone loves this and the cameras always come out to capture the fun! Below, here's a grainy "still-frame" photo taken from a video of the "Pink Panther Diamond Heist"  party  in San Diego for a hospital fund-raiser gala..

"Inspector Clouseau” begins game with announcement that the "Pink Panther Diamond" that was on display has again been stolen during the reception!
       

By "interrogating" the guests, Inspector Clouseau  will provide clues as to who the international jewel thief "The Phantom" may be.  Every  guest  is indeed a possible suspect, as it's divulged that "The Phantom" has actually never been apprehended, so they may be a man or a woman, and considered an ingenius and stealthy master of disguise!!!( this is actually mentioned by "Inspector Clouseau" himself, in the movie "The "Return Of The Pink Panther").

"The Phantom" may assume any identity to get close enough to snatch the prized "Pink Panther" diamond, which happens at this very special display!

Clues will be subtlely revealed, but unheralded, so that the quick-witted guests will pick up hints to where the “Pink Panther” diamond is hidden, leading up to the solution. There will be prizes awarded to the guest/s offering the correct solution on the crimesolver forms, (in the event of more than one correct solution, the names of those guests will be drawn from out of Inspector Clouseau's chapeau!) Oh, and  possibly a “fun arrest” at the conclusion. (spoiler alert - call and we'll explain who "The Phantom" turns out to be!)

The ladies love "Inspector Clouseau!"

   
In addition to his  30+ years as a national variety celebrity impersonator and professional emcee, Tim Beasley was a regular actor in the original "murder mysteries" that flourished throughout the east coast resorts in the 80's - 90's. This is the very solid foundation of experience that makes this production so smooth, fun and entertaining! 

Oooo-La-La! Here "Inspector Clouseau" enjoys toasting the guests with a fabulous drink, made especially for this party, a  "Pink Panther Potion!"

Here's some more recent 'Pink Panther Diamond Heist" fun in San Diego, California and Rochester, New York.....there's a lot of country between the two for "The Phantom" to strike! 

Another grand "Pink Panther Diamond" appearance for an "I Love Paris" birthday party!
