A murder mystery style game has been created for those of you interested in some Roleplaying and LARPing. You can find all of the information for it copy-pasted after the break!
What is a 'murder mystery game' ?
A murder party is a kind of roleplaying/LARP (Live Action RolePlaying) game. Somewhere between theater and Clue (the board game), it is the representation of a scene in a given setting, usualy going for a few hours.
For example, in the mansion of a rich aristocrat, during a reception, the body of said aristocrat have been found dead. The killer is most likely one of the guests. The police will not arrive before several hours.
Each player will play the role of one of the witnesses and try to resolve the mystery, as well as some eventual side objectives. The widow might try to find the killer, but the servant who stole money earlier might find himself in a tight spot, even when he didn't commit the crime. The killer have to hide its intentions, and everyone have it's own agenda, friends and enemies.

What is the twist then ?
Usually, players in a mystery game compete against each other. As this work is based on My little pony : Friendship is magic, obviously there is no murder. I tried to make it so there are things to discover and fun to be had, all the while keeping the whole game a cooperative event.
------------------
Of course, since playing that game is similar to living out a detective story, there is little point in playing it twice, because then everyone will know the culprit.
The game is composed of a several files, one for each role (that explains who that person is, what s/he can do and what s/he knows), as well as a few extras for the organizers.
All files are linked HERE, but that link should only be used by organizers, of course.

Murder? In my friendship?!
Cool. This'd be fun to see at meetups.
It's always Mrs. White with the rope! ALWAYS! The only question is where?
"Friendship is Magic Murder Mystery Game"
"As this work is based on My little pony : Friendship is magic, obviously there is no murder."
Waaaait. :P
But seriously, this sounds like a really cool idea. I'd certainly love to participate in this.
We're gonna know about it, know about it big time.
And I know just who's going to tell me all about it.
TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT BIG TIME.
It was definitely Fluttershy with the Parasprite in SugarCube Corner.
Rarity killed Rainbow Dash in the Boutique with the sowing machine
sowine machine code!
It was Pinkamina, in Sugarcube Corner, with the Cupcakes!
awww no murder. What cop out.

It was always Professor Plum in the billiard room when I played...
I've never played one of those before but I have heard from a few people that they can be fun when done right. A hell of a lot of work would have to go into it for everything to work right.
If there was ever an excuse to have fan art of Twilight dressed as Sherlock Homes, I think this is it.
@DSNesmith
Aaaaaaaaand cue Cupcakes reference, right on time!
Wha'd'ya want from me!?Wha'd'ya want from me!?

No foolin'?
...Huh. Guess the game works differently for different people.
Well, this is good news.
I'm interested. This kind of game sounds like it would be good for inquisitive types like me. Just be careful about going into the kitchen with Applejack while she has the lead pipe...
It's more likely than you think.
Never done anything like this before, but I keep getting more and more interested every time I see one.
This one is better...

@GabuEx
ikr?
I know the guy who did this! Gongrats Hasdiel!
It's going to be Pinkie, always will be. Even if you ignore all fanfics, all one needs is to watch Party of One to see that Pinkie is fully capable of violence. I can't say the same for any other pony .

Fluttershy, The Best Night Ever. just a little more push...
@Anonymous
What could be more push for Fluttershy than animals not loving her?
@Anonymous
Zecora eating Henriett- I mean, 'buffalo wings'.
*slaps Rarity*
...well, I had to stop her screaming...
TL:DR Even so, the answer is Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie is the murder.
Oh my gosh, Clue movie Reference! You win at life.
