Put on your detective cap and join us for a unique, interactive night of improv and sleuthing. Prior to the evening every attendee is assigned a character to play within the crime scene, and as the night progresses everyone has the chance to follow their hunches, examine the clues, and ask questions of fellow attendees. One of you is trying to get away with it, while the rest are trying to answer the age-old question: whodunnit?HOW IT WORKS:
~Select your desired involvement level at purchase, with 1 star being the least involved and 5 star being the most involved. Every attendee plays a character, and while 1-2 star parts are low-key you should still expect to be questioned by fellow attendees as they suss out suspects. Want a chance at playing the killer? Go for a 5 star part.
~Read over your character assignment and the full cast of characters when it is sent out a couple weeks before the event. Any gaps you find in the character background are yours to fill as you wish; we provide you with all the information you need as it is relevant to the plot. You'll also use this information to put together your costume for the evening.
~Come ready to mix, mingle, and point fingers whether you're covering your own tracks or not.
