Murder Mystery Party

The invitation we received read:

"It's 1920 and the American economy is booming. Employment is high, new inventions and mass production have improved people's standard of living, and life, for many, is good. Prohibition had been created with the intention of providing a healthier, happier, safer, and more efficient America. These are the jazz years, with new music and dances, new and daring fashions, it is a time of hedonistic pleasure for many.

Don Wannabe is hosting a grand opening celebration for his new speakeasy The Four Deuces and you are invited to attend. The Four Deuces is a lavish joint serving booze and music in the front. In the back is the gambling hall. The cream and not so cream of society will be here. With gangsters, hit men, politicians, opera singers, molls and many other interesting guests in attendance there are sure to be a lot of big deals being made here tonight."

We were given individual character description, costume suggestions, clues and secrets to disclose at various points in the evening. Although we all had lots of fun, the twists in the tale, along with the alcohol meant that nobody had the faintest idea who the murderer was! We did have a great time though!
