BACKSTORY

Club owner Felix Fontano, the son of a successful bootlegger and crime boss, is throwing this private party where a murder occcurs.

This mystery is divided into two primary segments.   

ACT ONE —— partygoers will have the opportunity to eat, drink and mingle. At the midpoint of the evening, one of the players makes a terrible discovery: someone has been murdered in the back room of the club!

ACT TWO — Solving the mystery. It will now be up to the guests to figure out what happened.

The guests quickly decide that the best course of action is not to call the police — as there are too many questionable characters. Therefore, EVERYONE is a suspect!!!! 

Help figure out who the murderer or murderers are!!
