A Posh High-Society Black-Tie Evening Affair, Full of Mystery, Intrigue, and Murder!

Dinner – Mystery – Casino

When Villains Are Around Every Corner

The Casino in Monte Carlo is where the elite socialites come to play, gambling away in one evening more cash than the average person might earn in a lifetime.  This extreme opulence and cavalier attitude towards money also attracts high-dollar criminals, spies, and other rogues.  Look around and try to determine who might be a jewel thief, an oil baron, a real estate magnate, a foreign spy, or just an imposter who is down on his luck.  Beneath the luxury silk tuxedos, the gem-studded ballgowns, and the exquisite fur coats, there lurks an entire array of aristocrats who have secrets and secret motives.

If these people are willing to lie, cheat, and steal to meet their ends, who’s to say that they wouldn’t commit MURDER, as well?  The casino may reek of wealth, fame, and filthy lucre, but it also hides the evil intents of the high-society individuals around you.

Tonight is your opportunity to spend an evening in this lion’s den, having dinner and playing roulette among the rich, powerful, and hungry.  Anyone in the room, including you, could be ready to end the life of anyone who stands in the way of their ultimate goals.  Who will die; and who will have committed the dastardly deed?

 

How the Evening Works

All guests, suspects and witnesses, will navigate through multiple activities and interactions as the story progresses across the evening.  The major portions of the evening and general time frames are detailed below:

  • 6:30pm – Arrival & Check-In:  Guests receive their character packets/mingling instructions, find their seating, and mocktails are served at the cash bar.
  • 7:00pm – Setting the Stage:  Your host introduces the evening, describes the scene, and Suspects are introduced.
  • 7:20pm – Dinner is Served: This is a great time to gossip about the Suspects!
  • 8:00pm – Roulette & Such:  Guests can play roulette and other mock casino games to earn prize drawing entries. (No actual gambling occurs – It’s Illegal!)
  • 8:40pm – Dessert, Coffee & Motives:  Reasons each suspect may have committed the crime are shared and discussed as dessert & coffee are served
  • 9:10pm – Means to an End:  Possible opportunities that each suspect may have had to commit the crime are shared and discussed.
  • 9:45pm – Accusations:  Guests use this time to decide who they think is guilty and submit their ballots.
  • 10:00pm – Alibis and Confessions:  The killer is revealed and prizes are awarded.
  • 10:30pm – Guests depart the casino

Suspects (Active Roles)

These 20 named characters are all suspects in the crime.  Guests who select a Suspect ticket will select one of these roles to portray during the Murder Mystery Event.  These are active roles and require the player to dress up and fully portray the role.  ANY of these 20 roles could be the murderer!

Witnesses (Supporting Roles)

These 30 available parts are all background characters present at the time of the crime.  Guests who select a Witness ticket will portray an unnamed bystander in the casino during the Murder Mystery Event.  These are supporting roles and do not require the active participation of the player.  Guests are welcome to interact at the level they feel comfortable by mingling and/or questioning suspects, or by simply observing the suspects throughout the evening.  All witnesses have the opportunity to accuse a suspect in order to solve the crime but are not required to actively portray a specific role.  Scene-appropriate attire (black-tie, ball gowns, fancy dress, etc.) is also encouraged but not required.
