Murder Mystery Synopsis:
It’s the height of Prohibition in 1920s Chicago, and there’s a mob war brewing between the South Side Gangsters and the Northern Chicago Mob Outfit. The two ruthless crime leaders Hal Sapone and Beanie O’Dannon have finally reached an agreement on bootlegging practices in Chicago and have decided to pull together resources to undergo a collaborative effort with criminal endeavors.On the surface, this strategy seems similar to bailing out a sinking ship with tin cups, nevertheless. Recently, gangsters from the north and south have been spotted together at various speakeasies throughout Chicago, but the tension in the air is always thick enough to be cut with a knife.
However, this newfound relationship between the opposing mob bosses has served, thus far, to inhibit gratuitous bloodshed as in the past. Part of the success of this truce is that both crime bosses have found new dames, thereby intertwining more mutual relationships between the two factions. The two gangs have set an official date to meet at Hal Sapone’s Grand Gatsby Speakeasy to resolve all remaining differences. Will these two underground organizations resolve their disputes or will a massive melee erupt, rekindling the fatal flames between them? This is where your story begins.

Soo much fun
The game was easy to follow and all the instructions were set out clearly. It was so much fun hosting this and I would definitely try another one in the future.

Made for a great night and great memories
We played this for my birthday, with a large group who most of whom didn’t know each other, and this game was great at bribing everyone together. It tells you specifically who to go talk to, and so that will help your guests get to know each other and break the ice! Would highly recommended this one!

A Gatsby Affair
While we only had an all female group (some of us took on the roles of the men), it was still a blast! It was well done, and I highly recommend doing the optional challenges - so much fun! The laughter was nonstop throughout the party, no matter how serious we tried to be in our roles. We plan to order another kit to do after the holidays!

A Grand Time at the Grand Gatsby
We all had so much fun! The storyline was extremely detailed but the directions were easy to follow. I liked that many of the costumes were similar, so people can easily switch characters if there is a last minute emergency. I would highly recommend this for a fun-filled night!
