Murder Mystery Synopsis:
The Dawson family has just settled into their new home at 614 Scarlet Court, and to make a splash in their cozy neighborhood, they’re throwing a block party. Leading the charge is Isabella Dawson—a seasoned party host who has already earned the unofficial title of resident gossip queen after just two months in the small town of Shady Oaks. Despite the chatter, neighbors are looking forward to a night of food, fun, and friendly faces… or so it seems.
Since the invitations hit mailboxes, whispers of blackmail, betrayal, and simmering revenge have begun to stir beneath Shady Oaks’ picturesque surface. The air is thick with tension, and not just from the humidity.
Still, Isabella insists on keeping things cheerful—offering dazzling conversation, gourmet bites, and party games designed to charm even the grumpiest guests. But with secrets bubbling just below the surface, who knows what the night will bring?
Your invitation has arrived, and you’re planning to attend.
This is where your story begins.
