A roaring '20s murder mystery party game for 8-15 guests - 8 required and 7 optional, ages 16 and up. Up to 55 unique player roles with all three expansion packs totaling 28 female and 27 male available players. The roaring twenties murder mystery party game is set at the height of prohibition in a 1920s speakeasy.

Spoil yourself, and choose the party ready option above, and our dedicated staff will fold and slip your clue cards for rounds one, two, and three into the envelopes to prevent you from seeing spoilers on the round cards. Without the party ready option selected, you will have some assembly required with your kit and there will be spoilers upon opening the kit and viewing the rounds 2 and 3 clue cards. The download version is a different product and does not come with the party pack, as they are not seamless and materials should not be used together.
Game release date: Jan, 2007

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?

Played this twice!
I've played this game twice with two groups of friends. Both events worked GREAT! First time, I did the download and this time, I opted for the boxed kit and it was perfect! Professional, and boxed very organized. I'd recommend going the boxed kit route - you could keep it a surprise if you wanted and it's just so much easier and looks great.
