The citizens of New Orleans are thrilled that the owners of the old Madison Avenue Mansion are hosting the annual Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball again this year. However, everybody knows that when events are held at the mansion, something always goes wrong. The Madison Avenue Mansion is an infamous manor, built in the mid-1800s, and rumored to be haunted by ill-spirited ghosts. Wedding ceremonies held there end in divorce, travelers that stay there go missing, and even one time during a gala event, an uninvited ninja that tried to rob the guests choked to death after stealing a bite of cake!
Nonetheless, outside of a few mishaps, nothing has ever gone seriously wrong at the annual Mardi Gras masquerade. You are a thrill seeker and want to attend the event. You knew the tickets were limited, so you were first in line to get yours. You’ve picked out the perfect mask and this is where your story begins.

18th Birthday Fun without trying!
For a bunch of teenage adults playing their characters halfheartedly without any costumes/menus/extras (All I got was the PDF and I only used the invites and main game) WE STILL HAD LOADS OF FUN. Language is all very American (Aussie here) but we still tried hard to solve the mystery and come out with two winners. We played with the minimum and had fun discovering our characters as we divulged clues to other people.

This was awesome!!
We had a blast playing absolving this game! The package came quickly, was organized, allowed for me to prepare the game without knowing the details or outcome so I could play too! We will definitely purchase another game to play in the future!
