Description

A Roaring Twenties murder mystery party game for 8-15 players, ages 16+. There are up to 55 unique player roles with all three expansion packs (purchased separately). Given the time, there is not a forensic report in this game. 

This is the instant download version of the game - you will have everything needed to play with the instant download - just print and prepare. There's nothing to ship, so you avoid shipping fees!  For the party pack (boxed set version), click on the link below in the helpful links section.

Included: four PDF files: host instructions, game materials, solution key, and an optional free invitation file.  You must use Adobe Reader (free software that you can download at Adobe.com) to view the PDF file, as a PDF is an Adobe product.  

Format: this is a traditional, mingling, clue-based game for in-person groups. For virtually-formatted games that are ideal for video chat platforms, click here. 

Gifting: the standard game license does not allow transfers, so you cannot purchase a download as a gift. For gifts, click here for gift certificates, or use the link below for the boxed version of the game (party pack).

Murder Mystery Synopsis:

It's the height of Prohibition in 1920s Chicago, and a mob war's 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 agreed on bootlegging practices in Chicago and have decided to pull together resources for a collaborative effort with criminal endeavors.
On the surface, this strategy is similar to bailing out a sinking ship with tin cups.
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 rekindle the fatal flames between them?
This is where your story begins.

    The game was well planned and thought out. The mystery was intriguing and my guests totally got into it. We're hosting another one this holiday.

    Excellent

    I've hosted games from other companies and they don't compare to this company. You get a video trailer, a great story and characters, and my guests totally got into the pregame experience. The bonus games were great, too. We'll be doing another one soon.
