Murder Mystery Synopsis:
It's 1927, and the mob scene is thriving in major cities across the United States. Rum-running, loan sharking, protection rackets, speakeasies, and gaming halls are all flourishing. To achieve supremacy as a unified crime faction, crime bosses from Atlantic City, New York City, and Chicago have decided to establish The Commission during a gathering known as the Atlantic City Conference. This governing body will oversee all mob organizations in the country.
Opinions vary on how The Commission should be run and who should be the boss of all bosses. Some high-ranking officials are strongly opposed to the idea, leading to preemptive hostility. Nonetheless, the crime bosses have agreed to conduct themselves with integrity at the conference, enforcing an unbreakable truce.
Nuggy Jones from Atlantic City has agreed to host the conference at his residence and place of business, the Karlton Ritz Hotel on the Boardwalk. Mobsters from the biggest families will soon arrive in Atlantic City. This is where your story begins.

Boardwalk was fun!
Easy to host, customer service was impeccable, and a just enough difficult mystery to solve. Only 2 people got it right, but I loved that.

WE had so much fun!
Murder Mystery weekends have become a part of my Girl Scout Troop's camping weekends. The teens loved this game and had fun dressing and playing out their parts...can't wait to do our next one.

Our group had a great time
This party was so well organized and meticulous to the last detail. I loved the guest site - it really added a bunch of excitement before the party. I'm so happy with the game and this company, who responded within the hour when I emailed them. Next time, I will get the party ready pack, however, as I've heard from friends it's the way to go if you have the budget for it. Bravo, guys, can't wait to host another one

An absolute blast
We had so much fun with this party and were amazed by the amount of detail the authors included in the clues/instructions.
