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.

    My first but not last Muder Mystery party, AWESOME!!!!

    I hosted my first party of this type and had a ball doing so. The package was compete and easy to use. All the guests, suspects and extras about 27 of them played their roles well. I encouraged everyone and got all to do pre-party activities. The character costume suggestions were spot on. Excellent.

    This is our fourth mystery party that we have done from this company and it was fantastic. I was very busy and did the upgrade package where they print everything out - it was so great - everything looked wonderful and was packaged so nicely. really impressed! We will do this again for sure!

    So much fun!

    We ordered this last minute for a Halloween party and it was perfect! I loved that you could download everything especially since there wouldn't have been enough time to ship anything. The fact that it encouraged everyone to interact with each other was a big hit. We'll definitely be ordering more games in the future.

    We had a group aged from 7-69, and fun was had by all! Not a moment of boredom nor people wanting to quit. We laughed, we cried and the dead person haunted us all! Will be buying another game soon.

    WOW!!

    Since I have never attended or hosted a mystery party I took my time and studied all the different options for games. I decided on the Roaring 20s party and I purchased it well in advance of my party. I am amazed at the work that has gone into the game!! Every detail has been thought of, down to six suggested fonts to use when writing to players!! There are suggestions for decorating which I would never have thought of! Costume ideas, recipes, even a video teaching the Charleston! As I read through the instructions I wrote down questions and figured I would email the company. No need!! By the time I finished reading the instructions every question was answered. Before I ordered the game I emailed the company two different times with questions and received answers in a matter of a few hours! Good customer service! I am very excited and wish I had planned to have this party sooner. If this game goes over as well as I think it will I know I will be back to try more!! I know our friends are going to love this! I am having as much fun planning this as everyone will have playing it!
