Murder Mystery Synopsis:

The neighbors of Sunny Lane are an eclectic group of people. Most of them get along fabulously, but others have unfortunately plunged their wicked hooks into others, causing mayhem, despair, and severe misunderstandings. Nonetheless, the neighborhood Home Owner’s Association has decided to move forward with the annual block party in hopes that it will bring those engaging in combat to a truce and allow the neighborhood to live happily ever after in harmony.

The block party will be held at Kris Angels’ home this year. Kris, a professional magician who strongly upholds the Magician’s Oath and Code of Ethics, doesn’t typically invite guests over - for fear that magical secrets may become widespread knowledge. Rumor has it that Kris has rented a storage facility to hide specific gadgets, contraptions, and props from the guests.

You have received your invitation and cannot wait to soak up some sun, play backyard party games, and enjoy delicious grilled food with your neighbors. This is where your story begins.
