Murder Mystery Synopsis:
It’s 1998, and paranoia is on the rise because of the predicted Y2K bug. When the clock strikes midnight at the turn of the millennium, experts have warned that computers will misread the year and kill us all – or at least something along those lines. Tensions are high, moods are foul, and the end of the world might be on the horizon.
An elite group of high society has made a cloak-and-dagger alliance to deal with the impending apocalypse. They have agreed to meet for the first time at an unassuming, secret location in Beverly Hills for the initial strategy meeting. It will take careful planning to ensure survival once the Y2K bug launches and the computers of the world reset to 1900, causing power grids to fail, financial markets to collapse, and travel to come to a screeching halt.
You have been included in this survival group. You must arrive on time with your best ideas for how to weather the Y2K storm. This is where your story begins.

Entertaining Experience for All
We loved the 90's themed Prognosis: Murder pack. The introductory video helped set the scene for all the participants (none of us had done a murder mystery party before), and the clues prompted us to mix and mingle well. As the host, I was also able to get into the spirit of the party as well. Most people guessed the murderer, but not everyone, so it was a fun difficulty level too. I would recommend this murder mystery party!

Nostalgia
It was so awesome to have the bast package plus the #1 package for 4 more guests. It was a blast and it was a great celebration for my wife's 30th birthday.
