    What's the story?
    THE STORY
    Katie and Ronald have been dating on and off since high school. Their relationship has survived breakups, makeups, money problems, cheating accusations, lies, jealousy, and enough drama to fill ten years of reality television. But somehow, they always found their way back to each other.
    After a decade together, Ronald finally popped the question—and now their wedding is only one week away! Katie and Ronald are convinced that the problems of their past are behind them.
    They’re older. They’re wiser. They’ve matured. They’ve forgiven each other. At least… that’s what they keep telling everyone.
    To celebrate their final days of single life, Katie and Ronald have decided to skip the traditional separate bachelor and bachelorette parties and throw one enormous combined celebration instead.
    They’ve chartered a party bus and invited an unforgettable collection of friends, family members, former flames, old enemies, questionable acquaintances, and a few characters from their past who probably should have stayed there.
    The plan is simple: pile onto the party bus, hit several locations, drink too much, party too hard, and celebrate the happy couple before they walk down the aisle.
    What could possibly go wrong? Apparently… everything. As the party rolls from one stop to the next, the drinks start flowing—and so do the secrets. Old grudges resurface. Past relationships are exposed. Feelings get hurt. Friendships are tested. Unexpected bonds are formed. Hookups happen. Accusations start flying. And some people begin to wonder whether Katie and Ronald should be getting married at all.
    Then the celebration takes a deadly turn.
    Before the night is over, one member of the party will be DEAD. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect. Was it the jealous ex-boyfriend who never got over the bride? The nagging future mother-in-law who thinks this wedding is a terrible mistake? A jilted former lover looking for revenge? The minister who knows more about the couple than anyone realizes? The bride’s bizarre brother, who’s been acting suspiciously all night? Or could the killer be someone even closer to the wedding…Katie or Ronald themselves?
    Everyone aboard the party bus has a story. Everyone has a secret. And someone has a motive for murder. You’re invited to join Katie and Ronald for one final night of partying before they say “I do.” But choose your friends carefully. Because tonight… You could be the victim. You could be the murderer. Or you could be the one who solves the case.
    Welcome aboard.
    FAQs:
    Can I come alone? Yes 90% of those attending will likely register on their own but you are invited to bring as many guests as you would like just register for that amount.
    Age-specific? All are welcome 21 and over.
    How much? $20-$30 depending upon how early you purchase. NOT sold at door. Game limited to 40 people and this sells out quickly.
