It is designed to be fun and not super hard. During the night our host will narrate the chain of events that lead to the murder then it is up to you to solve the case!** **What to expect?** You will be given a character that may be the person who everyone is looking for or you may be the person who solves the mystery. (You will not know right away). Our hosts will set the mood and explain what you need to do which is pretty much relax and enjoy the party with all of the other guests who are playing characters too! **What's the story?** At the most coveted party of the year, the velvet ropes are tight, the guest list is exclusive, and everyone in New York’s social scene is desperate to get inside. The event is hosted by Niles Davies, a once-beloved promoter who rose from humble beginnings to become a powerful influencer in the city’s nightlife empire. But success has changed him. Former friends feel betrayed, rivals resent his power, and many claim he built his empire by using people and leaving them behind. On this electric night, the nightclub is packed with a chaotic mix of A-listers, rising influencers, jealous lovers, competing promoters, social climbers, and curious newcomers—all hoping to be part of the biggest party in NYC. Yet before the night is over, the celebration takes a dark turn when one guest is found dead. With secrets, grudges, and hidden motives everywhere, it’s up to the partygoers to uncover what really happened and determine who turned the hottest party in town into a deadly crime scene. 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.
