Roaring into the Twenties Murder Mystery: (A benefit for the Monroe County Democratic Women's Caucus)

It is Feb 7th, 1921, and the 19th amendment was just the beginning. You have been invited to the clandestine speakeasy of Clara Rose Bradshaw, a leader in the suffragette movement, political activist, and all-around conventional culture agitator, to celebrate the successes of the past and rally for equity and justice in the future. With a whispered word and a quiet click, a hidden passage reveals the raucous yet elegant soirée. But the secret door and ever-changing password hide more than just illegal hooch and defiant merriment. Secrets pass from scarlet lips to intrigued ears just above the din of impassioned Jazz and clinking glasses of bathtub gin. Prolific poets of the Harlem Renaissance weave words with passion and power. Bold bootleggers dance with silent stars of the silver screen, while unapologetic suffragettes discuss equality and policy with elite Washington insiders and local rabble rousers. The future of the movement is in this room.

The problem is, one of you is a murderer.

How it works:

• Each player receives a character sheet with information pertaining to themselves, other characters, and the plot.

• The players are split into teams and tasked with utilizing their clues, their teammates' clues, and information that they gain from the game, to deduce the identity of the killer and the motive as well as any other crimes.

• The game progresses in rounds. Each one reveals more clues to the players and allows time for them to mingle with other characters, follow up on leads, and question each other about clues. After three rounds have been completed the teams will have time to discuss and attempt to solve the crime.

• Each team will then choose a spokesperson to tell the group who they think is the killer and the motive for the murder as well as any other culprits. The true plot will then be revealed, and the winning team will be determined.

Your Tickets Include:
