A Sampling from the Introduction:

“Welcome to all of our lovely guests.

The year is 1920, we are two years past the ending of the brutal World War and people finally feel free to live their lives again. Prohibition takes over the United States, leaving the hangovers to the creative. Rebellion is brought out among the people, creating a love of Jazz music, flappers, and dancing. Organized Crime runs rampant and the Mafia is on the rise. The streets are filled with moonshine, bootleggers, gangsters, and, dare I say it, Murder.

Welcome to our 1920s Speakeasy Murder Mystery. While most of you are among the rich and the famous, there are quite a few who dabble among the conniving and the desperate. There are rich histories to be learned and scandalous secrets to be discovered. We had high hopes that tonight would go off without a hitch, but, given the morally ambiguous nature of our guest list, we understand why that simply could not be the case.

With that being said, at the end of the night, three of you will be dead.
