Each player receives a character profile explaining who they are and why they are there. As the host, the host guide has everything you need to ensure players are comfortable and have a great time.
Spoiler: A Murder Happens!
Players will mix and mingle and have an opportunity to get into character before the murder. Evidence and clues will kick off the rest of the game.

After the murder, players will receive their goals and objectives. Then they have the rest of the game to blackmail, bribe, accomplish their goals, and figure out whodunnit!
