How long will it take to orchestrate the mystery?

This mystery is designed to be an evening's entertainment and the focal point of your event. Give yourself two hours to stage it. 


How many people can participate?

From five to 50 people can comfortably participate in the investigation.


Does everyone have a role?

The plot includes five suspects AND a security chief to lead the investigation. These individuals are the only ones with assigned roles. Everyone else becomes a sleuth who uses effective investigative techniques to figure out the intricacies of the crime. Since the guilty party doesn't know who did it, everyone can attempt to solve the case.
