But somewhere along the way, the evening takes a terrible turn.
There's been a murder, and someone in the room did it!
The room is sealed off, and the authorities are called in.
Guests are given name tags and scripts, and must get to the bottom of the murder mystery.
Working together, tables of people who started out as strangers, are now detectives trying to get to the bottom of the mystery. One of them may even be the murderer him or herself!
