True crime detectives, the game is afoot. In this virtual show based on an unsolved 1920s Hollywood murder, audience members become the sleuths in a case that mixes theater, mystery, and collaborative code-breaking. Guided by best-selling true crime author Mickie McKittrick, you and your fellow detectives will uncover the evidence and follow the clues, altering the course of the show every night. Sharpen your pencils and join this interactive ride that questions our collective obsession with solving the impossible. You will recieve player questionnaire’s in advance of the night’s game, along with a dossier on your suspect.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Mickie will be your guide throughout the show. Sometimes the entire group will work together, while at other times you’ll join a smaller breakout room for a more intimate examination of evidence and clues. Ultimately, the entire group will make choices to determine the show’s surprising conclusion.
   ​
2. Prices are per household and all-inclusive. You do not need to purchase additional tickets for family members for the show as long as everyone is sitting around the same computer.
   ​
3. All detectives (one designated person per household) will take a brief personality survey quiz one week before each show. This determines the best fit for the break-out detective group to which you will be assigned to work on specific tasks during the case.
   ​
4. This production will use the Zoom video conferencing platform. Detectives will “check in” to their show up to 30 minutes ahead of curtain, and may be asked to interact with Mickie. Please be prepared to share your video at all times.

With the holidays here, this evening could also make for an incredible show to share with your family. You can also choose to buy out the show for a private evening with your family and friends. To buy out a show be sure to contact: Karen Gutierrez at [email protected]
