Description

A live, interactive, murder mystery where you are a custom character helping your team solve the case to win the game. Carnegie Chic - a 1920s Murder Mystery, is a fundraiser for the Carnegie Heritage and Arts Center in Linton Indiana. “It is 1928, as prohibition continues to keep the entire country dry for nearly a decade. In the center of a sleepy Midwestern town sits a grand yet discrete building seemingly as quiet and still as the surrounding fields. But, with a flick of a secret switch and a whispered password, a panel opens revealing a sordid soiree of raucous revelry. The building hides more than just a clandestine speakeasy. It protects the secrets of a bygone era, concealing long forgotten mysteries in its resplendent design and ornate decor. The underground gin joint is buzzing with excitement because tonight celebrates the 20th anniversary of its founding. The structure’s enigmatic past and the town’s peculiar lore leave guests wondering if any mysteries will be revealed or any mystical predictions will come true. As the party begins, bootlegging beauties foxtrot with metropolitan mobsters, rabble-rousing flappers sip bathtub gin with prolific poets of the Harlem Renaissance, and impassioned Jazz singers serenade dolled up debutantes. The problem is, one of you is a murderer.” All Tickets Include • A custom character. (You will receive a short character description ahead of time for costume purposes. You do not have to dress as your character, though most players do.) • Heavy Appetizers • 1 drink ticket Sponsorship Packages are available through our Eventbrite ticketing section. How it works: • Each player receives a character sheet with information pertaining to themselves, other characters, and the plot. • The players are split into teams and tasked with utilizing their clues, their teammates' clues, and information they gain from the game, to deduce the identity of the killer and the motive as well as any other crimes. • The game progresses in rounds. Each one reveals more clues to the players and allows time for them to mingle with other characters, follow up on leads, and question each other about clues. After three rounds have been completed the teams will have time to discuss and attempt to solve the crime. • Each team will then choose a spokesperson to tell the group who they think is the killer and the motive for the murder as well as any other culprits. The true plot will then be revealed, and the winning team will be determined.
