For a night of dancing and specialty cocktails and craft beers , intrigue and mystery .... Someone will not leave the Lodge in this epic night of bringing rival factions together as The Great Prospect lodge roars out our evening in Great Gatsby 1920s style . "During a night of Prohibition-era revelry, something goes terribly wrong. Backstory The guests are a mixed group of club staff members, entertainers, and guests at a private party held at a jazz club in 1920s Grand Prospect Lodge Speakeasy. It is the height of the Jazz Age, and social revolution is afoot. This is the age of Prohibition—and of bootleggers and gangsters. Club owner Felix Fontano, the son of a successful bootlegger and crime boss—and a successful businessman himself—is throwing this private party for a group of select friends. It is a night of revelry like many other nights of revelry enjoyed by this group of sophisticates, artists, and hoodlums . . . until things go horribly wrong. This mystery is divided into two primary segments. During the first portion of the evening (Act One), the partygoers will have the opportunity to eat, drink, dance, and mingle, while enjoying the swanky atmosphere and smooth jazz of Fontano’s club, The Cat’s Meow Aka the Grand Prospect Lodge .. Murder! At the midpoint of the evening, one of the players makes a terrible discovery: someone has been murdered in the back supply room of the club! Solving the Mystery Act Two will begin with the grisly discovery of the victim’s bloody body. In the area around the body, there are signs of the struggle that occurred prior to the death. It will now be up to the guests to figure out what happened. The guests quickly decide that the best course of action is not to call the police, but rather to conduct an investigation amongst themselves; at this point, all the guests are suspects; a formal police investigation would dredge up unsavory details of their pasts and expose them to public scandal and unwanted personal repercussions, not to mention the serious and immediate legal repercussions of being caught in a bootlegging establishment!
