Synopsis

The internationally popular game is now a fun-filled musical that brings the world’s best-known suspects to life and invites the audience to help solve the mystery: who killed Mr. Boddy, in what room, and with what weapon.

The audience receives forms to help them deduce the solution from clues given throughout the fun-filled evening.

Three audience members choose from cards representing the potential murderers, weapons, and rooms; there are 216 possible solutions!

Only one hard-nosed female detective is qualified to unravel the merry mayhem.

Comic antics, witty lyrics, and a beguiling score carry the investigation from room to room.

Even after the culprit confesses, a surprise twist delights the audience.

This colorful crowd-pleaser was devised by the authors of Murder at Rutherford House and other popular interactive entertainments.
