Murder at the Midnight Show is a role-playing murder mystery for a dinner party or a night in with friends. The setting is a glamorous showroom on the Las Vegas Strip in 1963, with sequins, a big band and a headliner everyone came to see. Halfway through the evening Dex Lanigan, the showman who runs the place, is found dead upstairs while the whole room was watching the stage.
Your guests become the people who were there that night: the stage manager, the dance captain, a gossip columnist, a Hollywood producer, a visiting princess and more. Each of them has something to hide. Clues come out round by round, and the group has to answer three questions: when and how Dex died, how the killer reached his office without being seen, and who did it and why.
Six characters who between them hold every clue you need.
Nine characters, more alibis to check and more secrets to trade.
Twenty characters, from the band to the guest list, for a full house.
Some of the twenty people in the building that night. Mini uses the first six, Classic nine, Grand all twenty.
