HOW IT WORKS
It's Hollywood, 1953. You don your vintage duds, assume the name of a classic film star and hit the town for an Oscars after-party. But before dinner is served, spend an hour exploring historic sites on Hollywood Boulevard. Which one is the scene of a crime?
WHERE WE MEET
Hollywood Boulevard is the scene of the crime, but which site? Is it Sid Grauman's Egyptian Theatre, built in 1922? The Hillview Apartments, built specifically for actors in 1917? Or how about Musso & Frank, Charlie Chaplin's favorite restaurant established in 1919?

STEVE IN LOS ANGELES
For Halloween this year, I tried to break out my best Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse, for a Murder Mystery Party on Zoom. My costume didn't look anything like Willem Dafoe, and my impression didn't sound anything like Willem Dafoe, but I had a blast nonetheless. And I even solved a murder!
HUNTER IN SANTA FE
The most fun I've had in the pursuit of justice!
I see why The New York Times said such good things. Everyone was so creative in different ways. I was cracking up the whole time.

It was like the game Clue and really fun. Highly recommend this.
