Your Story Starts Here!

Well-known actress and former darling of the silent film era, Frances Beck, has spent most of her career hosting colorful parties and secret soirees throughout the years. It is an honor to be invited and even harder to stay on the guest list. Now aging and retired, Frances has announced her intentions to release a tell-all book, Behind the Curtain, detailing the sordid lives of Hollywood’s elite. She’s invited the cream of the crop to her estate for an evening celebration and the first glimpse at her new story. But would anyone kill to keep these secrets under wraps?

Before the game, players receive a character profile with a backstory, personality traits, and various goals to accomplish. Once the game begins, guests "act" as their character, interacting with others, moving through scenarios, while investigating, bribing, or blackmailing other characters. Then, spoiler alert, a murder takes place! After that, players receive their Goals and Objectives for the rest of the game. The murderer knows they are the killer and is trying to cover their tracks while the other players are trying to figure out whodunnit! Many players will have secrets of their own to hide. In the end, there are awards for Best Performer, Costume, and more and players have an opportunity to share their secrets with the rest of the group.
