What the $600 plan covers

One shared weekend contribution. Personal extras stay personal.

Shared weekend cost

Friday and Saturday lodging through Sunday mid-morning, group food and nonalcoholic drinks, '80s snacks, mystery printing, props and shared supplies.

Your separate choices

Costume, travel, alcohol, personal shopping, restaurants and optional attractions are not included in the shared contribution.

About $600 each

The plan is to collect about $600 per person once the cabin and group are confirmed. A final breakdown and treatment of any unused balance will be shared with everyone before money is collected.

Saturday night feature

A record mogul. A vanished master tape. One deadly remix.

At Veronica Vale's private industry party, seven glamorous guests arrive with bold ambitions and carefully edited alibis. Before the night is over, the queen of Neon Manor is dead—and every guest has a secret worth killing for.

Every attendee receives a playable character. The organizer and “victim” are fictional, so no one has to sit out. Roles can be matched to outgoing, investigative or low-pressure personalities.
