Death at the Speakeasy · Round 1

Lola LaRue

The headline singer

Your objectives

  • Tell everyone you were on stage when the siren went, then in your dressing room.
  • Find out who was near Vinnie's office during the blackout.
  • Do not mention your marriage, or the New York contract, to anyone.

What you know

  • Vinnie was drunk and angry before the show. He said "someone in this club is stealing from me" and looked straight at his wife, Dot.

Your secret

Tap to reveal

How it works

Three steps. About ten minutes of setup.

1. Add your guests

Buy a mystery, tell us how many are coming, and type a name next to each character. Change the count any time before you start.

2. Send the links

Each guest gets a private link. They read their character, their secret, and a two-item costume hint. It takes two minutes.

3. Press play

At the party, press “Start Round 1”. Every phone updates. Reveal clues on a TV or read them aloud. Three rounds, a vote, the reveal.

Why not a PDF kit?

Because the host shouldn't spend the party running the party.

Nothing to print

PDF kits mean 40 pages, a print shop, and a stapler. Ours means a link.

One screen per round

Long character booklets get skipped. Each round is a few lines: what you know, what to do, what to hide.

The host plays

The app runs the structure, so you can be a suspect like everyone else.

Guest count changes? Fine.

Someone cancels an hour before? Drop their character. The mystery still works from 6 players up.

Pick your night.

Questions hosts ask

How much prep is there?

About ten minutes: add names, send links. Guests read their character in two minutes. There is nothing to print, cut, or assemble.

Can I play too?

Yes. The app keeps the structure and the timing, so the host is a suspect like everyone else.

What if someone cancels on the day?

Change the player count before you start Round 1. Every mystery is written so the core characters carry the plot and the extras add colour.

Does it work over Zoom?

Yes. Guests use their phones for their characters and you share the clue screen from your laptop.

Do guests need to install anything?

No. It is a link that opens in any phone browser.

What if we don't like it?

Email us within 30 days and we refund it. No form, no questions.
