MURDER MYSTERY PARTY

You’ve come a long way in the last thirty-two years and so have your classmates. It’s time to reunite with your old friends (and enemies) to see what everyone’s become. Unfortunately for one of you…it is a murderer who is destined to strike. Will it be the math team captain who is now a financial wizard with millions? The valedictorian who refuses to let anyone top them - EVER? Or possibly the class president who is now a U.S. presidential hopeful?

You’ll have but one night to figure it out and bring the killer to justice. Get ready for a night of mystery and mayhem intertwined with rivalries from the past that spill over to the present. At Murder High, it’s not only what you were, but what you’ve become. And let’s hope it’s a survivor. It will be a reunion you won’t forget… if you live to tell about it!
