Calling All Mafiosos!
Step into the shadowy world of 1940's organized crime, where loyalty is everything and betrayal lurks in every corner. Immerse yourself in a night of intrigue, deception, and danger, where secrets are deadly, alliances are fragile, and every decision could change your fate. Choose your side wisely- trust no one, and remember: in this world, power is the ultimate currency.
The Scene:
Tensions are high as two rival mafia families, long at odds, are meeting under a fragile truce to negotiate peace and secure their future. But as the families gather to seal the deal, one ambitious member has other plans. When a sudden murder disrupts the night, the truce shatters, and suspicions run wild.
Was it a calculated act of betrayal? A warning from the opposing family? It's up to you to piece together the clues, interrogate your fellow party goers, and uncover the truth. Someone in the room is guilty, was it you?!
