Death of a Gangster - Not interested in a main suspect role? Don’t worry–we only choose guests who are enthusiastic and willing!  You can still be part of the fun by dressing in your favorite Gangster attire.  If you aren’t chosen as a suspect, there is still plenty for you to do! All guests become sleuths at the scene of the crime. You will look at the evidence and bribe characters for clues to figure out exactly who did it. There is nothing quite like the thrill of having all of the clues suddenly fall into place and seeing the picture clearly. The “A-ha!” moment is absolutely magical.
