Golden Gate Learning Foundation is hosting an interactive Murder Mystery Speakeasy to raise funds for Chronos Academy.
Participants receive a character persona before the event. They arrive in costume, slip into their character roles and interact with others while the story builds around them over a gourmet dinner and drinks. By dessert, the clues will have pointed to a single suspect and whoever solves the mystery wins.
While parents are dining upstairs, kids age 4-12 eat pizza, solve a mystery & enjoy a kids’ movie.
Here’s the storyline…
It’s the height of Prohibition in 1920s Chicago, and there’s a mob war brewing between the South Side Gangsters and the Northern Chicago Mob Outfit. The two ruthless crime leaders Hal Sapone and Beanie O’Dannon have finally reached an agreement on bootlegging practices in Chicago and have decided to pull together resources to undergo a collaborative effort with criminal endeavors.
On the surface, this strategy seems similar to bailing out a sinking ship with tin cups, nevertheless.
Recently, gangsters from the north and south have been spotted together at various speakeasies throughout Chicago, but the tension in the air is always thick enough to be cut with a knife. However, this newfound relationship between the opposing mob bosses has served, thus far, to inhibit gratuitous bloodshed as in the past. Part of the success of this truce is that both crime bosses have found new dames, thereby intertwining more mutual relationships between the two factions.
The two gangs have set an official date to meet at Hal Sapone’s Grand Gatsby Speakeasy to resolve all remaining differences. Will these two underground organizations resolve their disputes or will a massive melee erupt, rekindling the fatal flames between them?
