CASINO FATALE

On the banks of the river Seine, in Paris, lies the famous Casino Fatale. The place is rumored to have ties with a notorious crime organization. On the other hand, the casino is known as the meeting place for the A-list of Paris. Tonight, Casino Fatale is organizing a charity auction and the guest list includes players, starlets, thieves and various people from the underworld. Are you willing to bet your life at Casino Fatale?

​

The Paris police are there to keep the peace, but they must take it upon themselves to catch the croupier's killer with the help of the other guests. The task is difficult since hardly anyone is what they seem and the killer and some of the auction's valuables are in danger of disappearing into the cold city night. Your task is to solve the case and find other criminals. Or simply join them. Experience the splendor of diamonds and the dangers of gambling in Casino Fatale.

CHARACTERS

​

Every guest will have a character to play. Half of these people carry guns and all of them have secrets. Behind every smile there might be a secret agent, a hard-boiled detective or a fast-fingered jewel thief. The auction lures artists, unfathomably rich business people, and certainly the casino staff who hardly know how to keep their noses clean.

DRESS CODE

​

The charity auction at Casino Fatale calls for the A-game when it comes to dress code. Tuxedos, black ties and evening dresses fit the mood perfectly. The story is set in the modern day.

​

Dressing up for the Murder Mystery’s theme helps you immerse yourself in the story and we encourage such endeavors. Character sheets give some ideas of what the character might wear or look like. We want to emphasize that dressing up is not necessary, and the most important thing is to feel comfortable in whatever you choose to wear. What you can find from your own wardrobe is sufficient, but if you want to put in some extra effort, you might find what you need from costume rentals, flea markets, or party prop stores.

PROPS & ITEMS IN THE MURDER MYSTERY

​

This Murder Mystery uses cards (abilities, secrets, gossip, items) as props and keys to solving the case. When the program starts, Tuoni Studios’ host tells you how these cards work, and is present for the whole duration if you need any help with them later. Reading just one secret card seldom leads to any conclusions, so you’ll need more info from different cards and characters, and then start connecting the dots.

 

You’ll receive these cards at the start of the program, including any items your character might need.

​

​

VENUE AND EQUIPMENT

​

The venue should have enough seats for everyone in case of a dinner, and ample room to mingle. A restaurant cabinet, a nightclub or maybe even a real casino works marvelously. No need for a stage or an additional AV equipment.

TIPS & TRICKS

​

• Acting or memorizing lines are not required when taking part in a Murder Mystery. No one is forced to exit their comfort zone. However, by throwing yourself into the story and your own character, you get the most out of the program.

• If you normally need glasses to read, we recommend bringing a pair.

• Conveying information and co-operating with other characters are the key to success in a Murder Mystery. Try to find characters you can trust, ally with, and share information with.

• Each character has their own agenda, so don’t trust everyone.

• If you feel stuck, ask the Tuoni Studios’ host for help. They’ll give you more tips on how to advance with your personal goals or solving the case.
