Smith is on trial for triple homicide and his fate rests in your hands. Is he guilty or not? You decide.
A hit ordered by a drug cartel, a hate crime or a bitter man’s revenge?

HOW THE STORY GOES
The Murder Mystery is in four acts and the guests have the opportunity to interview the actors between them. If dinner is served, the courses are served between the acts. The evidence for the case is digital and can be accessed via a smartphone. The trial is closely followed by a talk show The Sutherland Report, offering insight on the case in short video clips. The guests form the jury and decide the suspect’s fate by the end of the show.
VENUE AND EQUIPMENT
The show requires a stage or a large enough performance area. For the show, we need a couple of tables and 5 chairs, a side table for laptop, and a screen and a video projector or TV screen (which all guests can see). For groups larger than 50 people, a PA system is required (including 4 headset microphones).
TIPS FOR THE SHOW
Parts of the show take place on the stage, but the actors spend time amongst the guests between acts, and interviewing them is encouraged.
All the evidence is digital, so each group of guests should have at least one smartphone in their disposal. Reading glasses might also come in handy.
In Murder Mysteries, sharing information and cooperation are the keys to success, and by the end of the evening, each group form their own theories and hand out the verdict.
Tuoni Studios’ host is always available if questions arise or help is needed. They can also give you background information, or tips and tricks for solving the case.
The trial will be reported live by Donovan Sutherland, the host of the hottest talk show in Texas.
