The Story:
It’s 1988, and the Podunk Roller Rink is filled with teens showing off their shoulder pads and mullets—but it’s a strangely-assorted group. They ignore each other as much as possible and they seem resentful, almost like they’re here on detention. And why are the cool kids, the loners and the nerds all here together, skating dully in a circle?
The people watching from the sidelines are equally mismatched: the rink employees, tired of renting skates and selling hot dogs; the retired roller derby pros, bored by the lack of violence; and the town prudes, obsessed with the possibility that the teens might start enjoying themselves or even worse—dancing.
Suddenly, there is a scream. The body of Kevin Floosey, the new kid in town, has been found in the back hallway. It looks like someone strangled him with a leg warmer. Who could have done such a terrible thing to a guy who just wanted to dance… or is that really all he wanted?
Who knows? Maybe YOU killed him!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
How many people can play?
This murder mystery party is designed to be played by 4-20 people. ALL 20 roles have full motives and ANY of the characters could be the murderer. You can also play with more than 20 players by adding guests as “detectives” who participate by asking questions each round and guessing who the killer is at the end.
How do you play?
Great question. You can read a thorough rundown of how to play here: https://www.broadwaymurdermysteries.com/how-to-play
Can I play virtually via video chat?
You bet! We created a whole new set of rules and instructions to be able to play via video chat, including how best to assign the murderer so that the host does not know who it is.
What do I actually get when I buy this?
You will receive all the files needed to host and run your murder mystery party as a digital download. You’ll then be able to easily print the files and play as many times as you like! You will also receive a link to the “Evidence” video narrated by a Broadway performer.
Can you play more than once?
Absolutely! We’ve created this game to be played over and over again, because the murderer always changes! Use your “Who Did It Slips” to assign a new murderer each time you play! Plus, the answers to the questions each round are different based on whether or not the character is guilty! We also created a special tool to use when playing virtually that assigns the murderer secretly at random here: https://www.broadwaymurdermysteries.com/assign
How long does it take to play?
We estimate 1-1.5 hours, depending on how you structure your evening.
