It's
MURDER!
What
happens on the night of the murder mystery dinner?
Various
shady characters make their entrances (often posing as guests), and act
out various scenarios throughout the evening.
The action is interwoven throughout the audience, who "overhear"
characters having "private" conversations. At least one untimely
death is guaranteed to occur right before their eyes, and guests are encouraged
to question the characters as much as they wish to help solve the crime.
A "people's court" is held at the culmination of the evening
to help solve the dastardly misdeed-- usually with hilarious results.
It's up to the patrons to play detective and solve any murders that might
occur, submitting the correct solution on the ballot provided.
The solution is revealed at the end of the evening with prizes being awarded
to the runner-up and the best sleuth.

MY
BIG FAT GEEK WEDDING
by Michael McAdam
It's the wedding reception for blissful newlyweds, Aloe Vera and Trent
Razor. But all is not as blissful as it seems! Trent has a few problems
dealing with Aloe's family and friends. And it's no surprise-- from her
comic-book reading, anecdote-spewing uncle C.B. Guy, to Farley, the Star
Wars nerd boy next door -- not to mention his rival and Kirk-worshipping
Trekkie, Billy Shattered -- and last but not least, Muffy Winters, Aloe's
TV-crazed vampire-slaying college roommate. Put them all together, mix
in Farley and Billy's unrequited love for Aloe, C.B.'s overprotective
nature and Muffy being convinced that Trent is one of the undead -- and
did we mention a MURDER? -- and you've got one BIG FAT GEEK WEDDING.
MURDER
@ GIGAFLOP.COM
by Jane O'Brien
Tonight's gala party hosted by the Reverend and Kandy Kay Meekly has two
purposes: one, to honour the engagement of Bill Bytes to Jasmine Censor,
and two, to celebrate the thriving fund-raising of the Meekly's Church
of the Divine Download. On the surface, this seems to be a normal, run-of
the mill, ostentatious type of affair, but scratch a little and you'll
expose some of the pustulous putrefaction permeating this pack of pathetic,
perverse and pitiable people. Yes, larceny, lust, and greed abound-- the
pressure is quickly building, and when it explodes, there will be murder@gigaflop.com!
LITTLE
HOMICIDE ON THE PRAIRIE
by Jane O'Brien
Nestled in a bend of Prune Creek is the quaint town of Chicken Scratch,
Alberta. It's a typical prairie town - a few business people, a wealthy
banker who holds the mortgages on all the buildings and farms in the area,
and the rest of the folk who work their fingers to the bone trying to
eke out an existence. There's little diversion from the grind of everyday
life in Chicken Scratch, so when there's a church social - like they're
having tonight - everyone attends. It's too bad the evening will end in
calamity with a Little Homicide on the Prairie!
DIAL
F.M. FOR MURDER
by Susan Endean
Tonight was supposed to be a rousing party celebrating the 1st wedding
anniversary of Buffy Hacken-Spitz and her younger husband, Werner. It
is also the annual fund-raiser for Buffy's radio staion, CKOF Radio. But
put a hypochondriac station owner, her ex-tennis pro husband, an Iron
Curtain refugee D.J., a questionable New Age psychiatrist, an abrasive
talk show host, and a possibly larcenous lawyer together, and someone
might just Dial F.M. for Murder!
