Be part of the wild and romantic era of the Roaring 20’s in
Murder at
The Juice Joint
With the passing of prohibition and organized crime on the rise, The Juice Joint, a swanky
speakeasy, has been nothing but jumping. To celebrate its success, an elaborate party has been
planned to remember at the exclusive nightspot… and you are invited!
However, one of the names on the guest list is also on another’s hit list… and no
one is safe from the consequences.
With murder on the menu, you are certain to find a medley of
individuals to make the night most memorable. From major mobsters
and their molls to the swanky singer with her hopes at Hollywood. The
cigarette girl with a temper that sizzles to the crooked police chief with
nothing to lose—no one is safe from murder…but everyone will have a chance
at solving it.
Will the culprit be the Mayor who is capable of murder? The blacklisted bootlegger
desperate to increase their sales? Or possibly the director with a shot at making history?
With the recipe for murder The Juice Joint will be certain to be serving up a night
of mayhem to remember.
There are only two places in the mystery materials that will tell you who the murderer is:
(1) In the solution. It will be separated into a different file AND flagged with a cover page to
tell you not to read it. The name itself is not highlighted, rather usually listed within the text and
amongst a lot of other text so there is little chance of “accidentally” seeing it when you are printing it
off. If you still do not trust yourself, have someone else print it out and put it in the solution envelope.
(2) It is listed in that guest’s secrets in their “B” materials. Since we cannot tell you which character
to “not read,” since that too would give it away, you will want to avoid reading the character’s “B”
information but your own. Again, it is not highlighted or bolded, but if you do not trust yourself, you
may want to have someone else stuff the envelopes.
• Because this party is dependent on a minimum number of people showing up, you may want to
determine ahead of time which guests are attending before assigning characters.
• It is recommended that you send out the general invite with an RSVP date of two weeks before
the party. After your guests RSVP positive, you can send them their character sheet.
• The killer will not know they are the murderer until after the murder at the party.
• The victim will not know they are the victim until they get to the party. The victim will become
aware they are the victim when reading through their “A objectives.” Also listed in their first set
of objectives is to, “fall down dead when they hear a loud bang, like a gunshot.”
• The victim after “death”: The victim will assume a different role, unlisted identity after the
murder (already included in their character packet). If P.I. is not assigned, the victim will assume
this role after they have “died.” As host, you will share P.I. Pinkertonl’s dossier with the victim,
via private chat, after the victim has died.
• Which characters can I play without and not ruin the mystery? Info included with mystery
• If you have eliminated the investigator for your party, then the victim will play the role of P.I.
Pinkerton for the second half of the party. Following the “death,” the victim will get up and the
host can then explain that there will be an investigator for the second half (which will be the
victim). Once the victim receives P.I. Pinkerton’s dossier via private chat from the host, the new
detective will open to the Investigation Instructions page, and proceed. Since the investigator’s
main role is based after the murder, it is ok if the investigator is eliminated from the first half of
the party and only plays the second half. Additionally, the victim does not know who killed them
or why, so the victim can assume the role of the investigator for the second half.
• P.I. Pinkerton, Bernie Booze, Gino Gin and Chief Cameron can be played by a male or female
guest.
Rosie Marie—Juice Joint Owner. As the widow to Louie Marie, the original Juice Joint owner, Rosie not only inherited a
gold mine but the power that comes with it. It is hard to say, is Rosie out to avenge her husband’s death or capitalize on it?
Notorious Nick Nemetz—North Side Mob Boss. Since the rise of organized crime, Nick’s operation has done
nothing but prosper. With Nick having so much power, he seems to have a lot going for (and against) him.
Natalie Nemetz—Notorious Nick’s Sister. Annoyed by her brother’s over-protective nature, Natalie has been keeping
more than secrets from Nick.
Mugsy Malone—North Side Henchman. As Nick’s right-hand man, Mugsy has worked hard to gain his position in
the mob organization and will stop at nothing to keep it.
Cy Ramsey—Juice Joint Bouncer and North Side Gang Member. Cy’s success in Nick’s operation could be considered
a threat to those in the operation—and to those opposing it.
Kitty Cocktail—Cocktail Waitress. As Cy’s main squeeze, Kitty will do anything to advance her boyfriend in his
chosen career.
Southside Sal—South Side Mob Boss. It is no secret that Sal has been making a push to expand his territory. The real
secret may be who is working with him.
Flora Nemetz-Gadora—Notorious Nick’s Ex-wife. Caught cheating, Nick divorced Flora immediately a month ago.
Left without anything, Flora’s romantic interest has shifted from one mob boss to another.
Molly Moll—Notorious Nick’s Girlfriend. One of the most popular women in town, Molly had no interest in Nick
until she realized what he could do for her movie career.
Hal Hollywood—Movie Director. Hal is in town to cast for his next project—the first talking picture. Since this
project will be one that will make history, Hal is taking his time in casting his lead lady, for he knows his decision will
have a lasting impact.
Dina Diva—Juice Joint Singer. Dina’s voice and stage presence seem to be exactly what Hal is looking for. Dina won’t
let anyone come between her and her dreams of starring on the big screen.
Mayor Biggs—Mayor. As the head of the city, the Mayor’s power is what many seek. However, is it the Mayor who is
really calling the shots or are the decisions coming from someone else?
Mabel Biggs—The Mayor’s Wife. Mabel considers herself the brains behind the Mayor and she will not let him do
anything that could ruin his political career.
Chief Cameron—Police Chief. As the city’s main law enforcement officer, Cameron enforces the Mayor’s decisions…
but whose side are they really on?
Cindy Butt—Cigarette Girl. Responsible for ruining many lives, Cindy doesn’t stop at spreading rumors to get her way.
Bernie Booze—Bootlegger. Bernie had one of the most successful bootlegging businesses in town before Notorious
Nick had them blacklisted. Will Bernie’s business end up dying for their mistake or will someone else?
Gino Gin—Bartender. As the eyes and ears of The Juice Joint, Gino may know more than they let on.
Flirty Flapper—Juice Joint Patron. It is no secret that Flirty is looking for a man with power and she will stop at
nothing to get it.
Anna Marie—Rosie’s Daughter. Still mourning the loss of her father, Louie Marie, Anna is ready to seek revenge at
whatever cost.
P.I. Pinkerton—Private Investigator. As the private detective on the scene, P.I.’s job will be to take charge, decipher
the clues, and discover the truth.
Have your guests print out their character packet, preferably ahead of time.
- They will want to staple it together, then review the first four pages of their document,
making sure not to read the rest of the packet. There are clear instructions and dividers
showing where to stop reading.
• This dossier will have background information on the party scenario, their character and
more!
- If your guests are unable to print out their character packet, they can also access the pdf
on a device during the party.
• However, in this case, they will need two devices (one to access the pdf and one to access
the party via the video conferencing site) at the time of the party.
At party time, you (the host) will want to have access to these files on your computer:
- Virtual Backgrounds to share with your guest
- P.I. Pinkerton’s dossier, if P.I. Pinkerton is not already assigned to someone.
- Evidence PDF
- Solution PDF
- Each Award PDF
- These files are all included with your downloads, but you will share them with members
of your group the night of the party via your room.
