Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to solve a murder.
Are you up to the challenge?
We want you to be fully involved in the experience so please come in Hawaiian/tropical costume and in character–perhaps you’re a world-renowned hula dancer? It’s optional, of course, but it will enhance your whole experience. Use your imagination and get ready to have fun!
Who among you will become a cold-blooded killer? A victim?
Be warned and beware, it could be the person standing right next to you!
