ROUND ONE CLUES – cut out, slip into envelopes and label with the character and round. Character S – ROUND ONE

CLUES TO REVEAL DURING THIS ROUND You’ve had the flu for the last three weeks, but haven’t

missed work – you don’t believe in missing work for being sick, but you’ve passed on the flu to many people. You are still very weak.

You recently learned how to ride a bicycle for the first time. See if others like to ride bicycles. When you get better, you are going to start riding your bike down the strip every day. You’re focusing on your health.

Character M and Character K are cousins, but they don’t get along. Find out more about this.

Recently, you were given a once in a lifetime opportunity to attend an exclusive Hollywood movie premiere of a movie that Character K starred in, Ice Cold Fangs – a movie about a vampire that was frozen in ice in the year 1132 and defrosted in modern times. You sat in front of her who spoke and kicked your seat the whole time. You snapped, threw a fit, and were escorted out of the theater like a common criminal.

You think Character B is despicable. You’ve never gotten along. She is a terrible reporter!

PERSONAL CLUES TO CONCEAL You want to get revenge on Character K for the public

humiliation you endured by being escorted out of the movie premiere. It ended up as a story in many trash tabloids!

Each player will have a round one card in the purchased game.

Names removed to minimize spoilers.


ROUND TWO CLUES – cut out, slip into envelopes and label with the character and round.

Each player will have a round two card in the purchased game.


CHARACTER W - ROUND TWO Pre-Murder Clues

You cannot stand Character I. You’ve never had a customer in the BeBe Steakhouse that treated you as rudely as s/he did. S/he complained about everything – just to complain! You think that s/he has a social issue and doesn’t know how to get long in society.

Talk to Character G about what happened to him/her at the movie premiere of Ice Cold Fangs. You heard drama happened.

Ask around to see if anybody believes that Character H’s family is affiliated with the mob. You are not sure if you believe that rumor.

Talk to Character B about why s/he lost the Black Tie Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament in Hollywood.

Post-Murder Evidence (Blood Type O-) You should arrange a chronological timeline to see

where everybody was at the time of the murder. You remember seeing the murder weapon at the

buffet table, but you don’t think you touched it. If there is more than one blood type found at the crime

scene, the second blood type that doesn’t match the victim may be from the murderer.

You never left the main casino, and you noticed many people coming in and out of the casino prior to the victim’s body being discovered. The killer could be one of many people.
