The story

What happens tonight

The crème de la crème of society has gathered at Ashford Manor for Lady Victoria's legendary masquerade ball. The evening promised glamour, mystery, and scandal of the delicious, harmless variety. But when a prominent guest is found lifeless among the rose bushes during the evening's festivities, the party takes a macabre turn. The victim, a powerful figure with connections throughout high society, had been seen arguing with multiple guests throughout the evening. With a house full of masked revelers, anyone could have slipped away unnoticed. Was it revenge for a past betrayal? A crime of passion? Or cold-blooded calculation? The local constable has sealed the manor—no one leaves until the truth is revealed. As the grandfather clock ticks toward midnight, guests must piece together fragments of overheard conversations, suspicious absences during key moments, and long-buried secrets. Financial ruin, forbidden love affairs, blackmail, and family scandals swirl beneath the surface of polite society. Each guest harbors secrets they'd kill to protect—but which one actually did? The killer walks among them, hidden behind a mask of innocence, waiting for the perfect moment to disappear into the night.

Dress code

Embrace the glamour of the 1920s Jazz Age! Guests should wear formal masquerade attire: think flapper dresses with fringe and beading, elegant gowns, sharp tuxedos, or three-piece suits. Accessories are essential—feather boas, long gloves, suspenders, pocket watches, and art deco jewelry. Most importantly, everyone must wear a masquerade mask (eye masks, venetian masks, or decorative half-masks). Hair should be styled in period-appropriate fashion: finger waves, headbands with feathers, slicked-back hair, or dapper caps. The more theatrical and mysterious, the better!

How to talk

Adopt the refined, theatrical manner of 1920s high society. Use formal address ('Lord,' 'Lady,' 'Mr.,' 'Miss') and speak with elegance and dramatic flair. Pepper your conversation with period slang: 'darling,' 'old sport,' 'how positively dreadful,' 'what a scandal!' Express emotions with theatrical gestures—gasps, dramatic hand-to-forehead moments, and conspiratorial whispers. Remember, your character is both trying to maintain their social standing while potentially hiding dark secrets. Be suspicious, be charming, be defensive when questioned, and don't hesitate to throw subtle shade at your fellow guests. The wealthy should sound entitled and commanding, while those of lower status might be more deferential but equally cunning.
