Young Independence Professionals Murder Mystery Night Dinner

We hope you can make it to our Murder Mystery Night! That's right...we need your help to solve the murder on the Petulant Express. 

This evening will be interactive (that means audience members will play a part) and have a script, but also will be improvisational (that means we don't really know what exactly will happen) and it will be funny (really funny). 

It is 1937.  Aviator Amelia Earhart and her navigator disappear, and Howard Hughes sets a new transcontinental airspeed record.  In Lakehurst, New Jersey, the German airship Hindenburg explodes in flames.

The Japanese have invaded China, and Hitler is testing his Luftwaffe in Spain.  Civilian casualties mount in faraway places like Nanking and Guernica.  Many fear that war may soon spread throughout the globe.

In America, the streamlined train known as The Petulant Express is a marvel of the age.  Owned by industrial giant Peter Petulant, the train's regular journey between New York City and Chicago constantly attracted a passenger list of the rich and famous.  On this particular journey, they all seemed to be irritated and angry.  Petulant himself was a passenger on the noteworthy trek, occupying his plush Presidential Car.

But last night after a stop in Akron, Ohio, someone made a permanent alteration to the industrialist's career.  His body was found early this morning in his private car by a porter delivering his breakfast tray.  Petulant appeared to have died without a struggle, the victim of an unexpected attack.

With a world poised on the brink of war, who would dare trounce a titan of technology, especially one with the foresight and connections of Petulant?  And where would the trail lead that would eventually end up at the feet of a killer?  Only effective sleuthing and expert investigative skills will dictate the answers.
