Description
Casino Fatale is a murder mystery game for 15 to 30 guests and one or two hosts. It is set in a Paris casino hotel, in the present day.
Casino Fatale is an exclusive evening of espionage, crime, intrigue, and murder! Your guests will be in the middle of the action, and it will be up to them to wheel and deal to get what they want. Will they achieve their goals, keep their secrets hidden, and survive Casino Fatale?
On the banks of the River Seine in Paris is the Hotel D’Etoile, with a casino named the Casino Fatale. Rumour has it that the casino is connected to the mysterious underworld character ‘Mr X’. No one seems to know exactly who the elusive Mr X is, or what he looks like – and there are many people who would love to know.
Among those trying to find Mr X are Interpol, the local police, the local organized crime family, and the agents of several countries in which Mr X is believed to operate.
Tonight, however, a charity auction is being held at Casino Fatale and it has drawn all sorts to the casino – playboys, starlets, maybe even a jewel thief… Who will you play?
